I sat down to my WordPress dashboard to decide between working away on a draft post, or starting a new one. Hey, said the little voice, how long have we been at this? I did a check and made the following discovery: I pretty much kept this going for one year. Remember, this whole things … Continue reading A Nearly-Missed Milestone

Drifting Off to La-La Land
When the oral surgeon's office ran down the list of thing I needed to know, having someone with me for twelve hours AFTER the implant surgery left me confused. My mom agreed to spend the night just in case, and I did the usual fast to get ready. I got in, signed my consent form, … Continue reading Drifting Off to La-La Land
Busted Bicuspids and Boston Bank Robbers
Since the last episode of As The Broken Bicuspid Turns, I had a temporary filling put in to await my September 14th surgery. It's a simple plan, really, to wait to get the tooth out then put in the implant. As fast as someone can say 'Bob's Your Uncle' I get a new tooth screwed … Continue reading Busted Bicuspids and Boston Bank Robbers
The Journey of the Unlikely Clinic Instructor Continues
Last week I returned from my running clinic with a bounce in my step. I put my key into the door and had an epiphany: My sense of fun started to come back. I met a lot of people fixated on speed. One got on my case for running the same pace all the time. … Continue reading The Journey of the Unlikely Clinic Instructor Continues
Getting The First Week Down
Last week I began the leading the Learn to Run clinic at The Running Room. Like any new endeavour, I pretty much bounced off the wall until the first session, then settled down. Today I took a small group out for the Sunday runs. One set of members, a married couple, even brought a jogging … Continue reading Getting The First Week Down
Midweek Geekiness: Seeing The Dark Knight Rises
This will sound like part movie review and part polemic. Yesterday, I saw The Dark Knight Rises at a movie theatre. I sat in the middle, with people on either side, and just looked over at the exits once. I sat back in a lovely movie seat to lose myself in Christopher Nolan's final chapter … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Seeing The Dark Knight Rises
More Musical Discoveries
I prowl the alternative music section of iTunes. I randomly click on song titles arousing interest. Other times a song heard on a show resonates with me and I must have it. I just pray it's 99 cents. Most of the times it's $1.29 then I hope to not go completely nuts. I … Continue reading More Musical Discoveries
The Unlikely Clinic Leader
One of my happy places, and I have a mental library full of them, comes from this photo: The woman who took the picture was from BC and simply turned around, whipped out her camera, and captured this moment. The road to the life I live now started to fork in that moment. A couple of … Continue reading The Unlikely Clinic Leader
Good Bye Holidays, Hello Rejuvinated Work Life
This is it. My last day. I went on holidays two weeks ago, and now return a little more rested, ready to tackle the big to-do list waiting to form itself upon my return. It's a far cry from a couple of years ago juggling more than one job after graduating with my library … Continue reading Good Bye Holidays, Hello Rejuvinated Work Life
My New Favourite Song
While on holidays I found myself downloading a few songs from iTunes. Normally I can browse and may be get a song I like. I prowled the top tens and test out a few interesting choices. I hit this new single by the Canadian band Stars called 'Hold On When You Get Love and Let … Continue reading My New Favourite Song
