  • 2,500

    This is my 2,500th blog posting. It’s kind of mind boggling, really, that I’ve written that many postings. Even more mind boggling to me – people actually read them! I’ve had this blog for 3,142 days, meaning that I’ve written an average of 0.8 blog postings per day ((That’s actually much closer to a blog […]

  • If you only read one lablit story this year, make it “Crisis Management”

    As I was looking at my favourite tweets for that last blog posting, I realized that I hadn’t blogged about Cath’s short story, which was recently published in LabLit. For the uninitiated ((Which included me until Cath introduced me to Lab Lit by publishing there.)): “lab lit fiction depicts realistic scientists as central characters and […]

  • Dumb Ways To Die

    This song is totally stuck in my head, which may or may not be due to my nephew wanting to view this video over and over and over again: And playing the video game.

  • Some New Ornaments for my Christmas Tree

    And speaking of blog postings I wrote a while ago, I apparently forgot to finish this posting, which I started last week! I’m one of those people who have an eclectic set of ornaments for my tree. Rather than having a coordinated set of decorations that would make Martha Stewart proud, I have a tree […]

  • Getting By With A Little Help From My Friends

    The other day I came home to a card in the mail. It’s not my birthday and it’s too early for Christmas cards (even for the most eager of Christmas fans), I thought, so what could it be? As it turned out, it was this: A card from my friend Dr. Erika, wishing me well […]

  • 2,580

    I have *finally* finished uploading all my holiday photos to Flickr and that’s how many photos I took – 2,580. Well, I took a few more than that, but some were blurry or contained only the face of the random person who walked right in front of my camera as I tried to take a […]

  • The Wild Rover Returns

    And so my first every trip off the continent has come to an end. I have many blog postings ((Where by “have” I mean “mostly in my brain still, but with a few bits and pieces jotted in my notebook.”)) about my various adventures that I will post over the next week or so – […]

  • Frog Prince

    My friend Heather ((Who happens to read all my footnotes, just like Martha and Loren! And Kalev too!)) gave me a very thoughtful present – a frog that turns into a prince ((Which, of course, is a pretty darn good present for a frog lover who is looking for a prince!))! Isn’t this a cute […]

  • Happy Birthday, Sis!

    It’s my sister’s birthday today and I want to wish her the happiest of days and many, many more! For those of you who don’t know my sister, she is a remarkable woman. A harder working person you will not find ((And coming from me, that’s saying something, if I do say so myself. Which […]

  • I finally have something to blame all my absentmindedness on!

    I’ve long been absentminded, but I can now add “Professor” on to that, for, as you will already know if you are linked in to me on Linked In, I have a shiny new title to add to my resume: Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Health Science at Simon Fraser University. Adjunct Professor, unlike […]
