Karin and I were watching the Olympic ten thousand meter race this morning, and I couldn’t help but think — as the soon-to-be winners sprinted their way to the finish line, legs a blur of surreal strides — that until I get a little more advanced I should probably be using the word “jog” to [...]

December 28
With only a few days left in this blogging marathon, I once again found myself back home and spared with a relatively quiet day to catch up on some much needed down-time. It’s funny, though. We’ve been scooting about the province, visiting at and with a variety of people, and celebrating [...]

Ryan and I pulled up our boot-straps and stood at the back of Rexall Place last night with standing-room tix to the Oilers versus Canucks match up, our little white-painted floor-squares not nearly as good as seats, but definitely much better than any television screen. What surprised me was the disproportionately large number of [...]

Life dictates chaos, it seems. Order in disorder. Busy-ness and fragmentation.
I am on a quasi-holiday. Go nowhere. Do nothing. At least in the abstract sense of going places and doing things. I have really, honestly, been doing lots. I’ve been doing so much in fact that I scarcely have time [...]

I’ve never really been one to focus obsessively on anything. I usually pick something to try, try it, and then move on when I think I’ve got a basic skill set that will let me be reasonably successful if I’m ever pulled into the activity again in the future. The exceptions to this, [...]

Yesterday wasn’t exactly our day.
The frustrations bent something along the curve of the digital realm, I first accidentally killing a third of the songs on my iPod, then crashing the hard drive of my computer in an attempt to resolve the issue. At one point I thought I was going to need to start [...]

I’ve lived in this city for (going on) three years, now. I’ve seen inside that big silver ball on the harbour called Science World, I’ve been wafted by the pressurized doors of BC Place twice, I’ve ridden on (possibly) every single car of the Skytrain, been on Grouse, taken ferries, creek taxis, and explored a [...]

I’m only writing, because after a brutally invigorating evening of climbing I can happily report that not only did I challenge and obliterate a particularly difficult five-eight wall tonight, I blazed up my first five-nine! My mom would be so proud — if only she had the slightest clue what I was talking about.
Speaking [...]

For those confused over my absence and lack of blogginess.:
1) The last four days in Toronto was busy. Very busy. I had no access to any sort of computer — except when Sarah let me use her’s to check my email for a few minutes.
2) Karin and I spent the day very busy. [...]

Karin went out for drinks with her work.pals this evening, so while I putter around with the place to myself I have a few evening highlights:
1 \ Mojo is playing the WHL game live, and it just happens to be Red Deer versus Vancouver. Admittedly, I’m torn. But ya’know, I have been in Vancouver [...]

As many of you who read this webspace may or may not know, there is a complex underbelly that occurs in its development. A nifty little system called Blogger (recently sold to Google) forms the essence of my ability to post quickly and frequently here in this part of the net-i-verse. You can [...]
