I didn’t think to get a picture with all the dads who were around our camp site this weekend but did get separate pictures of Shea’s parents (including her dad) and my parents (including my dad *and* me) so we’ll count that as a worthwhile Father’s Day post!
This idea is increasingly common in other public libraries across Canada but it’s very cool that that Regent Place where I work was the first public library branch in Regina to offer a Drag Queen Storytime as part of the Pride Festival. The idea isn’t without controversy in some circles but I was pleasantly surprised that the vast […]
It’s become a bit of a family tradition to take the kid (and now “kids”) to a small parking lot fair that sets up every June at the Northgate Mall, close to our house, instead of the bigger, busier, more expensive Queen City Ex later in the summer. Here’s a pic from when Pace was […]
There was a time, shortly after I graduated from my MLIS program, where I seriously thought about putting together a presentation about the importance of the public washrooms in libraries – from making the entire library as a welcoming space for the widest variety of people to being a great way to promote programs to […]
I missed posting yesterday since we were camping and my cell data was close to going over so I was trying to minimize anything I did online (er, some would point out that’s probably a good approach to camping in general!) 😉 Anyhow, by not posting a Saturday Snap, I ended up taking a great […]

It was another great visit with lots of laughs, great conversations, delicious meals and we even survived having windows installed in our guest room while Sandi was here. See you next […]
For a brief period of time, I loved the devil face Sasha would make when you told her to smile! 🙂
It’s going to be hard to top how well everything – weather, neighbours who had kids around our kids’ ages, view – worked out at our seasonal site last year. But having spent the May long weekend at our seasonal site at Nickle Lake Regional Park, we’re off to a pretty good start! Shea’s Parents […]
I’ve managed to hit the first two major concerts at the new Mosaic Stadium – the “test case” one with Bryan Adams last May then the first “superstar” one with G ‘n’ R last August. The next big one happened last Thursday as The Eagles were in Regina for the Memorial Cup kick-off but I […]
