In addition to looking for personal donations for the Longest Game of Hockey for CF, we are also looking for companies to sponsor us ((if you are interested in doing such a thing, let me know and I will send you the sponsorship package!)). You could be the title sponsor for the whole event, or you could […]
So remember when I said that I was going to blog at least once per week about my big 10-day long hockey game for Cystic Fibrosis? Consider this my first of such postings. Since one of the goals of the game is to raise awareness about CF, I figured that I should blog about what […]
It all started with a missing chin strap. A few weeks ago, I went racing into the pro shop at Burnaby 8 Rinks, in desperate need a chin strap for my helmet – my team was playing short without me and every second that went by meant I was missing ice time! The guys in […]
The other day in the dressing room as I was struggling with the busted zipper on my hockey bag, my teammate, Karen, looked at me and said solemnly, “Beth, it’s time.” And it true. My hockey bag had seen better days. It was really more duct tape than it was hockey bag at this point. […]
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 […]
As you know, I like me some hockey players. Especially if they are hotties. And especially especially if they play for the Vancouver Canucks.

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 […]
At my hockey game tonight, I learned that I’ve been playing without a chin strap on my helmet. Like, for my entire hockey playing career. Now, when it comes to hockey gear, I’m usually the safety queen. I’m the one who guilts and/or scares the other players into wearing neck guards with graphic descriptions of […]
So I’m on the ferry heading back to the mainland from my weekend in Nanaimo. The boat claims it has wifi, but I can’t appear to connect to it. Ferry FAIL. Another thing this ferry lacks: hotties. Double FAIL. At any rate, I’m writing this tiny posting on my iPhone in the WordPress app so […]
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 […]
