The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
WordPress just sent me my annual blogging report, which informed me that my blog has been viewed 34,000 times this year! My busiest day was Nov 23, with 513 views, mostly on this blog posting, which for some reason got pingbacks on two sites that stole this article from the Guardian. The report also claims that I’ve […] →Read more
So today my sister and I went to the spa for pedicures because we are going to my sister’s best friend’s wedding on New Year’s Eve and I needed to have toenails that match my fancy dress. We may also have consumed some wine while we had our fancy pedicures. #RoughLife →Read more
When I was in Ireland, I bought myself a Connemara marble ring, which I love and wear most days. One day back in August ((Holy cow, I can’t believe that was all the way back in August!)), I looked down at my ring and noticed that a chunk of the marble was missing: I knew I’d […] →Read more
Remember that time I did a Paint Nite with Cath? Well, I also did a paint night with my friend Amy way back in the old timely days of October! Here’s the painting we were trying to paint – a heron sitting on a hill: My hero turned out to look more like a duck, […] →Read more

Item #92 on my 101 thing to do in 1001 days was “Get a journal article published”. And it turns out that my latest article, which I found out was accepted for publication a while ago, was just published in the Fall 2015 issue of the Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation on Dec 22!

And speaking of races that I’m going to run in 2016, thanks to my friend Julie, who you may recall from the PNE Donut Dash and the longest game of hockey, I’m already registered for one: The marathon relay involves four people teaming up to complete the 42.2 km of the full marathon as a team.

And speaking of my 2015 goals, another one was to run 800 km. Mission accomplished! I actually hit the 800 km mark back in Oct shortly before running the Rock’n’Roll 10 km race. And then after it got cold and rainy and dark and I had no other races to train for, and it became very […] →Read more
