Happy Canada Day!

I’m going to a BBQ.  Nothing says Canada Day like smoked meat tubes.  (Also, everyday is Canada Day for me.)

1 Cosmic Coincidence and 3 Updates

So I’m in Calgary this weekend.  I went over to the local Mac’s convenience store to get a slurpee and mail a letter, and as I’m in there paying, I put down my cell phone and leave it behind.

Guess who picked it up?

Maggie’s Broken Leg

Maggie decided today to jump from my office window ledge down to the balcony outside the kitchen.

When I heard the thump, I ran downstairs and found her waiting to be let in.

House For Sale … Again

Dear universe,

You’ve been very good to me lately.  Very good, in fact.  I’ve been getting into shape, collaborating well with co-workers, enjoying the sun, eating well, seeing friends, getting new clients.

So what’s up with this sign on my lawn?

Crab Salad Days

Today was a lovely day, and yesterday wasn’t half bad, either.  Friday, also lots of goodness.

Why Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Was Lame

My two word review of the new Indiana Jones movie struck some as being a little too terse ("Don’t. DON’T."), but luckily I’m happy to rant.

Warning, I pretty much give it all away, so don’t read if you’re planning to waste 2.05 hours of your life.

The Busy Week

I was going to write you all and tell you that my first semester as captain of the East Van Halen ultimate team was a tremendous success, that we’d won every game, and that I was well on my way to becoming a local (i.e. in this house) sports legend.

But we lost tonight.  So we end the semester 6 wins, 1 loss.
