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 […]

Saturday Snap – An(other) August Long Weekend Wedding
Ten years ago this weekend, Shea and I gathered in her hometown of Creelman with ~150 friends and family to celebrate our marriage. Her Maid of Honour was her lifelong friend, Janelle. How fitting then that Shea was a bridesmaid this weekend for Janelle, who married her longtime partner Ben at the scenic Sherwood Forest […]
Saturday Snap – Nickle Lake Hail Storm
Spent the weekend at Shea’s parents’ seasonal camp site at Nickle Lake. Had a bit of an adventure as there were tornado warnings on Saturday afternoon. (When Pace was a baby and we found ourselves in similar circumstances, we headed for town. I often joke about “Second Baby Syndrome” and Sasha suffered it here as […]
It’s A Small World (Or At Least A Small Province)
So after yesterday’s post, I got a comment from a friend that he was related to the Peets who are from the same area as my mom’s family (Mom’s maiden name is Peet). After a few messages back and forth, we determined that the connection was that my mom’s cousin was married to his stepfather’s […]
“One Prominent NDP Blogger Recently Wrote…”
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 […]
Random Thoughts on 2013 #tedxregina #yqr (and My Hypothetical TED Talk Topics)
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. Perhaps because I usually cherry-pick the best TEDTalks when watching online, both years I’ve gone in expecting all TEDx talks will be stellar too. But honestly, […]
One Memorable Moment From Each Year I Was In School
Went with Pace while he rode his new birthday bike over to a playground near our house. Along the way, we passed the house of one of his kindergarten classmates who was playing in her front yard and then, at the playground, another classmate happened to be there playing as well. As I sat on […]
Getting Excited for @TEDxRegina #yqr
Went to TEDxRegina last year and am excited to be going again this year. Plus, unlike last year when I went on my own time, this year my employer is funding me plus a few other colleagues to attend. Yay! That is *exactly* what I was saying last year about how libraries need to ensure […]
