Yesterday was the first day of my weeklong vacation, which I decided to take before school starts up and things start to get crazy. I decided to spend the day taking a road trip down to Seattle with Kalev. It was a relaxed trip with no real goals in mind – we weren’t going there […]
So, the car that we rented at the Calgary airport had a GPS in it. The hilariously named “Hertz Never Lost” system. Which got us lost both on the way to and the way back Kananaskis. Several times it told us to “stay left at the fork” when the was no fork,told us to take […]
So, I decided to go out for a little run today. This was the path I decided to run along: Not too bad of scenery to have as the backdrop to my run, eh? And as I was lost in thoughts such as “I wonder what world leaders have gone for a run along this […]
I’m writing this from a hotel in Kananaskis – a nice little weekend getaway at the start of what is going to be an insanely busy month at work ((why did ALL of my big projects decide to have major things happen in June? And then data collection that wasn’t supposed to be done until […]
Between Monday and Wednesday, I drove ~600 km. I’m actually really looking forward to having a full day in my office tomorrow – sooo much to catch up on! Also, because it’s now mid-March, I will, like last year, be blaming everything on fiscal year end until the end of the month. Find a typo […]
A little while ago, I noticed this sign on the ferry, which I found to be pretty humourous: I guess I wasn’t the only one who noticed the problem of a sign about hand brakes having a picture of a foot on it, because on the ferry yesterday I noticed they’d replaced all those signs […]
I’m tired just thinking about this week. This afternoon I’m taking a ferry to Victoria for an all-day Stats Canada workshop I’m going to tomorrow. Then I return to the mainland on Tuesday evening and first thing Wednesday morning, I drive to Hope for a full-day of stuff there. Then Thursday I have to go […]
Say the name of that outloud. Couldn’t you go for a serving of “hot ciok” right about now?
Well, I’m on the plane back from the Dominican Republic and I figure now is as good a time as any to start writing my blog posting summarizing my adventures ((Tod is sound asleep, I’m sick of reading (having read 2+ books on my trip), and I’ve processed all the email that came in during […]
Beth’s off on a plane flying to the exciting destination of Regina, Saskatchewan. Oh no, wait, that’s just the stopover. She’s actually off to Punta Cana. Like last year’s vacation, she doesn’t plan to be writing anything on the blog while she’s gone, but she’s scheduled some postings to keep you amused while she’s away. […]
