As I mentioned in my first blog posting about the Longest Game for CF, one of the things this game will be is a tribute to legacy of Eva Markvoort. Eva, who died just over a year ago while waiting for a second lung transplant (as her body rejected the first set of lungs she […] →Read more
I was sure that I started writing this blog posting last week and I totally remember embedding the videos and everything. Yet just now when I came to finish and post it – it was completely gone from my Drafts. Weird! Anyway, I’ve been meaning to blog about the music I’ve been listening to lately. […] →Read more

So I decided to stay in tonight because (a) I’ve been doing entirely too many things lately and I’m freaking exhausted, (b) I still haven’t recovered sleep from last weekend’s hockey playoffs ((seriously, who schedules games at the unholy hours of 10:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. on weekend days??)) and (c) I have a bunch […] →Read more

I went to a player meeting for the 10 day long hockey game on Friday. I’ll write more about the meeting soon, but first and foremost I want to put out a plea for RVs! As you know, during the 10 day long hockey game, the 40 women who will be playing are not allowed […] →Read more
So it seems that my hockey team has made the finals, being played this afternoon, despite coming in last in our division in the regular season!
