Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Hippie Hippie Hooray (September 2016)

This isn’t from too long ago – about a year ago – but I was thinking about some of my favourite memories from my time as a Branch Head at Regent Place branch and this is one that jumped to mind – we had a “Retro Anniversary” party for the branch last fall to celebrate 50 years of serving the citizens of Regina.

Everyone got into the spirit including many of my staff who wore retro costumes and which made for a great photo against the library’s green screen!

Trump Loves NASCAR

Music Monday – “I been crying out, “How bad can a good time be?”/Shooting off my mouth, that’s another great thing about me/I have everything but I feel like nothing at all/There’s no risky thing for a man who’s determined to fall”

I’m never sure from day to day if I’m a fan of U2 or not.

But I do know I’ve always been a sucker for a creative music video…

You’re The Best Thing About Me” – U2

Friday Fun Link – The Definitive Ranking of Every Tragically Hip Song

Lots to argue with here but points for even trying to make this list (the author strikes on an interesting conceit to make it work, grouping songs thematically to count them down.)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Skunk Cabbage Boardwalk (June 2010)

Sounds like an appealing hiking spot…

 

Happy 80th Birthday Aunt Joan!

I had the honour of attending the 80th birthday of my Aunt Joan with various other family members at The Keg last night.

Aunt Joan is the fifth of my dad’s family of ten siblings to reach this milestone (unfortunately, the sibling who would be next in line to reach this milestone passed away last year so that ends an otherwise pretty remarkable longevity record for the family – though my Aunt Verna did reach 77 so that’s pretty amazing too!)

But here’s hoping to continued good health for all remaining nine siblings and that those who reached 80 will eventually reach 90+ (as my Grandma did!) and those that haven’t yet reached 80 will all make it to that milestone and beyond as well!

Pace made a punny card for his “great” aunt…

 

The birthday girl got two kinds of cake…

 

Sasha seems to be saying “I know you’re going to have your first baby soon but I just want to warn you that the baby will eventually turn into a four year old like me!” 😉

 

Redditor Tracks White House Chief of Staff Face Palm To the Exact Moment Trump Goes Off Script

Any shot of a person rubbing their forehead could be taken out of context.

But when it’s a photo of the White House Chief of Staff face palming with his watch clearly visible (ENHANCE!) while the President is going off script threatening to annihilate North Korea, you know the Internet’s going to be on the job.
