Still one of my best “Creating Memories” dad moments. When he was little, Pace was massively into Batman. So I went out to Spirit of Halloween the night before Halloween and bought a Robin costume which I wore to work then messaged Shea to send Pace out to the street in costume when I got […]
I can’t remember for sure but think this Blue Jays game was the first and only Blue Jays game I’ve attended in my life? Or did I see an exhibition game in Regina once? Hmm, 1989 so that feels very possible. At any rate, this game was during a break in my Masters program. My […]
Though this recent clip only popped up on my Facebook feed the other day, it did remind me of my time in Alberta (2001-2004) when I worked with the Writers Guild of Alberta where part of my work included helping jointly plan the annual Alberta Book Awards with the Book Publishers Association of Alberta.

Let’s go *way* back to my very first blog post back in February 2006, nearly two months into my MLIS program and thinking “What can I possibly take up as a hobby that will help me procrastinate with assignments *and* be something I’m still doing twenty years later?!?”
Instead of just posting a random picture from the past, I thought I’d try something new and post a link to a long ago article to take advantage of the fact that I have kept this blog going for nearly twenty years (!) which means its going to qualify for a pension soon! And what […]
