Gord Downie Taught Me To Dance: Memories of A Band That Defined Me and My Country

So I woke up today to the very sad news that Gord Downie, lead singer of the Tragically Hip, has terminal brain cancer. Obviously, as you age, it’s natural that your own heroes and icons will age ahead of you. But 2016 has been a rough year where we lost some top-shelf music icons – […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – World’s Biggest Tomato (April 2006)

When we lived in Ontario in 2006, Shea and I tried to get away to visit different nearby areas as often as we could.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Is There A Giant Magnet Planted in the Street Outside Our House? (May 2012)

The 10 Most Unique Experiences In My Life

Shea and I have reached that point in our lives where we tend to buy most Christmas gifts for ourselves and then label them as if they were from each other. But we do usually try to get at least one original “surprise” gift as well – for example, this year I bought her some […]

Throwback Thursday – UWO’s Faculty of Information & Media Studies January 2006 MLIS Cohort

[Edit: I have no idea why I posted this on a Wednesday. I’ve fixed the date.] I’m still thankful that, ten years ago this month, a couple upper year students told me during my first couple weeks of library school that it’s more important to get a photo of the people you start the program with rather […]
