It’s weird being a blogger sometimes because it affects how you think about things (there are theories that social media sites like Facebook have the same effect where you can’t just enjoy experiences because you’re always thinking how to spin them/frame them/present them to your online audience.) With that in mind, I’ll admit that I […]
Happy to be at the lake and looking forward to her first boat ride!
I honestly don’t know what else I can write about the big Paul McCartney concert tonight in Regina. Yes, it’s only one former Beatle but for me, this is not just a Paul McCartney show (which would be fine in and of itself) but this is also the closest I’ll ever get to a Beatles […]

So I was flitting around YouTube this weekend and came across this video of a member statement made by Carrot River MLA, Fred Bradshaw in the Saskatchewan Legislature and which was uploaded a couple months ago on April 17, 2013. Although they don’t specify who the “prominent NDP blogger” in question is (and out of […]
Went to TEDxRegina yesterday and honestly, my thoughts on the afternoon, with a couple exceptions, are pretty much the same as my thoughts on the inaugural one in 2012.
