Friday Fun Link – Female Runner Who Uses Nike+ To Draw Dicks on Maps is American Hero

[Edit: Corrected title of post to say “…Draw Dicks Is American Hero” instead of “Draw Dicks In American Hero” which is a totally different meaning!] Funny story about a brilliant runner who chooses routes that end up displaying as drawings of penises when mapped online. (This runner also has a Tumblr where she draws other things besides dicks.) […]

Music Monday – “How long will you chase/This dream that’s so clear from the stage?”

Music Monday – “Eight days and a clash on the number four/Three witnesses blown up high/My sentence will be done/You can call me a son for wondering why?” @colterwall @premierbradwall

Colter Wall is a Saskatchewan musician who is getting a lot of attention lately, at least in part due to a positive mention by WWE/UFC superstar, Brock Lesnar who used a Wall song in a recent promo video as well as some of his music being included on the “Dog the Bounty Hunter” show. Wall’s first album is […]

Great #Saskatchewan MustardFest #yqr

Shea and I attended MustardFest with my mom last weekend (Grandpa stayed home and babysat which was just as well given how crowded the event was.) It threatened rain like they had in 2014 but it turned into a beautiful day this year for people to celebrate one of Saskatchewan’s biggest crops. My only suggestion […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Back to School

Here’s a shot of the elementary school I attended growing up. I took this picture when we were back to Indian Head for a visit a few years ago but the look of the building including that 1980’s colour scheme hasn’t changed. (The playground however has changed quite a bit.) We went past my elementary […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Great Picture of My Mom (Oct 2007)

This is one of my all-time favourite pics of my mom (and a cropped version remains as her Facebook profile picture since I first helped her set-up an account on that site!) The photo was taken during a Long Term Service Awards dessert banquet for Regina-Qu’Appelle Health Region Employees. Although I wish I could take […]

50 Years of #yqr Copper Kettle Restaurant

The Copper Kettle is a local institution and I’m proud that one of the times I called over to order pizza for a meeting at the library, I ended up having Mr. Gardikiotis take my order personally. When he heard I was with the library, he replied “Oh, the library! I love the library! You did […]
