Saturday Snap – Boundaries? What Boundaries?

In my Wisdom Wednesday series, I’ll eventually do a post about the difference I see between what I call “black & white” thinkers and “grey area” thinkers. (Myers-Briggs has 16 classifications. True Colors has 4. Hamology basically only has 2!) One big aspect of this difference is that are those who think there are hard […]

Our first time to Blanco on Albert St. in Regina after its conversion from a tapas bar. Excellent!

Exercised My #skpoli #ParentalRights Today…

…to encourage my daughter to become a kind, empathetic, supportive human being. (Too bad the parents of many of the current Sask Party MLAs didn’t share similar lessons with their kids before they became regressive, reactive bullies.)

Saturday Snap – National Day for Truth & Reconciliation (Words vs. Actions)

I recently wrote about the gap that often exists between words and action. This may be the most egregious example I’ve ever seen: On the national day for truth and reconciliation we wanted to remember the last day camp buffalo bones stood. The mayor wanted to commemorate NDTR on Wednesday- this audio is from that […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 20 Years of Seasonal Camping (2003-2023)

Back from our most recent camping stretch but bittersweet as my inlaws decided to pull the pin after twenty years of seasonal camping. (This has been coming for awhile but still tough that the moment finally arrived.) So much of our week away was watching as they listed (and sold) their camper, packed up everything […]

The Moose Is Loose! #yqr

We’ve seen a lot of wildlife in the green space behind our house – partridges, rabbits, even a coyote. But seeing a moose earlier this week was a new one!

Always interesting to look at other library system’s annual reports at what’s similar, what’s different and also to spark ideas and inspiration.

Biggest Challenge: “We’re a small city with a relatively big stadium.”

Yes. This is quite the challenge we face here in our little prairie city that’s run by people who want to pretend we’re a much bigger city like Calgary or Edmonton or Winnipeg so they push to build giant state-of-the art arenas. And ball stadiums. And the best football stadium in the country while showing […]
