This is a shot of Pace up to no good at the Weyburn Public Library after watching Weldon the Wacky Wizard, our summer reading tour performer.

I have no idea how Shea (dark brown hair) and myself (medium brown hair) managed to have a kid with such blond hair.  (Of course he was conceived somewhere around the time we went to the Fred Eaglesmith Picnic south of London - coincidence?)

You wonder, "Is it because the person asking thinks I'm the best person for the job or they just got the smell of fresh meat?"

A pretty revealing list comparing word counts for various topics on Wikipedia:

Call of Duty WWII Video Game (13 069 words) vs. World War II (11 884 words)
Pokemon (5 721) vs. Poker (1 857 words)
Superman (10 641) vs. Human (10 385)
...and wait until you see the final result - God vs. Knuckles (of Sonic the Hedgehog fame).  Yikes!

One of the smaller jobs I do in my position of Branch Supervisor is review the local library board minutes that are sent in by each of our 47 branches after every one of their meetings (which can be anywhere from 4-12 times per year depending on the size of the branch.)  I have to check that information is being conveyed accurately, policies are being followed, keep an eye for anything branches are doing locally that may require assistance (or intervention!) from HQ, etc. 

There's always a few humourous nuggets to keep me entertained and as I review a stack of them today, I thought I'd pass along one idea you might want to use as a fundraiser in your own library:

"John (Mary's son-in-law) has agreed to donated a quarter of Angus beef for the library to sell as a fundraiser...the draw will be held at the Lion's supper in November." 

(Have I mentioned how much I love being a librarian in rural Saskatchewan? And for those of you with hyper-sensitive sarcasm detectors, I'm not kidding! )

Friends of our have moved to Halifax for school and are keeping a blog to keep the folks back home updated on happenings in their life down east.  This recent entry was particularly hilarious as was the following clip:
