Normally Wednesdays are Midweek Geekiness posts. My co-worker's funeral is today, but I can't make it. Her passing has put things on pause for a moment. Instead here are The Wailin' Jennys performing 'Bright Morning Stars' live in this YouTube video. Stop for a moment and remember those whose footprints remain on your life. “I … Continue reading Pausing for a Moment

The Turn of a Dime
Once again Winnipeg finds itself either 'frigid' or 'bitter' depending on the weather site regarding the winter cold. It's like this heavy mass of arctic air has an emotion. Cold doesn't have an emotion, just a reflection of our emotions. Nobody describes cold as 'sad', but it's how I feel right now. A co-worker called … Continue reading The Turn of a Dime
Tuesday Tidbit
I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong. -Bertrand Russell
Tuesday Tidbit
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. Douglas Adams
Yes, I Ran. Yes, It Was Cold.
Seriously, the warm thought machine felt a little stuck. Yesterday, I ran with the Learn to Run clinic participants, or those hardy souls willing to come out during -26 with windchill. It felt colder than that, and I wore pretty good layers. The edges of my hair turned frosty, and my glasses fogged up a few … Continue reading Yes, I Ran. Yes, It Was Cold.
A Holiday to Recover From My Holiday
My last day of work before Christmas break was December 21st. I returned January 2. In between family, friends, and holiday eating I felt like the 'break' was really a 'blink'. (As in 'a blink of an eye.) On Friday most people around the college remarked on feeling tired, while quite a few picked up … Continue reading A Holiday to Recover From My Holiday
Tuning Into a Frequency
I get the Daily Post from WordPress in my e-mail to catch up on tips for better writing. One of the best tips, the most simple, yet the most difficult is frequency. I looked at the two badges for 2013 (Post Everyday and Post Every Week) trying to make up my mind what's more realistic. … Continue reading Tuning Into a Frequency
Midweek Geekiness Part Two: Onward
Yes, I saw The Hobbit. Yes, I saw it more than once. Yes, a review is coming. Now that we got that out of the way, a few notable things to mention. How about finally, FINALLY becoming a member of Whedonesque. Whedonesque devotes itself to all things Whedon and his many works. From time to … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness Part Two: Onward
Midweek Geekiness Part One: Turning the Page on a New Year
Michelle W over at the Daily Post posed a simple prompt today: Where were you last night when 2012 turned into 2013? Is that where you’d wanted to be? It's a good question to ask prompt or no prompt. New Year's Eve gets loaded with expectation and regret. The stoke of midnight puts a period … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness Part One: Turning the Page on a New Year
