Pace appears well positioned for a career making hip hop videos…
Hard to believe that March 11 is the one year anniversary of the WHO declaring Covid-19 a worldwide pandemic. I thought it was perfect that it fell on a Throwback Thursday as I was sure I’d likely have a lot of appropriate photos from that momentous day a year ago that I could post. But […]
We’re into the same month as when Covid became real and the world shut-down mid-month so I’ll likely be posting a few different retrospective posts, whether it’s “Throwback Thursday” or not over the next few weeks. For example, here’s all my tweets from March 2020. I loved this tweet (but not that I managed a […]
Through my work with the Writers Guild of Alberta, I became involved with the Calgary Freedom to Read Week Committee. I can’t find it online now but my memory is that this committee of writers, librarians, publishers and social activists was formed after some MLA held up some book in the Alberta Legislature to denounce […]
One great thing about our year in Ontario for library school was we tried to get away as much as we could on weekends and during semester breaks to various destinations in the area.

When I was in high school and later, in university, the neighbours across the street hosted a Boxing Day road hockey tournament every year. This was followed by an airing of the latest Don Cherry “Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em” VHS tape that one of their two boys got from Christmas, finger foods, basement beers and […]
Four years ago this week, we were on our way to a ski trip in Manitoba. It was hard to know what the next four years would bring but we listened to Trump’s “American Carnage” Inaugural Address on the drive up and that provided a big clue. Such a relief that he’s gone.
The abbreviated, Covid-impacted 2021 NHL season began yesterday but it really begins tonight as my Calgary Flames begin their season with rematch of the NHL Heritage Classic that was held in Regina just over a year ago (or about a decade ago by Covid time!)
