Unfortunately, I Know I’d Be Easier To Catch Than The Road Runner!

I make the occasional run out to Indian Head and around the Qu’Appelle Valley and after my parents won a few free oil changes at the local car dealership and offered me one, I had an excuse for another road trip yesterday after I got the kids off to school. The free oil change turned […]

Saturday Snap – Building A Playground Is Building A Community

With our respective schedules, Shea and I end up with one Friday off together each month. Yesterday, we did some errands in the morning then went over to our kids’ school where, after years of fundraising by the Student Community Council, they were finally about to build a new playground structure with the help of […]

Music Monday – “She said, “Andy, you’re better than your past”/Winked at me and drained her glass/Cross-legged on a barstool, like nobody sits anymore”

“Elephant” – Jason Isbell (This reaction video where a couple commentators slowly realize what the song’s about is a pretty good supplement to what some feel is the best song of 2013.)

As we begin the sad process of closing up our seasonal site for another year, it feels like a good time to do a list of the reasons Shea and I enjoy camping so much: We both camped lots with our own parents growing up so we know how it can create amazing memories for […]

We live in a pretty amazing world where I can use some of the world’s most advanced technology – the Internet, YouTube, wifi – to watch a video clip about one of the world’s most primitive societies.

RIP Barb Janicek (1975-2019)

One of the bad things about having a recurring “Friday Fun Link” theme post is that things often happen at the end of the week that leave me feeling in a less than fun mood. The Humboldt Broncos bus crash happened on a Friday, the Colten Boushie verdict came in on a Friday, more mass […]

Ten Things I’m Thinking About Lately

Hand dryers and noise pollution (especially in libraries) How we’re always saying goodbye to people we love without realising it.

Saturday Snap – This Is The Picture My Wife Sends Me While I’m Being #SaturdayLibrarian

The rest of the family gets a trip to the museum and ice cream; I get to talk to people about chemtrails, flat earth theories, and how Disney hides secret messages in their movies, all while being #SaturdayLibrarian. 😉
