My dad emailed me this photo yesterday: It’s the odometer of his truck, which he bought on the same day that I bought my car, and yes, that is showing that he’s driven 100,000 km! In 944 days ((Mathletes will note that works out to 106 km per day!!)). In contrast, here’s my odometer: 53,683 […]
So it’s my week to do the update on the hockey pool that I’m in. I really wished that I’d volunteered to do the Week 7 update, where I reigned supreme! Instead, I’m doing the update on this past week, so I get to report on how sucktastic I am. But since it’s not all […]
I watched the start of one game and the end of the other, but both Cup games played in Vancouver this weekend ended with a victory for the good guys! Truth is, I’m not really much of a football fan and haven’t been since many, many years ago when my Dad and I used to […]
Hey, remember that time I set a world record? I know, how could you forget with it being so epically awesome and all? Well, I think I mentioned ((I say that I “think” I mentioned because I was kind of delirious from pain and sleep deprivation during most of that game, so I can’t be […]
Astute mathletes will notice that a 2-5-0-1 record does not a .666 winning percentage make. This is because the winning percentage only counts the games that we’ve played in Division 3, to which we were recently demoted. We are 2-1 in Div 3, hence the .666. Happy Halloween, y’all!
A while ago, I bought a Groupon for the Running Room – $50 worth of stuff for only $25. I figured it was a pretty good deal, given that I often buy stuff at the Running Room and I assumed that I’d run two half marathons this year and thus would, at the very least, […]
I got a text message from my friend JB yesterday. All it said was: “Beth Snow + David Booth = babies?” David Booth, I thought? Who the hell is David Booth? Turns out that I’ve been a negligent Canucks fan and had missed the news that we’d traded away Samuelsson and Strum for Booth and Reinprecht from the […]
I’ve been incredibly lazy in my hockey pool and haven’t changed my picks since the first week. And I’ve suffered the consequences, as I now sit in last place in my pool! *hangs head in shame* So I decided that it was time to shake things up, which meant I had to actually look at […]
So the hockey pool has started! And since “week 1” only constituted two days ((Thursday and Friday, since the CBC hockey pool that we are using starts it’s “weeks” on Saturdays.)), Cath decided that she’d start doing the weekly updates next week. Well, bollocks to that I say! I’m doing well and need to brag, […]
Since the NHL regular season starts tonight (huzzah!), I had to pick my players for Cath’s fantasy hockey pool last night. The pool is a little different than the one I was in last year, where there was a draft and then that was your team for the whole year. In the pool I’m in […]
