Happy birthday to Mike Reno, born on this day in 1955 in New Westminster, BC! As the lead singer of Loverboy, he has multi-platinum albums. In 1982, the band won six Junos. In 2002, he released his first Solo Album & is a member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

Ugh, so many terrible things in the world! It's difficult to go about the everyday while it all seems to be falling apart. My heart goes out to those in the world under siege, running for their lives, trying to make it to tomorrow.

Okay, another platform of which I will try to get the hang! I'm a Canadian academic librarian on the prairies (University of Saskatchewan) and here's my dog, Miley!
