Happy (Third) Anniversary (of the Year), Shea!

Sure, we have three anniversaries but today happens to be one of them so I thought I’d mention it! 🙂 For those who don’t know how we ended with *three* wedding anniversaries, here’s the story… First off, due to the red tape and expense of a legal destination wedding at the time, we chose to […]

Weyburn, Sask Driving Tour

Not sure if I’d call it “best city to live” as this video claims but it’s where I spend most of my summer (well, at a nearby lake with occasional trips into town for groceries, booze and camping supplies) but it’s where my parents got married, my wife graduated high school, and my in-laws currently […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Echo Lake Summer (Summer 2017)

A video I cut of the many highlights of the first year we had a seasonal camp site at Echo Lake Provincial Park. A year of Covid really makes you appreciate all these little moments – having various family and friends to our campsite, shared meals, laughs around the campfire, sleepovers, meeting random strangers.

RIP Mick Burrs (Steven Michael Berzensky) 1940-2021

PICTURES OF THE DEAD (from “Dark Halo”) The dead leave us only images of themselves: souvenirs in washed out colours, dried petals pressed in family albums, shadows that stain our papered walls. They abandon us in our rooms, teach us how to converse with dust, will not let us forget them. But in our glistening reeds […]

Some Quick Thoughts On The Stabbing at Lynn Valley Public Library in North Vancouver

Shea and I often talk about how strange it is that librarians are one of the few professions where practitioners actively visit local examples of their workplace in other communities when traveling (she doesn’t have a strong desire to visit hospitals in other places when on a holiday – that’s for sure!). I think there’s […]

$39 Million Bora Bora Private Island

Don’t think I’ll ever afford this but perhaps they need an on-site librarian? 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Montreal Picnic (June 2006)

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. Probably our biggest trip was during a semester break when we took the train to Montreal. A highlight was throwing together […]
