OK, maybe just vote early. It’s municipal election time here in BC (as it is in some other places in the country) and while election day isn’t until Oct 20, I’m going to be in the far away land of Scotland on some well-earned holidays on that day ((I’m very much looking forward to my […] →Read more
Thanksgiving weekend was a busy one this year, including but not limited to (and in no particular order): working on Saturday morning (due to the project I’m working on requiring some data daily for a few weeks, so everyone on my team has taken on some weekend shifts) lifting weights up and putting them back […] →Read more
It’s been another trip around the sun for my kitties, Watson and Crick – today they turn 7 ((According to the internets, that’s 44 in people years.)) Being cats, their lives aren’t that exciting, to be honest. But in the last year… Watson has done some reading: Crick sat in the sink for the first […] →Read more
… and I’m leading my division in points. For reals. Here’s proof: I’m really just recording this here because I know it won’t last for long ((Probably by the end of tonight it will have changed.))! I mean, last year I only had three points in the entire SEASON in this division, and right now […] →Read more

This is actually something I learned quite some time ago, but never got around to documenting here on ye old blog ((In fact, WordPress tells me that I started this blog posting on January 23, 2018 and then proceeded to not finish for seven months. Better late than never, I guess?)) My good friend, and […] →Read more
On the weekend, while falling down the rabbit hole that is the “Recommended” video section on YouTube, I came across this old SNL video that made me laugh harder than I have in a really long time. And I laugh all the time, so that’s saying something. At any rate, I’m posting it here to […] →Read more
