10 Thoughts From The @sask_ndp #yqr Coronation Park Nomination Meeting #skpoli

Shea and I went to the Sask NDP’s Coronation Park Nomination Meeting tonight and it was wilder than we ever expected – over 400 rowdy people crammed into Thom Collegiate’s auditorium to hear from three candidates – April Bourgeois, Noor Burki, and Chris Gust – and choose the person who will represent our home constituency […]

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???

Pretty proud to be a board member for this organization and if we’re thinking of fun, one of the most enjoyable parts of the job is having the opportunity to have a say in which manuscripts become published books!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #8 – Smalltown Saskatchewan

After running Grandpa and Grandma out to Indian Head after they returned from a month in Australia/New Zealand, Sasha and I decided to have a little adventure of our own by taking the scenic route home.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #7 – Not-For-Profit Cultural Sector

Like a lot of people who convocate with a Bachelor’s degree, the biggest question is “Now what?” In 1996, I had an expensive English degree, a specialization in creative writing, and not a lot of other options.

This song is usually interpreted as being about acid rain but on the day Saskatchewan (and three other provinces) has a federal carbon tax enacted, I thought it was appropriate… “Fall On Me” – R.E.M.
