It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. -Albus Dumbledore Since I now spend almost an hour a half a day in my car commuting to work ((that’s nearly 7.5 hrs per week, people!)) and since I discovered that you can download audiobooks from the library FOR […] →Read more
Where the F did you go? I remember it being May and then I looked away for a moment and now it’s September. W. T. F.? And yes, I know that summer doesn’t officially end until September 21 ((or is it September 22? I never remember how that works and a quick Google search did […] →Read more
The 20th Premier of the Province of British Columbia was Simon Fraser Tolmie. I have no idea if he was related to the explorer Simon Fraser after whom the University, the river and a billion other things in BC were named.

Fortunately for me, they were all on the opposite side of the road to me, so I wasn’t slowed down ((but those poor schmucks heading *into* Vancouver were pretty hooped)). And it doesn’t surprise me, given the horrible, horrible, […] →Read more
This is Paul blowing out the candle for his birthday cake. Alicia & Paul held a BBQ on Saturday and, since Paul turns 24 on Wednesday, we celebrated with cake. Delicious cake with fresh mango and blueberries and whipped cream inside. Mmm, cake. This cake was my motivation to run 16 km yesterday evening. →Read more
Today’s entry in my BC Premier Series is going to be short, as apparently John Duncan MacLean was the least memorable person in history. There’s a teeny tiny entry on him in Wikipedia and there isn’t even an entry on him in the Canadian Biography Online and you know as well as I do that […] →Read more
So, it has occurred to me that despite having now had laser eye surgery twice (!), I have yet to give you a blow-by-blow of how the process actually goes down. I mean other than my live blog, of course. I’m I’m guessing that people who come here by way of Googling “laser eye surgery” […] →Read more
