Throwback Thursday – #tbt – BA – English

Often when I’m out at the University of Regina, I’ll wander the halls of the ol’ alma mater to see what’s changed and what’s stayed the same. In a very “Dead Poet’s Society” moment, I came across my photo on the wall during a visit a few years back. Look at that young whippersnapper, all […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – A Most Canadian Library Sign (July 9, 2008)

When I worked for a regional library system, many of our libraries were located in unusual locations – many co-located with a town office, a school that had been closed, a fire hall, a laundry mat. And of course we had one that was in a hockey rink – whose main doors became the entrance […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Calgary Fire Department

The Calgary Flames have been using a Calgary Fire Department helmet for players to pick the “unsung hero of the game” after each victory for the past couple seasons. I don’t have a picture of Pace wearing a CFD helmet but I do have a pic of him checking out a fire truck courtesy of my […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Sasha’s Second Birthday

Hard to believe our little girl is two years old today! Here’s a video I made of the (roughly) daily photos I took of her during her first year, something I’ve continued to do although a lot more sporadically in her second year. Mobile friendly version…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Before Target, There Was Zellers (September 2009)

Target is now closed for good in Regina after teaching a lesson in how not to run a business. (I still remember reading an interview with some Target big wig right before they opened who said something like: “Oh, we don’t intend to have lower prices than our competition. We’ll price to match the market.”) Even if […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our Tropical Vacation History

Some people go every year, some people go whenever they can afford it, and some people will never go to one, thinking they’re fake, inauthentic holidays. Shea and I are in that middle category – though we don’t go every year [edit: I lied – as of January 2020, we’ve been five years in a […]
