The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
If I lived in Montréal, I would surely weigh 1,000 lbs. The food here is so freaking good, but so freaking not good for you. Last night after my day of traveling, I arrived at the hotel have only had a bagel and a coffee, a muffin and a tea. After sitting on planes all […] →Read more
As I write this, I’m on a plane somewhere between Vancouver and Toronto, on the first leg of my journey to Montreal for a 2-day workshop where I will share my research progress with, and learn about the research progress of, other researchers who are in the same funding cohort as me. I had grand […] →Read more
For the second time in three days, I woke up with a charley horse in my right calf this morning. The last time I had a bout of charley horses, the culprit ended up being insufficient amounts of sodium – I was doing a lot of physical activity and eating only things I’d been making […] →Read more
On Sunday, we made some Irish stew. In related news, I think I’m developing a taste for Guinness. A few weeks ago, I picked up some stewing beef at the New West Farmer’s Market. That was back in the heady days of summer ((Note: “summer” in the Lower Mainland lasted until Oct 7 this year.)), […] →Read more

We returned home on the weekend to a sad sight. Rocky, one of our beloved frogs, had escaped from the frog tank and dehydrated to death. =( Aquatic frogs need to be immersed in water – they will die if they are out of water for more than about 20 minutes. Somehow, Rocky had escaped […] →Read more
Given my complete absence from the blog since the day before the half marathon, you are probably thinking that I collapse in a giant heap along the route. Well, I am happy to report that this was not the case ((You are probably sick of hearing me whine about being too busy to blog, so […] →Read more
Spent this afternoon at a birthday party for Devon’s 6-year-old niece. Devon’s sister made some very cool things, which I totally want to steal for future parties – such as fruit kabobs served by sticking the kabobs into a “stand” made from half of a watermelon and individual servings of veggies and dip made using […] →Read more
So, I’m running a half marathon in just over day and I hadn’t been out for a run in nearly two weeks! Zounds! How did that happen?? Well, I committed myself to running the weekly long run in the half marathon training plan that I use and the last long run was two Sundays ago, […] →Read more
Is this thing on? Apparently I decided to go from my month of blogging all the damn time to complete radio silence. We are going into the home stretch of the core part of the MBA program ((Where by “core” they mean “insanely impossibly insanely impossible workload”.)), so all my waking hours have been spent […] →Read more
