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. (h/t to JB on FB) How come Photos on my Macbook stopped showing recently uploaded photos a month ago even though I can see all my latest photos when I log in to Photos through […]

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. 😉

Kevin Durant on Hot Ones

Lots of controversy about people cheering with Kevin Durant got re-injured during the Raptors game on Monday night. I have to be honest – my initial instinct was to cheer too, for a whole host of reasons: Since he’s one of the Warriors best players and a former two-time playoff MVP, I knew Durant being […]

Bowling Birthday

Her actual birthday is on Tuesday but we had great fun at Sasha’s “bowling birthday” today. (And as an aside, as someone who dabbles in creative writing, I love studying the ebbs and flows in the popularity of names from generation to generation.)

Saturday Snap – “Go Outside to Play and Don’t Come Home Until Supper!”

We didn’t actually tell her that but Sasha’s been doing it old school today – being outside between our yard and the neighbours’ playing with their kids all day. This is a pic I took over the fence. I wonder if they’re making plans for havoc during Sasha’s birthday party tomorrow???

Music Monday – “There’s the progress we have found (when the rain)/A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)/Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)/Isn’t anything at all (melt the statues in the park)/Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky”
