So, I decided to take holidays for these next two weeks, but not to go to Ontario for Christmas. I mean, I really enjoy seeing my family at Christmas, but trips to Ontario are *exhausting* because I have so many people to see and it ends up being a lot of scheduling, running around to […]
So last week I had a bit of a panic about this whole MBA thing. Thoughts like “What am I getting myself into?” were followed up by “I’m getting in waaaay over my head!” and “You know what would be a lot easier than doing this? Not doing this.” And then I realized that I […]
For the second year running, I’ve made it to the finals of Cath’s blog’s Comment of the Year competition! Basically, she picks the top comments from her blog over the past year and then lets her readers vote on the overall winner. I think you know what to do.

Yesterday was day #2 of the conference that I mentioned in my blog posting on Thursday and at said conference I won one of the book draw prizes. Oddly, given that there were hundreds of people at this conference, three of six people at my table won book draw prizes over the course of the two […]

Dr. Dan mentioned this on his blog the other day, but I feel compelled to confirm that, in fact, October 19th will mark The Great Drs. Beth & Dan Victoria Adventure of 2011! You see, Dr. Dan is going to Victoria to give an invited guest lecture on his science-y brain thoughts at a high […]
