Canadian Evaluation Society Conference – Day 2

Today is the day 2 of the Canadian Evaluation Society conference in Victoria. And, as I did yesterday, I’m using my blog as a dumping ground for my conference notes.  For my regular blog readers, again please feel free to ignore these postings and I promise to blog about zombie uprisings again soon.

Canadian Evaluation Society Conference – Day 1

Today is the first full day of the Canadian Evaluation Society conference in Victoria.  And, has become my custom, I’m using my blog as a dumping ground for my conference notes.  Because that way I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to find them when I want them later (as opposed to them being on paper […] →Read more

This is how dedicated I am

Last night I went to a lovely wedding on a boat (congrats to Tanya & Barry on their nuputals!). We had to leave at 5:30 p.m. to go to Granville Island to board the boat. But the first game of the Canucks second round playoff series started at 5 p.m. and as we all know, […] →Read more

There’s Not An App For That

Where is the iPhone app that reads my thoughts and records blog posting ideas that I have while I’m running, driving, or otherwise unable to record them?  I always have lots of *brilliant* ideas in these situations, but by the time I get to a place where I could record them, they’re gone.

See, I TOLD You!

Ice cream. Looks like I need to go buy another box of those ice cream cones for Round 2. Also, when I was out for my run today, I was running on Kits Beach and saw the monument to George Alexander Burrows that, every time I run buy it, makes me think “He spells his […] →Read more
