Music Monday – “All the flowers that you planted mama/In the back yard/All died when you went away”

This song has always been incredibly powerful from when it became a worldwide smash in 1990 but it might even be more powerful to hear it now, nearly thirty years later, after Sinead O’Connor has led a life full of controversy and pain.   “Nothing Compares 2 U” – Sinead O’Connor

Music Monday – “Now in the pouring snow, sad, but swift/I headed down the highway/Hoping that the burden of my blues would lift/And praying that the whiskey would keep me brave”

Easily my favourite song of the year (I can’t believe I haven’t posted it before!) “Letter to Madeline” – Ian Noe

A Taste of What The Public Library in a Village of 255 People Has To Offer…

Man, do I love small town libraries! And always great to see the amazing things happening across the regional system where I first worked after completing my MLIS 13 (!) years ago.  Southeast Regional Library has a slogan “Not The Library You Remember” and though I think it’s mostly aimed at people who only remember […]

Friday Fun Link – How The Fuck Does Fuckin Shit Work? History of Science Rap

This video is at ~5000 views as I type this.  Will be interesting to see if it goes viral and jumps a lot higher as it appears designed to do just that…

Music Monday – “A civil war vet went to see/If he could get a bit of timber for a new barn/The number 4 sped/From the train overhead came the itty bitty newborn”

Secular Sunday – Atheist Summer Camp

As summer comes to an end, I thought this video was appropriate for a Secular Sunday post (and yes, it’s a Christian making fun of atheists for a change!) The gist of the guy’s bit is what kids would learn at an Atheist Summer Camp and the irony is that Shea and I frequently lament […]

Saturday Snap – Otter ‘n’ Daughter

One of many highlights of the Calgary Zoo was watching Sasha interact with one particularly playful otter in the “Canadian Wild” area.

Banff Gondola and Sulphur Mountain Summit

It’s hard to pick a favourite part of our quick trip to Calgary – seeing the pandas at the Calgary Zoo (though gorillas and hippos will always be my favourites), driving past so many of our old haunts (even tried to buzz a neighbour whose name is still on the board at our former condo […]
