Today is my sister’s birthday. This excellent photo of me and my sister was the result of us trying to take a selfie that got both of us and the “Snow’s Lane” lane in the background into the same shot on our recent trip to Newfoundland and Labrador. This is the only shot where we managed […]
Except I didn’t actually go to Labrador, but the province is officially called “Newfoundland and Labrador”, so it’s technically correct to say I went to Newfoundland and Labrador without setting foot in the Labrador part. It’s kind of confusing, but there you have it. The reason for the trip was to attend the Canadian Evaluation […]
… I’ll be co-presenting a workshop in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador with my sister! I am very excited about this for a number of reasons, including (but not limited to) and in no particular order: the content we are presenting on is very cool and I’m excited to share it with colleagues the conference […]
My Grandpa Snow was born on March 16, 1923, which means he turns 93 years old today. Out of curiosity, I checked out the year 1923 on Wikipedia to see what other things happened that year. Some of the highlights include: the first live broadcast of an ice hockey game was called on Feb 16, […]
Today is February 29th – you don’t get to say that very often, now do you? This year is going way too fast – as years seem to do – so I’m happy to have an extra day. And, since I’m 39, I’m especially glad that this year is a leap year, as it means I […]
My Dad had a chronic cough, as far back as I can remember. To hear it, you would swear it was a smoker’s cough, though he never smoked a cigarette in his life ((I assume it was actually from working so much at the barn with the pigeons and the chickens and the various other […]
So I had a birthday. Apparently my cats knew it was my birthday, because they gave me a present: one of their toys was in the bag that I take to work when I got up on Monday morning. So thoughtful of them. At work, some of my coworkers took me out for lunch, which was […]
On my trip to visit my family for the holidays, I had the great pleasure of getting to spend lots of time with my niblings. And I want to capture some of the adorable things my nephew Thomas, who is 4, said while I was there. My blog has several funny comments from my niece […]
Spent the day driving to Ottawa with my family, as we are going to a friend’s wedding tomorrow night. The invitation says it’s a fancy-schmancy attire sort of occasion, so I’ve got a fancy dress, impractically tall shoes, and even some full length gloves for the occasion. My friends Sarah and Dave and their crew will […]
For the official record ((My blog is the official record.)), the following baked goods were baked at the annual Snow family Christmas baking extravaganza 2015: My Mom: Tiger Cookies Cranberry Nut Clusters Fake Nanaimo Bars ((Which I’ve been referring to as “Parksville Bars”. Parksville is the town next to Nanaimo.)) Nancy (my sister): brown sugar […]
