Since knew I was going to be in Ontario for Christmas, we put up the Christmas tree in mid-November to allow me time to enjoy it before I left. But since I was crazy busy up until I left, I haven’t gotten around to blogging about it until now. Though the Christmas tree on its […]
Today’s charity is the Wikimedia Foundation ((Wikimedia is an American non-profit, so as a Canadian, I can’t get a tax deduction for donating to them, but I think the work they do is important enough that I’m willing to forgo the tax deduction!)) To empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop […]
As I’ve mentioned before, my charitable giving “strategy”, well, doesn’t really exist. I typically end up giving to charity when someone I know is doing a fundraiser, like a fun ride or the Ride to Conquer Cancer. Some years I get a lot of asks and end up donating to a variety of charities. But […]
There are a mere 30 days left in 2018, so I figured I’d check in on how I’m doing on my 2018 goals. When last we checked in, I had achieved 3 of my 2018 goals. I have now achieved two more of my goals: do a chin-up or pull-up without the help of a […]
I was at a conference on Friday in Vancouver and apparently while I was there, the apocalypse happened in New West. There was torrential rain, hail, rivers of blood, plagues of locusts, and lightning struck my building.

The other day, my gym posted on Facebook that one of the trainers, Cindy Lou, had achieved her goal of doing an unassisted chin up. As you may recall, doing an unassisted chin up or pull up ((Chin ups are where you grip the bar with your palms facing you (or you can do a […]
Thanksgiving weekend was a busy one this year, including but not limited to (and in no particular order): working on Saturday morning (due to the project I’m working on requiring some data daily for a few weeks, so everyone on my team has taken on some weekend shifts) lifting weights up and putting them back […]
… and I’m leading my division in points. For reals. Here’s proof: I’m really just recording this here because I know it won’t last for long ((Probably by the end of tonight it will have changed.))! I mean, last year I only had three points in the entire SEASON in this division, and right now […]
Hey remember that time I bought a condo? Would you believe that was FOUR years ago? Where does the time go? My mortgage broker sent me an (automated, I’m sure) “happy anniversary of having bought your condo” email, which is what reminded me that tomorrow is 4 years since I took possession of my humble […]
