Mosaic is a long-standing multicultural festival in Regina which is an highlight for many in the city. For $14 (the current price though I remember when it cost half that! </oldman>), you get a passport that allows you entry into numerous pavilions located in curling rinks and community halls around the city (plus free bus […]

Random Thoughts From WILU Day One
I’m at the Workshop for Instruction in Library Use (WILU) conference in Regina from today until Friday. Here are a few random thoughts from my first day… – it’s always enjoyable to attend a conference in a different city – staying in a hotel, eating meals in cool restaurants, checking out the attractions of a […]
Music Monday – “With enough training, your fingers are almost as good as a wrench. Hurts though…”
Behold the wonder that is former Fred Eaglesmith sideman, Washboard Hank…
Music Monday – “Your smile is like a breath of spring/Your voice is like summer rain/And I cannot compete with you/Jolene” (Bonus: Incomplete List of Bands I’ve Seen Live)
Dolly Parton was the voice in a movie we watched this weekend (Gnomeo & Juliet – very cute!) and that somehow led to me thinking about the various concerts I’ve seen in my life (Dolly being one of the Top Five believe it or not!) Off the top of my head, here’s a very incomplete […]
Saturday Snap – Happy Fourth Birthday, Pace!
Although I’m not as obsessive as those folks who take a picture-a-day of themselves or their babies, I have tried to take a photo of Pace every few months and now every year. I didn’t plan it this way initially but now always include an Oscar the Grouch doll we bought him when he was […]

The Jokes Just Write Themselves… (NSFW)
“The closest the Sharks will get to any cup.” “The best twins at the game tonight.” “Two for cross-checking.” “Gives new meaning to ‘Sin Bin’” (via Reddit)
Music Monday – “Just take a look at these crow’s feet/Just look/Sitting on the prettiest eyes”
We got back from our trip to Calgary last night but after unpacking and doing a few things around the house, I didn’t get around to posting. But I’ve decide to backdate this post on Tuesday to yesterday so I can do a Music Monday post as it connects pretty directly to our trip. We’d […]
Music Monday – “I used to come here when I was six/When everything hurt and I felt sick/There is something about the colder air/That made me feel better than anywhere”
We’re off to Calgary from Wednesday until early next week so it may be another blog holiday depending on how busy we are and what my Internet access is like at our various ports of call. In the meantime, here’s a song from one of my favourite artists I discovered when we lived in Cowtown. […]
