  • Thoughts On Fredericton

    So I’m back now from my trip to F-ton. And I didn’t even blog the whole time I was there! I must have been having fun or something. I was there for a teaching & learning conference at the University of New Brunswick, where I gave a presentation & a poster on my work from […]

  • My Mid-Week Weekend Update – Part 2

    You’d think after Saturday’s epic tour to the Albion Ferry, I’d need a day of rest and recovery, right? But there’s no rest for the wicked, my friends, so Sunday brought another trek up the Grouse Grind.  Long time readers will know that though I complain that the Grouse Grind now has way too many […]

  • My Mid-Week Weekend Update – Part 1

    So this past weekend I was out having so much bloggable fun that I never got around to blogging it. Until now. Which is Wednesday. Saturday involved Kalev and I going on an epic road trip to the Albion Ferry.  For anyone not from the Lower Mainland, I shall explain what the Albion Ferry is […]

    Congratulations to Kalev, who graduated with his Bachelor of Arts in Sociology today!  He now has a “B.A.” to join the “B.Sc.” after his name.   I went to his grad ceremony today and I have absolutely no photos of it to show you since I took photos on his camera instead of mine. D’oh!  I […]

  • Congrats To Alicia & Paul!

    Saturday was Alicia & Paul’s wedding.  It was lovely – everything was beautiful and it is was so obvious how much in love they are. Even the minister pointed out that they had the most passionate kiss he’s ever seen in a wedding! My pictures aren’t all that good, because my camera is just a […]

  • Did You Vote Yet?

    I went first thing this morning.  Voted in the election and the referendum on BC-STV. You should go too. Go now! Unless you don’t live in BC, aren’t at least 18 years old and/or aren’t a Canadian citizen.  Then no election for you!  Otherwise – vote!

  • I’m Too Tired To Blog…

    …so instead of a blog post, I give you a link to photos of me at the half marathon.  I can’t put the actual photos up here, as they are all copyrighted.  And if you follow that link you will see that the photos are very low resolution, you know, so you can’t steal them […]
