Man, do I love small town libraries! And always great to see the amazing things happening across the regional system where I first worked after completing my MLIS 13 (!) years ago. Southeast Regional Library has a slogan “Not The Library You Remember” and though I think it’s mostly aimed at people who only remember […]
When we were at Echo a few years back, we met, befriended and hung out with (and got hungover with!) a few other young couples. (I know “young” is relative for me these days but Shea’s a lot younger than me so I follow her lead on that!) When we got our seasonal site at […]
I used this song as part of a longer end-of-season montage after our first summer seasonal site three years ago but it deserves a post of its own. (Make sure you read the story about the singer from the Ovarian Cancer “Walk of Hope” page below – very tragic story for such a joyful song.) “Living […]
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 […]

It seems like one of the highest priorities for any conservative government is targeting the funding of public libraries – in Newfoundland (May 2016), in Saskatchewan (March 2017), in Ontario (April 2019), and now in Alberta (August 2019 (although to be fair, Jason Kenney’s Conservatives haven’t cut yet but are withholding 50% in advance of […]
Hard to believe we’ve had our 2012 rPod for five years now having bought it used during summer 2014. Through the first couple years of pulling it around the province, one year in a provincial seasonal site and the last couple in a regional park, I continue to feel like we made an awesome decision […]
It’s weird how time can sometimes seem so slow (when you’re lazing through most days with some tunes, a good book and tasty beers) and at the same time, so fast (when you have a two week holiday that feels like it only lasted two days.) We had a great two weeks camping with lots […]
