It’s already past 11:30 pm and I haven’t written today’s blog posting yet, so I’m going to do a quick and easy one by starting to post about all the new foods I made this year. The first new food that I made in 2020 may or may not have given me food poisoning. It […]
I don’t usually talk about work-ish things here, but there are two upcoming events that we are offering through the Canadian Evaluation Society – BC Chapter ((full disclosure: I’m the president)) that I’m super excited about. First, we are kicking off our “Diverse Voices” webinar series tomorrow with a webinar by Carolyn Camman called “Finding […]
Back in the Before Times, I made a list of goals for 2020, like I do every year. However, 2020 has not been a normal year. #UnderstatementOfTheCentury.

So 3 days into November I already messed up and missed posting yesterday. I intended to post after I finished teaching last night, but then I wanted to see what happened with the election and then it became apparent that there wasn’t going to be a conclusion to the presidential election last night because they […]
It’s the eve of the US presidential election. I don’t even know what to say. As a Canadian, there’s nothing I can do but wait and hope and hope and hope. I remember the election four years ago – I was teaching a night class and the topic, ironically, was “leadership”. By the time class […]
So it’s freaking November and, as has become usual these past few years, I’ve been abysmal at blogging. I keep thinking of things that I want to blog, but then never make the time to sit down and do it ((One of my other impediments is that I take a lot of photos and want […]
And so endth another National Blog Posting Month. As predicted, I mostly blogged about inconsequential minutiae, but at least it got me back in the habit of writing everyday. I just looked at last year’s end of NaBloPoMo posting to see what I wrote about and it reminded me that I should probably check out […]
