I briefly thought of backdating a bunch of photo posts, one for every day of our recent camping holiday but realised that’d be a lot of work (not to mention more evidence of my self-diagnosed OCD regarding my “must post daily” goal.) Anyhow, I thought I’d post just a few highlights in a single post […]

Music Monday – “Time stand still/I’m not looking back/But I want to look around me now”

I’ve been into my branch a handful of times since it shut down three months ago. But as RPL has begun slowly reopening over the past couple weeks, today was my first day back in branch doing more traditional library work.  This is because we’ve started having mid-sized and smaller branches in the RPL system […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our First Dine-In Restaurant Meal in Three Months! (March 2020-June 2020)

Usually my “Throwback Thursday” posts go at least a few years back. But this one has me thinking of the past three months – from our last dine-in meal at the Houston Pizza near our house on Friday March 13 after we picked up the kids from what would be their last day of school […]

Doing a lot of work in our new seasonal campsite (we were granted a move from a smaller site we were in other years to a bigger, better one) to make it relaxing and peaceful…

Thinking About That One Time A Cop Threatened To Beat Up Me and My Friends in High School

It’s obviously *very* different for myself as a middle-class white kid who grew up in a small town on the Canadian prairies compared to what’s happening to black people of all ages over and over again in cities across the US. But I had one particular experience in high school that showed me how easy […]
