I know this song isn’t technically about the Raptors but since it’s written by their biggest celebrity fan and the lyrics (sorta) fit, I thought I’d post it.

How The Raptors Became An Elite Team Using Only Non-Lottery Players
Heading into the big game tomorrow where the Toronto Raptors could clinch their first NBA championship, I found a video that might be helpful to all the new bandwagon fans (er, guilty – though I was a pretty massive NBA fan back in the Michael Jordan/Isiah Thomas/Magic Johnson era of the late 1980’s/early 1990’s) familiarize themselves with how the team got here.
And how cool is it that the province that’s home to the biggest T-Rex skeleton in the world is hosting the biggest version of the Raptor’s cross-Canada watch party, “Jurassic Park” tomorrow night?
Saturday Snap – Community Presentation
A few months ago, one of the regulars at my branch asked me to speak to a retirees’ group she belongs to about the library and all it has to offer.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Farewell Aunt Sandi! (May 2008)
For the past few weeks, we’ve had another good visit with my Aunt Sandi who comes out from BC every spring to spend time with us.

The Craziest Edit in Beatles History
I’ve got a mini-Beatles/music theme going on the past couple days (so much so that when I looked at my post about the Mi’kmaq version of “Blackbird” yesterday, I thought it *was* my Music Monday post and I’d somehow missed posting on Tuesday!)
Anyhow, to keep the theme going, here’s a YouTube video about one of the most amazing combinations of the Beatles’ musical and technological genius coming together in a single edit within one of their greatest songs.
Music Monday – “And your hollows on like a frozen freight train/You know that I help you if I can/But I’m just a raindrop in a river/Just a little itty-bitty grain of sand”

Saturday Snap – The Best Part of Camping Without Daddy?
Shea and Sasha went out to our seasonal site this weekend while I stayed in the city to work and Pace stuck around to play video games visit his Aunt Sandi who is visiting from Kelowna.
Shea sent me this picture and said Sasha told her it was the best camping ever because “daddy isn’t here to steal my bacon!” 🙂
