One of the items on my 101 things to do list was: 36. beat my current record of 10 points in a hockey season Well, the regular season of my Burnaby hockey team finished up last week and I give you this season’s stats: Item #36 – check! Bring on the playoffs!
Last night I went out for dinner with a couple of girlfriends that I haven’t seen in ages. When I first got to the pub, my friend Svetlana was there and one of the first things she said was, “I think your braces are changing the shape of your face.” And then when Ziba showed […]
So, I was planning to run the Vancouver BMO half marathon in May. But I’ve made the executive decision that I’m so not going to be ready to run a respectable half by May 1st, what with the lack of training due to subzero temps and torrential rainstorms. Instead, I’ve convinced my friend Kim that […]
So I’m taking this bioethics course ((At the end, I’ll be able to do ethics consultations for our portfolio. Case #1: Is it ethical for me lord my ethics expertise over you?)) at work ((There I go talking about work again. What is wrong with me??)), which involves a 1.5 hr teleconference almost every week […]
In what I consider a hilarious juxtaposition with yesterday’s blog posting, I have to tell you about the prize that I’ve won. I’m a big fan of entering contests.

The title of this blog posting was going to be “You sound like a bitter crazy woman!” Which might have been what a friend of mine said to me on the phone last night. In my defence, she’d been asking about a recent date that I had and since dating sucks, how else was I […]
I had such grand plans to go for a run today after giving my guest lecture. My lecture went just smashingly ((Rachel’s students = tres awesome. I’ve already asked to come back and give this guest lecture again next year!)) and since I had a few hours to kill while Rachel taught for the rest […]
And so the blogging streak of 2011 ends, a mere 42 days into the year. I blame BC Ferries for not having wifi on the Queen of Alberni. And then I blame the fine glass of wine that was waiting for me when I got to Rachel’s place, which put all thoughts of blogging out […]
While updating my CV today, I discovered that a paper I wrote ((based on the conference presentation I did in New Brunswick, way back when)), which had been accepted for publication a gajillion years ago, is finally in print.
