That would be another goal for Dr. Beth! Although not a game winner this time, tonight’s goal was scored from “the doctor’s office.” But this time, I lifted the puck up off the ice! One might even call the motion used to put the puck in the net an actual “shot” (as opposed to my […]
Last night we finally won a game in spring league hockey and guess who scored the game winning goal? Go ahead, guess. No really, guess. If you guessed “Dr. Beth”, give yourself a gold star! We won 8-0 and the first goal was scored in my patented picking-up-the-garbage-off-a-rebound style. We’ve started calling the act of […]
Another year, another Pacific Spirit 10 km run. I was rather disappointed with my time (1:03:37.9; pace 6:22 per km¹). I really have no idea why I was so damn slow- it’s difficult to tell really how fast you are going because (a) it’s a trail run, so you are weaving all around the trails […]

It’s for a good cause – proceeds from this year’s run will support important research and the development of care initiatives for individuals with dementia Thanks to those who have helped me reach 72% of my fund raising goal so far.

When I was in Vegas last weekend, as we drove by “Wayne Newton Blvd.” on the way to the airport, I said, “I wonder if they will name a street in Vancouver after Trevor Linden?” You see, this season was Trevor’s last in the NHL and with the Canucks not making the playoffs, Vancouver had […]

As was expected, the Canucks did very little at the trade deadline today. The only thing we did was trade one Matt for another Matt1. Now, as is my custom in the event of a Canucks personnel changes, I give you my in-depth analysis of the trade: This is Matt Cooke. He was sent to […]
So, if I were going to show off a new shirt to everyone I know, a shirt that pretty much looks exactly like a shirt I already had, but in a different colour, I probably wouldn’t first make them watch a 5 minute video showing all the many different kinds of shirts I’ve worn over […]
I know you’ve been waiting with baited breath to find out if I did, in fact, survive my first ever half marathon. Well, wait no longer, here I am, curled up in my chair with my sore feet and achy calves… but still able to type, so now you get to hear about my running […]
Now that I’m a 9 to 5er, I spend about 8 hours a day listening to the radio. I am partial to the station that brings you Hump at the Pump and Wear the Fox Hat. On the morning show, they have open phones and every time they have a different set of rules. One […]
