As I mentioned the other day, I’m doing the National Blog Posting Month thing. And, while I generally have a copious number of ideas of things I want to blog about, as soon as I commit to something where I *have* to blog, I immediately panic that I’m not going to have any ideas. So […] →Read more
In Honour of Halloween, My Hockey Team Has a .666 Winning Percentage
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! →Read more
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, […] →Read more

Of course, now that November is also Movemeber, it’s probably the crappiest month of the year, what with moustaches being the […] →Read more

And while they weren’t as impressive as the eyeballs I made last year, they turned out better than the short fat ghosts I made the year before that. The […] →Read more
This is my 2000th blog posting! In celebration, I thought I’d share some blog stats. Because stats are the best way to celebrate things, right? # blog postings: 2,000 # of days this blog has existed: 2,301 average # of blog postings per day: 0.86 # of blog comments: 6,518 average # comments per blog […] →Read more
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 […] →Read more
This was the Do Not Disturb door hanger at the hotel we stayed in for Linda & Casey’s wedding on the weekend: Please do not disturb. This woman and her apple are having a special moment. Strangely, the “please service this room” side of the door hanger had the exact same picture. Please service this […] →Read more
