Another year, another Pacific Spirit 10 km run. I was rather disappointed with my time (1:03:37.9; pace 6:22 per km¹). I really have no idea why I was so damn slow- it’s difficult to tell really how fast you are going because (a) it’s a trail run, so you are weaving all around the trails […] →Read more
Today was beautiful and sunny and warm. Granted, I spent 9+ hours of it in my office, where I only got to see the sunshine through the window and not feel it on my face like I so desperately wanted to, but I did get to wear some summer shoes. Sure, you’ve seen these shoes […] →Read more

OK, now that I’ve winnowed my 3 jobs down to just 1.3 jobs1, I have time again for such things as writing my “weekly” prime ministerial blog entry. Also, I’m in the process of suckering in Sarah, the resident Canadian historian here on NTBTWK, to spice up at least one entry in my P.M. series […] →Read more
Saturday’s rant is brought to you by the letter M. For marshmallows.
Yesterday, I got this notification, telling me that my delicious, delicious vegetarian marshmallows that you can only get by buying them on the internets and having them shipped from the States at an exorbitant rate are waiting for me at the post office. Usually, you get these little notification cards to tell you that they […] →Read more
So yesterday was tax day. Hope all y’all did your taxes. I did mine a few weeks ago when I was procrastinating on doing the things that I should have been doing. This is the first year that I had to pay any serious coin to the CRA¹, what with having been a student up […] →Read more
