Well I sure am glad I don’t have to go to work today. I didn’t bother to look up the official tally but we got a LOT of snow over the past 24 hours. Lucky Dan has a final voice exam today (this always happens every exam period for him) but all the has to » Read More

I was reminded of Robert Munsch stories when my Dad was here. The official website is here, where you can download files of him reading the stories. My favourite is Angela’s airplane. Read More

The first thing was that I was nursing Evie in the morning and Dan came to say goodbye before going to school. In his “singing voice” he addressed Evelyn and said goodbye and without missing a beat she looked over at him for 30 seconds while she was still eating and then back at me » Read More

A few nights ago Gwen was changing Evelyn after a big poo and once the diaper was off, according to the eyewitnesses at the scene, there was some “projectile pooing” which shot out and all over Gwen! It somehow managed to miss most everything else, including the couch (thank goodness) but Gwen definitely had to » Read More

We spent the day in today, mostly hanging out (”slobbing around” in Red Dwarf language) and it was a very nice change. We made a big breakfast with bacon, hash browns and french toast and then read for a bit. I am reading a collection of select 20th centufy novels, plays and short stories. I » Read More

I just checked my spa*m and saw that I received one from “protein molecule”. Now I know proteins are very imporant things, but gee I never thought they were intelligent and had email accounts.

When I was in Alberta my cousin asked if I had seen the new Canadian TV show called ReGenesis. Since we only watch Lost and an occasional Dr. Who episode on TV, I hadn’t heard of it but decided to look into it. When I came back my co-worker asked me the same thing and » Read More

Friday was a very tiring day for a number of reasons. One of the people I’ve worked with for 2 years had her last day on Friday so we had our big goodbye. We also had a scare with one of the pieces of equipment in the lab, but everything was fine in the end. » Read More
