Music Monday – “Ah, home, let me come home/Home is wherever I’m with you”

I think I’ve probably posted this old viral video before but as we prep to move into our new house, it felt appropriate for a few reasons – the title “Home” obviously but also for how it reminds me of Sasha who’s increasingly into music and has taken to making up her own songs to […]

Friday Fun Link – So…What’d You Do Today?

Nothing much, just bought a house! 😉 (Er, obviously this is a story months and really, years, in the making but I’m sure I’ll get to the full story soon. For now, I’m heading to bed after a *very* long day!)

RIP John Mann (1964-2019)

It was a long, inevitable farewell. After announcing his Early Onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2014, John Mann, lead singer and frontman of the seminal 90’s Canadiana band, Spirit of the West, embarked on a farewell tour with the band in 2014. Shea and I got to see this show and it reminded me of why, […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – New Couches (March 2010)

Shea and I still have the cheap couches we bought at The Brick nearly a decade ago. They’re now ripped, stained and worn so we decided to take advantage of the Retirement Sale at local furniture institution, Alford’s, to buy some new furniture. It won’t arrive until early December and we’re excited to (finally) get […]

Saturday Snap – A Strange (and Strangely Exciting?) Raffle Prize at @officialRPL Staff Day

I was a bit surprised to see what I thought was some sort of sex lotion in one of the raffle baskets I ended up winning at the RPL Staff Development Day yesterday. Fortunately (?), my reading comprehension isn’t so great for a librarian and my wife seemed a bit too relieved to inform me […]

Ten Things I’m Thankful For This Thanksgiving

Nothing too surprising on this list but here you go… 1. Although my mother-in-law battled a serious form of cancer for most of last year, she’s doing much better and, knock on wood, everyone else in our immediate family is doing well healthwise from Sasha who’s six years old to my dad who’s seventy years […]

Weeding As a Life Philosophy

Shea and I got around to a *long* overdue task of decluttering our garage this weekend. Strangely, it reminded me of when I was in my first librarian job and (purposely?) my boss assigned me a major weeding project. They just kept bringing me packed cart after overloaded cart of books and I had to […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – No More House (July 2018)

We only went once before, for my birthday last year, but were sad to show up at a local restaurant called the Neighbourhood Pour House yesterday to find the doors locked. Shea did some digging when we got home and found an announcement that they’d closed their doors very recently but their flagship restaurant, Jack […]
