I posted this picture on our third anniversary back in 2006 but see that the link to the graphic’s ended up broken during one of my blog moves. So here’s the image once again – my favourite wedding picture (well, not counting the more spontaneous one of Shea running out of the water just as a […]
Expect minimal blogging for the next week or so as we’re on a family holiday…
Just looked back through my previous posts on February 6 of 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. I may have mentioned it in passing in one of those entries or done something on a different nearby date. But apparently I’ve never once written about the fact that February 6 is Shea’s and my […]
SaskTel was out to Regent Place a couple weeks ago to shoot a storytime for their video magazine. This edition’s topic was “Snow” and they used footage of their host at one of our storytimes to introduce a few other segments shot in different locations such as the Saskatoon Zoo. The clips aren’t online yet […]
Quora has a great question about the best software mis-uses that people have seen. Because my family members read this blog, I won’t mention some that I’ve seen personally (ahem, Googling for a common web site instead of just typing it in the URL bar. You know who you are!) but I will highlight a […]
I recently bought Pace the Lego “Creationary” game. Basically, this is Pictionary but instead of drawing different things, you try to build them with the various Lego pieces that are included with the game. I have to admit I was a bit surprised by one of the game cards (although Shea and I did have […]
About to return to school tomorrow (and still awake when he should be sleeping), I’ve asked Pace to be a guest blogger tonight and tell me some of his favourite memories from his Christmas holidays… Seeing the *real* Santa for the third time in his life! Santa was in the neighbourhood checking if kids were […]
Sasha loved crawling around the library when Shea, Pace and her came to see the magician that was appearing on Friday afternoon. The children’s area is fun, mostly because it has things that look like cords that you can actually play with (unlike the real cords at home which always get a frantic response […]
I haven’t blogged for a few days as I got overwhelmed and busy with that “real life” thing as Shea’s folks and mine joined us from the 27th until the 29th to have a belated Christmas together. Here are a few numbers from the past week… 0 – number of times I’ve left the house […]
Only partly tongue-in-cheek, I often think that the best Christmas I ever had was when we were living in Calgary and Shea had to work on a 7am to 3pm shift on Christmas Day, leaving me all alone for the day. It sounds sad but it turned out to be a wonderful, relaxing, enjoyable day. […]
