It's like looking into the future…
2009 is apparently the 250th birthday of Robbie Burns, a fact I only discovered while searching for clips from one of my favourite Saskatchewan singer-songwriters, Eileen Laverty. I'm way past Robbie Burns Day but I'll still post it here…such a beautiful song…three days in a row with content to bring a tear to your eye!
On the long weekend, we made a loop hitting Fort Qu'Appelle (a resort community an hour outside Regina), Katepwa Beach, our family cottage on the other side of the lake, our farm, Indian Head where I grew up then down to Weyburn to spend the night with Shea's folks at their camp site. Here's one […]
Time to break out the long-neglected “CLA Conference” tag. Just got word today that I was approved to go to this year's CLA conference in Montreal at the end of May! I'm especially happy about this because I'd had a feeler extended to see if I'd be coming to the conference and available to sit […]
Although I have to admit that I didn't take nearly as many as I normally would – both because I often find that having a lens to your eye all the time removes you from the experience and also because, frankly, you can go to Flickr and find photos of anything we visited – the […]

After a couple *really* close calls on the way down – both in Regina (long security line-up) and Calgary (half-hour delay leaving Regina due to aforementioned long security lines meant we had half an hour to sprint through Calgary airport, clear customs, find […]
So, on somewhat short notice, Shea and I have decided to head for Sin City (except that we'll have Pace in tow so “sin” will be restricted to too much sugar and staying up later than 8pm.) How this came about is that my parents called last weekend that they'd won a free flight to […]
…I bumped into my Director and Deputy Director at the Ottawa Airport and was like “So, you're on the 6:45pm flight too?” “No, 7pm” was the reply.
