One of the things we knew we just *had* to do on our trip to Oregon was go to Voodoo Doughnut. I can even remember where my sister first heard about it, but heard about it she had – and pretty much everyone I told that I was going to Portland said, “You HAVE to […]
I may not have mentioned it before, but I like free stuff. So much so that I once walked all around the downtown core of Vancouver with Kalev acquiring free Slurpees. And then the next year, free Slurpee-acquiring day went on a trip to the ‘burbs. And then last year, despite Kalev’s absence, I managed […]
I’m taking a page out of the Dr. Dan book of blogging by titling this blog posting about my race using the best sign that I saw along the route. In addition to the sign that said, “Worst. Parade. Ever.” my favourite signs that I saw along the half marathon route today included: Your legs […]
Time flies when you are having fun! Seems like I just got to Ontario and now I’m at the airport, waiting for my flight home! Since I last blogged, I: had breakfast, lunch ((in beer & onion rings form)), and dinner with Kalev had breakfast with my mom, Aunt Eileen & my sister had lunch […]
As you know, I like to cook. I also like to take photos of the stuff that I cook under the misguided notion that I’ll actually get around to writing blog postings about said cooking. Instead, here’s a bunch of random photos of stuff I’ve cooked over the last eleventy months that I never got […]
OK, maybe you can. But you shouldn’t, really. As you know, I’m currently raising money for Cystic Fibrosis Canada as part of the Longest Game of Hockey for CF.

Shortly after signing up for the Longest Game of Hockey for CF, I came to a stark and unwelcome realization: I have to stop consuming caffeine! Playing hockey all day, every day means I won’t have time for such things as drinking coffee. And I know that whenever I go a day without drinking coffee, […]
A couple of weeks ago, when McDonald’s was giving out their coffee for free, a colleague and I were acquiring some of said free coffee at a McD’s near our office when I noticed a sign indicating that Shamrock Shakes were back! So I got all excited and squeed about said Shamrock Shakes and my […]
I’m a self admitted coffee snob and a chocolate snob. Oh yes, and a grammar snob as well ((Yes, I do know that is an incomplete sentence. And, yes, I did do that on purpose)). And with all that snobbery in my life, I don’t feel that I can also afford to be a wine […]
One day when I was visiting my family at Christmas, I came home from the grocery store with a bunch of groceries for the dinner I was making that night. My niece was a bit puzzled by the fresh garlic that I’d bought – as it turned out, my sister & her bf usually buy […]
