… is that I tend to sporadically do it to excess. If I were consistent this wouldn't be so big of a problem, nor would it be if I happened to not have bad wrists or random aches and pains or other silly health concerns that crop up without much cause, but damn it I… Continue reading The problem with physical activity…

It seems I went from posting nearly daily to not posting at all to my blog for a bit. This is of course quite fine by me, but quite a lot has happened since my last posting, so I figured I'd type a bit about some of what has transpired. I helped host perhaps the… Continue reading Life gets busy at times…

As winter turns to spring (April showers anyway), I'm itching to get out there and be more active. But lately (yesterday in particular) I've been so so tired. No particular reason — I've been semi-active (I could do more than walk a bunch, run after busses, lift my very light weights (I need heavier ones,… Continue reading So tired lately…

Well, maybe. But I'm not going to type about what a lot of folks are. I'm not going to really focus on the outcome. Because, like any other election some folks that I wanted to get elected were, and some weren't. The election didn't perform to my highest hopes nor did it follow my worst… Continue reading Is this going to be my third Alberta Election themed post in as many days?

As I've said on my Facebook status, I voted this morning (about an hour ago or so). It was the first time I've voted at a continuing care facility (but that's where my polling station was). This made me think of two things: how happy I am to be able bodied (even if I have… Continue reading The voting begins…

So there's this thing going on called an election in this province of mine, and while you may already be aware of it if you follow me on Twitter (I'm not a hugely prolific person when it comes to tweeting about the election, but I've retweeted a bunch of things that seem pertinent or which… Continue reading Vote tomorrow, ALBERTA, please!

Waking up this morning I got the email notifying me that I did indeed receive one of the Student Assistantship Bursaries for DH 2012 in Hamburg, Germany. I've never been to Germany, so it should be a nice trip to take, even if I'll be very busy. While this money (800 Euros) will certainly not… Continue reading Booked for one last conference…

… and April seems to be the month to see a bit of it. In fact, had I not just moved my ticket for The Sound of Music at the Citadel, I would be seeing three shows this month (now it's just the two that I have seen). And both shows were really fun! At… Continue reading Gotta love good theatre…

… or at least my body is telling me this today. I sit for an awful long time in front of my ol' computer. And while getting up and moving around is a useful tactic, I kind of wonder what (other than a standing desk, which I honestly don't want) I could do to sit… Continue reading I sit too much…

I attend a lot of events where I don't exactly fit into the average age demographic. Kiwanis is of course no exception. And today, I watched a YouTube video that reminded me of this fact (I'm not going to link the video here, but I'm pretty sure that it's not that hard to figure out… Continue reading On the CLC's Author Cabaret and other fundraising galas
