I joined the board of Coteau Books in early 2012 but this photo of the board is from January 2016. Coteau entered bankruptcy earlier this year so this is from happier times and what happy times they were. During my many years on the Coteau board, I met such a wide range of great people […]
It’s hard to believe (er, pun intended) this video doesn’t have more than a few hundred views considering the insight this guy provides into Biblical history, the impact of the “cornea” virus, and the fact at Covid is nothing and the real fun will begin when the prophecies of Revelations begin to come true! (I’m […]
This had been a shitty year for me, even before the COVID pandemic hit. Coteau Books, which was a long-standing literary press in Canada for nearly half a century, and which I’d served on the board of directors of for nearly a decade, entered bankruptcy protection in late February. I’ll likely do a longer post […]
This was the wrap-up for a major region-wide literacy program called “Time To Read” (with a slogan “Reader Pride”, a pun on Saskatchewan’s well-known “Rider Pride”) that I was involved with in my first job after I graduated from library school. It’s crazy to think how much in this photo is now being impacted by […]
I’ll likely do a longer post with some thoughts on how libraries across North America have reacted to the COVID crisis at some point and also some personal thoughts on how/when they should reopen. But now that a few provinces have begun to include public libraries in their reopening plans (I’m looking at you, Saskatchewan!), […]
One of Pace’s virtual school assignments was to recreate a famous painting. Shea suggested one of the most famous paintings of all-time “Dogs Playing Poker” and I think the results were quite good…
A few people we’ve told about our experience going for a COVID test said they appreciated having some information about what the process was like. So we thought it might be worth posting for anyone else who is curious or ends up having to go for a test themselves. Now, because Shea works in healthcare […]
Premier Scott Moe had a press conference tonight to announce that…he will be having a press conference tomorrow night to talk about how his government has a five point plan for reopening the province now that we’ve flattened the curve…maybe. There’s no doubt that Saskatchewan has done very well during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to […]
Perhaps like no other profession on earth, librarians are dedicated to providing others with factual, accurate information across an incredibly broad range of subjects (if you’re a Dewey fan, you might think of it as us covering from 000 to 999 – basically the full range of human knowledge!) So one of the toughest things […]
When Sasha was decorating her birthday cake, I’m sure it was just an unfortunate oversight that she had enough letters to write “Unicorn” but not enough to write “Daddy”! 😉
