Music Monday – “Started from the bottom, now we’re here/Started from the bottom, now my whole team fuckin’ here”

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. “Started From The Bottom” – Drake

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) […]

Throwback Thursday – The Name Tag Makes It Official? (June 2006)

Thanksgiving Closing Hours for Canadian Public Libraries

A few years back, I did a post where I researched the closing times for various Canadian libraries on Christmas Eve day. Of course Christmas Eve is not an “official” stat holiday but it’s still a day that many workplaces (not just libraries) recognize as a slow time and/or a good time to close early […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – My Only Ontario Vote (November 2006) #ElectionDay #OntarioVotes2018 #onpooli

With the Ontario provincial election happening today, I’m reminded of the time I unexpectedly got to vote in that province. It was while I was at Western completing my Master’s of Library Science degree and it happened during a federal byelection in London North-Centre which featured Elizabeth May parachuting in to try to win the […]

Friday Fun Link – Six Generations in One Picture

I think our family on my paternal grandmother’s side had five generations alive at one point but I can’t imagine six generations on the planet at one time (or even seven which the article says is the world record but with no photographic proof!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – On National Caesar Day, Is This The Best Wedding Ever? (Summer 2017, Somewhere in Ontario)

Like most good Canadians, I enjoy a good caesar. And since it’s National Caesar Day, I’m going to break from Throwback Thursday tradition and instead of posting one of my own pictures of me drinking a caesar or making a caesar or looking lovingly at a caesar on a restaurant table, I wanted to post an awesome […]
