In my first librarian job, my boss and I had the opportunity to oversee the move of a crowded small town library into a soon-to-be-vacated nearby church. This photo was during our first visit to the church to see if it would be a workable space once all the pews and other church holdings were […]
Someone posted this on social media and I thought it’d be good for a bit of a different take on my usual Throwback Thursday personal photos…
Here’s a pic from this past summer of my folks in front of the United Church they got married at forty-seven years ago!
This song is probably my current favourite on Colter Wall’s new album and I also like that the clip I’m posting features Brad Wall’s son joking about smoking a big joint. 😉 I wont’t be blazing any icky…sticky, dank or otherwise. But thanks for thinking of me…..bud. https://t.co/lDkWL2rMeT — Brad Wall (@BradWall306) October 16, 2018 […]
A few years back, I did a post where I researched the closing times for various Canadian libraries on Christmas Eve day.

Yesterday was the first day of fall but much of Saskatchewan had already received a heavy snowfall and Regina got a sleety-snowy rain that didn’t stick around but definitely felt more like winter than fall. There were other signs that it felt more like winter than fall as well. When I turned on the “Flow” […]
Death was a dark cloud haunting our summer in a variety of ways. In August, I lost a great aunt who lived in Weyburn at age 86. Earlier in the summer, I drove up to Warman for the funeral of one of my favourite cousins who was only in his 50’s when cancer took his life. He […]
Longtime NDP member, former Sask NDP party president and candidate for office and party leader, Yens Pedersen, won the byelection in Regina Northeast yesterday to boost the number of Saskatchewan NDP MLAs to 13. My first introduction to Pedersen was when he competed against Ryan Meili for Leader of the Saskatchewan NDP in 2009. At […]
