And now part 2 of this guest posting extravaganza by Sarah! Again, with my comments added in [square brackets] and in italics. So, volume 2. Dave has retired for the night. He says: “Tell everyone that I am lame and am going to bed. Unlike Beth, who rocks.” I cannot guarantee that the content of […]
OK, so it looks like we are full on into nostalgia mode! Hot off the heels of my regaling you with tales of my life in westward movement, I now give you another guest post by Sarah! And since I can’t resist putting my 2 cents in, my comments shall appear inside [square brackets], in […]
So, my guest posters have been *much* better than I have with the whole “Stuff Books Taught Me” theme. And they’ve written these beautiful, touching, insightful masterpieces. And me, not so much. But they have inspired me to talk about the first book I remember: Donkey Daniel in Bethlehem. It’s a book about the Christian […]
Who better to write a guest posting with my theme of “Stuff Books Taught Me” than a librarian? This guest posting was written by the lovely librarian, Rebecca, of Larocque and Roll. Last summer, four librarians from Nigeria, Cuba and Iran were denied visas to go to the IFLA [1] conference in Montreal. While I’m […]

A guest posting from my Official Statisitian and Tattoo Consultant Holy crapshite! I almost forgot to write my blog entry! I’m horrible. But then again, I remembered so maybe I’m not so horrible after all. I blame my PhD, and my Post Doc, and a slew of other academic pursuits for my memory lapse. I […]
Taking the screenshot of my tweet for my last posting reminded me that I totally need to share with you my favourite tweets! And the favouriting of my own tweets isn’t quite as narcissistic as it looks. I mostly do it to make particular tweets of mine easier to find when I want to go […]
This posting is an idea that’s been floating around in my head for ages after a conversation that I had with my friend and running partner from my first half marathon, Kelly, on one of her subsequent visits to Vancouver. Perhaps this is a sign that I am now officially an old fogey, but I just […]
