Wisdom Wednesday – Three Sentences To Disrupt Any Conflict
In 2-3 Years, AI Will Mean There Is Basically No Way To Tell What Is Real and What Is Not
This is a huge problem. (I think I’m fairly tech savvy but I’m already having situations where my kids are saying “Dad – that’s AI!” They’re more skeptical but will they get sucked in too as it ges better and better?)
Saturday Snap – Getting Fancy For Shea’s Christmas Party
Pretty amazing that one of the doctors that Shea works with picked up the entire tab for a Christmas party, both for the staff at his clinic plus the unit he works with the most at the hospital.
And he didn’t cheap out – appetizers, full buffet meal, photo booth, games, DJ and dancing. It was a cash bar but there was even a spiked punch bowl that people could help themselves to!
And, as always, one of the best parts is hearing how much people love the library when they hear where I work! (We were behind another doctor in the food line and she was gushing “Oh, we LOVE the library! My kids were there all the time. We’re very much a book family, not a sports family!”
“Wow – which branch was your home branch?” I asked.
“Oh, that was in Ottawa!” she replied. 😉
One of the hardworking healthcare workers in this picture even worked briefly at RPL a few years ago – for any coworkers reading this, can you spot who it is?

Music Monday – “I will come back here, bring me back when I’m old/I want to lay here forever in the cold I might be cold but I’m just skin and bones/And I’ll never love England more than when covered in snow”
One of the single saddest moments of my life was leaving England a couple days before Christmas after a four-month college exchange.
I still consider the single most joyful stretch of my entire life – the people, the sights, the experiences – just pure living in the moment and openness to the world that greatly influenced me and probably, in some ways, is a level of happiness I’ve been trying to recapture my entire life.
