Except I didn’t actually go to Labrador, but the province is officially called “Newfoundland and Labrador”, so it’s technically correct to say I went to Newfoundland and Labrador without setting foot in the Labrador part. It’s kind of confusing, but there you have it. The reason for the trip was to attend the Canadian Evaluation […] →Read more
I wrote this on the plane on June 3, when I had no Internets to post, totally thought I’d posted it the next day, but I just discovered that I did not, so I’m posting now (after adding in a few links). As I waited for the plane to get going (our pilot was late coming […] →Read more
Everyone I’ve interacted with so far today – my taxi driver, the security guy at the luggage screening, the security guys who randomly selected me for the thing where they swab your luggage for chemical tests – has been super duper friendly. I feel like maybe they are trying to get me ready for Newfoundland […] →Read more

Fortunately, when I popped by the Running Room on the weekend, they were having a sale, […] →Read more
Yesterday was the 45th running of the Vancouver marathon and I ran in it! Other statements that are true include: My friends and I ran a marathon yesterday I ran across the finish line of the Vancouver marathon yesterday. I did not, however, run the entire 42.2 km. Instead, I took part in the marathon […] →Read more
Totally thought this posted a few days ago, but just came onto my blog to write a new posting and discovered I hadn’t. Anyway, here it is now! So it turns out that I bought my last phone a really, really long time ago. Like more than 3 years ago, which in phone-years, means my […] →Read more
