Whenever I go on a trip, I do as little planning as possible. Generally, I travel with people who either like to plan or are resigned to it. Case in point: the trip I’m currently on. All the research about the destination, hotel, attractions, etc. were handled by my sister and her boyfriend. I basically […]
I had a ridiculously productive day at work today, getting three major things done that needed to be done, as well as helping out two people with computer problems ((I’m the unofficial IT support person in my office, thanks to my mad computer skillz. Where “mad computer skillz” = I know how to use AutoFilter […]
Happy anniversary, Mom & Dad! Here’s to 40 more years! Image Credit: Posted by jon jordan on Flickr.
No trip to Ontario would be complete without a blog posting about the hilarious things my niece said ((My nephew, of course, is too young to say much of anything, though when he yells it often sounds uncannily like he’s yelling “HEY!”, which, coming from a four week old baby, is hilarious enough.)).

Since clearly I’m way too busy to actually write all those blog postings I said I was going to write, here’s an even shorter summary of what I’ve been doing since my last summary: Monday was a (mercifully) low key day, after all the crazy busy-ness of the first several days of my trip. I […]
Hey, remember when I said that I was planning to do a much better job of blogging this trip than I did of blogging my last trip. Apparently, I was full of crap. So, let’s see if I can do a quick summary of all the awesome things I’ve been doing instead of blogging. Let’s […]
At dinner tonight: Madeline: If you had a bunny, what would you name it? Me: Um, Hoppy? Or maybe Fluffy? ((I am notoriously bad at naming things, for the record.)) What would you name a bunny if you had one? Madeline: I would name it Bobby Orr. For the record, my sister and Jeff do […]
