I acquired a new pair of shoes today. However, it wasn’t my fault AND I didn’t pay for them, so I am not contravention of 2010 new shoe ban, as the exact words of the ban were: “I’ve decided that I won’t buy any news shoes this year, except possibly running shoes if needed.” Hooray […]
Today I finally got to meet my long-lost British twin! I mean, sure we don’t look anything alike and were born a month apart ((I looked up her birthday on Facebook!)) on separate continents, but I can think of no other explanation for our similarities than the separated-at-birth theory. We are both scientists who chose […]
This guy: …is totally doing this: Props to Monica for showing me the giant double rainbow video.
We did it! My fourth, and Alicia’s second, half marathon is in the books! All week long I was watching the weather forecast for today and though the forecast for every other day seemed to change hourly, the meteorologists were steadfast on the prediction for Sunday, June 27 – rain. And the only waterproof running […]
The wonderful thing about being a blogger is that no matter what crazy, #$%ed up shit happens to you, you can always think, “At least this will make a great blog posting!” Which was, in fact, exactly what Alicia said yesterday when we were out for our 20 km run – the last of our […]

My friend Patrice came over for dinner today, and I made us some lovely pizza. I did cheat a bit – I bought frozen dough rather than making my own. Because dough has to rise and I didn’t have time to make my own dough, but I did have time to take frozen dough out […]
So Kalev brought me this gift back from his trip to New York: The red cube is the present. The apple is in the photo to give you a sense of the size of the red cube. It’s a T-shirt. No, really. That teeny, tiny cube contains a T-shirt. And lest you think that’s just […]
Last night I went to a lovely wedding on a boat (congrats to Tanya & Barry on their nuputals!). We had to leave at 5:30 p.m. to go to Granville Island to board the boat. But the first game of the Canucks second round playoff series started at 5 p.m. and as we all know, […]
Tomorrow, Alicia and I will be running the 8 km race at the BMO Vancouver International Marathon. We are training to run the Scotiabank half marathon in June ((why are banks such big fans of running??)) and figured that the 8 km would be a nice training run ((though our scheduled Sunday training run for […]
