Hillary’s Killing It

Results are still coming in but right now, Hillary Clinton is declared in 3 out of 5 “Super Tuesday III” states and leading in two others. It’s not over yet but if this holds, it’s hard to say how Bernie has any path to the nomination and goes forward from here it becomes much more of […]

Saturday Snap – Happy Anniversary to Me!

I had to work this weekend so Shea took the kids to spend a couple days enjoying the beautiful +13 weather at her parents’ house in Weyburn. I can’t decide if getting to go to the Bushwakkers for supper tonight (which we rarely get to since it’s a pub with a “no kids allowed” policy) […]

FTRW 2016 – Day Five – Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My #FTRW Interview on “Book Chick” Radio Show, CJTR, #yqr (Feb 2007)

I posted when this interview was being aired live for those wanting to tune in but I’ve never posted the archival copy of this interview as far as I can remember. It was a really fun interview with one of my former Sask Publishers Group colleagues and I got say “nut sack” on the radio – […]

Music Monday – “Spread your tiny wings and fly away/And take the snow back with you/Where it came from on that day/The one I love forever is untrue/And if I could you know that I would/Fly away with you”

It’s weird the things you remember from your childhood. I’ve already written about a grade two teacher I had who was the nicest teacher I ever had (which makes it even more surprising and sad that she committed suicide later in life after she’d retired.) I have no idea if teachers in other communities did […]

Saturday Snap – February in Saskatchewan?

Lots of rain and zero snow in the parking lot at work (and yes, I do work across the street from a Source Adult Video store!) 🙂  

Saturday Snap – January in Saskatchewan

“Every Parent’s Worst Nightmare” – School Shooting in La Loche

Definitely not a “Friday Fun Link” day today with news of a shocking shooting at a school in northern Saskatchewan which killed four people (not five as many early reports stated) with others injured. Here are some random thoughts… Reading online comments, many right wing Americans are calling out Obama for saying “This doesn’t happen […]

Secular Sunday – Moose Jaw Mother Wants To Remove “Lord’s Prayer” From Public School

It blows my mind that a vast majority of parents apparently voted that playing the Lord’s Prayer in school was okay in the first place. But I guess the vast majority once voted that black students shouldn’t mix with white students either and that injustice eventually got corrected as well.

Saskatchewan Arbitrator Rules Healthcare Workers Don’t Need To Wear Full Name on ID Tags

A recent Saskatchewan arbitration decision which found that it’s a violation of workers’ rights to be safe and free of harassment to be required to wear name tags with their full name is timely given a couple recent events… First, in my end of year mega-post, I mentioned in Question #31 about “My Personal Fashion Sense” that RPL […]

Merry Christmas!

One of the best Christmases I can remember – great gifts, great food, great moments, great family plus in two days, we’re off to Cuba! Enjoying Christmas supper… Sasha got cool sunglasses for the beach and a new hoodie from Grandpa and Grandma… She also loved her princess dress-up outfit…   Pace had a parkour […]
