Spent the weekend at my friend Erika’s parents’s lakeside cabin up in the mountains. After a weekend of wearing flip-flops in a shower-free environment, I had such dirty feet that I’m certain Dave would have run screaming from if he had seen me. Major accomplishments of the weekend included: I caught a fish! And it […]
Apparently there is more to life than updates on Canucks trades, which is all my blog has consisted of lately. So, this weekend I’m headed up to my friend Erika’s parents’s cabin* with a bunch of other scientists, to relax, boat, swim, drink, chop wood** and discuss the future of science. You know, typical camping […]
Well, maybe not dead. But out of Vancouver (and out from under our salary cap!). Yippie!! We traded the overpriced choker for some draft picks (but frankly, I’d have given him away for free, just to get rid of his salary). I don’t know why Mark Crawford* loves him so much, but it works for […]
I’ll admit it. I’m addicted to Cobs Bread. Specifically, their Country Grain. I got a loaf the other day that was fresh out of the oven — ohmigod, it was to die for! I also discovered that they have opened up shop in Ontario! And, of course, I discovered this *after* I got back from […]
So I’ve signed up to take part in a study being conducted by a friend of mine. I know how hard it is to get people to participate in studies and, since I was eligible and available for the time needed, I volunteered. I won’t go into the details of the procedure, since it’s not […]
Happy Canada Day, eh? Now I’m going to celebrate – I’m off to the beach!
More good news for the Canucks! We’ve signed Daniel and Henrik Sedin (a.k.a. The Twins) to new 3-year deals! Now we just need to sign Anson Carter so we can keep the Brothers Line together and we’ll be golden!
In my recent absence from the blogosphore, I didn’t get a chance to comment on the big trade! Big Bert down to Florida, along with Alex Auld** and Bryan Allen, for ROBERTO LUONGO and some other random. We finally have a goalie! A real freakin’ goalie!!! I mean, we’ll miss Bert, Alex & Bryan, but […]
In no particular order, here is some random cool stuff: If you add a bunch of Mentos into a bottle of pop, it makes this wicked pop explosion. We use it to demonstrated some principles of chemistry to kids. A friend of my recently sent me this link to a video of some people who […]
If you are one of the people who does not like to hear me complain about Toronto and sing the praises of Vancouver, you may want to skip this entry. The entry below this one is a lovely summary of my trip, in cheesy number format… perhaps you would enjoy that? OK, I am only […]
