IT is not my friend. Or is it?
I’m not talking about my iliotibial (IT) band, nor am I talking about the monster from the Steven King novel ((Though both of those things would be good guesses for things that might not be my friend.)). I’m talking about information technology. Which seems to have had my number recently. I think this whole IT […] →Read more
My Belated Halloween Blog Posting – Daenerys Targaryen Costume
So I have a slight reprieve from my crazy busy-iness, as the class I’m teaching is on Wednesdays and since next Wednesday is a holiday, I have two weeks to write my next lecture instead of the usual one ((I also have assignments to mark, but they are group papers, so I only have four […] →Read more
Stuff To Blog About, Should I Ever Get Time To Blog Again
Another day, another no-seat-on-the-Skytrain ((OK, actually another couple of days where I didn’t get a seat on the Skytrain. Or I did get a seat on the Skytrain but my brain was too tired to do real work, so I added things to this list. Or I jotted an idea or two on the list […] →Read more
My brain is tired
The blogging dilemma – when you have no time to write, the ideas about what to write about come at every moment, but when you have time to write, you have writer’s block. Right now, I’m deeply in the former situation. And so I find myself typing this on my phone as I Skytrain to […] →Read more
Frogs Need Birthdays Too
Celebrating the kitties’ birthday got me to thinking about how I have no idea when the froggies’ birthdays are. I don’t know if they all share the same birthday or if they have different birthdays. And, come to think of it, I don’t even know if you are supposed to celebrate the day the frog […] →Read more
Happy 4th birthday, Watson & Crick!
This blog posting in a couple of days late, as the kitties’ actual birthday was on Thursday. But I had an after work meeting on Thursday and by the time I got home I was too exhausted to do anything other than curl up with the kitties and watch some TV. I figured this was […] →Read more
Mon 13ème demi-marathon: Pas le résultat que je l’espérais, mais je suppose que si je vous écris ce titre en français il sonnera plus impressionnant
Translation of the title (assuming that Google Translate translated it correctly): My 13th half marathon: not the result I was hoping for, but I figure if I write this title in French it will sound more impressive. I was hoping to have called this blog posting “Lucky #13” and to be writing about how I’d finally run the […] →Read more
And now we taper
It has been 14 weeks since I started training for the Montreal demi-marathon. This training has been quite a bit different than my previous training sessions. Differences include: Over those 14 weeks, I’ve run all my runs straight through – no more 10-and-1s for me. I’ve run the majority of my runs in my zone […] →Read more
Academically Promiscuous
It’s September, which means the start of the school year is upon us. This is, of course, rather meaningless if you aren’t a student, a parent of a student, or some sort of instructor… Now, don’t worry, I haven’t enrolled in any new degree programs ((I’m still sticking by my claim that I’m not going […] →Read more
