The Hockey Sweater

OMG! Why did no one tell me that The Hockey Sweater is on YouTube?? This is a a Canadian classic! We watched this every year in elementary school, usually right before Christmas break when the teachers showed us a bunch of films ((yes, I’m so old we watched movies on actual film projectors)), probably because […] →Read more

Where Do You Get Your Science Information?

A friend of mine and I are putting together a little science-related blog ((because, you know, I clearly don’t spend enough time blogging as it is)) and I have a question ((a little unscientific survey, if you will)) for one of the blog postings I’m going to write over there.

Beautiful British Columbia

After my second weekend in a row spent on the Island, then a drive out to Aggasiz for a meeting this morning, and then a beach-side run this evening, I have to say – I heart you British Columbia.

Always in the same seat, always reading the newspaper.  Or maybe just pretending to read the paper while he waits for his […] →Read more

It’s time for another round of “random stuff on my cell phone camera” ((which is just stuff that I’ve photographed thinking “I totally have to blog that!” and then it sits on my phone for months on end until one day I’m flipping through said photos, usually to show someone a photo of Tod’s cat […] →Read more

Friends

The other night I went to a friend’s place for dinner.  She’s a coworker from my old job and spending the evening at her place cementing one thing for me: I miss my old coworkers!  Don’t get me wrong – my new coworkers are great, but I built some really great friendships at my old […] →Read more

“Friends with Benefits” – Benefit Summary Prospectus

While searching Flickr for a photo to go with a posting about “friends,” ((which I totally meant to finish writing before I went to the Island this weekend.
