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 […]
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 […]
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.
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.

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 […]

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 – […]
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 […]
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’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 […]
