I’ve given notice on my Yorkton apartment, and have a place in Regina already. Saturday Ashley and I packed up a full size van load of my stuff and went to Regina, then unloaded it into our townhouse. There’s another trip to make next weekend, and then I’m moved away from Yorkton, maybe forever. I’m still looking for a dream job in Regina, but if one doesn’t pop up soon, I’m sure I’ll find a regular job in short order, there is certainly no shortage of job listings. I may meet the perfect employer while I’m attending the TLT/IT conference in Saskatoon May 1, where I give a presentation on the Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit. It will be a good chance to rub elbows with important people in Saskatchewan’s education and technology fields.
One of my old high school teachers will be presenting something, as will another SaskBlogger. The teacher taught me calculus in high school via satellite. He’s obviously going to speak about distance education, and he must be an expert by now since it’s been nearly a decade since he taught me in Limerick from his Regina classroom.
Some people from my brother’s church had a look at our van today, in order to see if they want to buy it. They pointed out a couple maintenance issues I’ll have to get fixed, but considering the vehicle is only about 4 years younger than me, it’s in super shape for having driven about half a million kilometers.
I caught most of the ACC Top 40 today, which has been a favourite radio program of mine since the mid 1990s. I’m not sure if I’ve warmed up to Kix Brooks as the host instead of Bob Kingsley, but it still sounds a bit like an old friend.

Whooee! Remember the Seifeld episode where Jerry couldn’t remeber his date’s name an’ all’s he knew was it rhymed with a female body part? We never found out but I figger her name was “Regina.” I reckon there’s some good fodder here fer a bawdy limerick.
There once was a blogger named Saskboy,
Who went shoppping around for a sex toy,
Down in Regina,
He found a rubber vagina,
Now he’s happy though still unemployed.

I thought to myself, why Regina?
Why not Winnipeg?
Then it hit me.
Abandoned Stuff by ManBoy is a poor name for a blog :-)
Hope the move goes well.

One thing I remembered from my trip to Regina?
The Bushwacker Brew pub!
All the best with your move.

Actually JB, her name was Delores. ;)

Mulva was one of their guesses.
Thanks for the well wishes all.
Stageleft, that’s not such a bad name. I’d start going with “SaskGuy” but there’s a certain appeal with people at first thinking I’m maybe 14 years old. It helps them to underestimate me :-)

There once was a blogger named JB
Who couldn’t “figger” out his TV
It only showed snow
On the pale green glow
“The TV’s worked fine since 1950!”

You could always become Saskman…. No wait I think that is Lorne Calvert’s nick name. Anyway, Welcome to Regina. I have lived here most of my life and am proud to call it home.

Whooee! Good limerick, Sasky. My dear departed Dad useta tell the story of when he took me with him shoppin’ fer our first TV. The year was 1950!! The significance of the shoppin’ trip was that toilet-trained toddler JimBobby pissed hisself lookin’ at all the TV’s. We watched that 1950 Philco B&W until about 1966 when Dad converted the mahogany cabinet into a bathroom vanity.
