wiLL yoU?
Will you give me yourself? Will you come travel with me? Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?
A long weekend beginning
Yeah it’s Friday! I must say, ‘Good Friday’ is an aptly well-named holiday 🙂 Any three day weekend is a welcome reprieve from the grind, especially when one gets paid for it. It’s kinda interesting working for a whole whack of Dental Hygienists around Easter time. I wasn’t sure if I’d be getting mini-lectures on…
sand castles in the skY
What a fun way to pass the afternoon … we went to the Calgary Adventure and Travel show at the Stampede grounds this afternoon. It was fun to dream of travels abroad and adventures extraordinaire … but those luscious visions need to be contained for just a while longer while we raise the capital to…
Magnetic Fridge Poetry
I was updating my Facebook profile with some of my favourite poems … and then I thought about my own inspirations … those cre8ted on various fridges over the years. Here’s a sampling of my quick artistic expressions, many simple and a few profound (to me, anyway): up thy beauty celebrate naked & frolic we…
Never again
Ok, this might be a bit too personal for your preferences … so stop here! Never again: will I eat a load of raw vegetables before yoga class (even 2 hrs before). With each twist during my practice, I could feel a surging air pocket within me gasping to be released. Flatulence during yoga is…
Frontpage you say?
For you techies out there who might be wondering why a proficient Dreamweaver user like myself would want to learn the functions of a mediocre program like Frontpage (the fact that it’s a Microsoft product already has me reeling), here’s the scoop. Part of my new job description with the Health Region is as their…
today I ….
– took an Advanced training course in Frontpage with CTC TrainCanada (paid through work) and found myself disappointed with the instruction, but especially discontent with the WYSIWYG editor itself – discovered Facebook (and reacquainted myself with some old friends and relatives) – had a fulfilling yoga practice with a marvelous steam session to follow –…
The Intrepid, Ill-Fated Parachutist
When I was a wee child, I had always wanted to learn how to fly (and even went as far as jumping off objects with both an umbrella and a garbage bag!). Franz paid the ultimate price by taking this notion a tad bit too far … basically base jumping without a parachute. Egads! Death…
International Polar Year
In what may turn out to be the biggest international scientific project to date, an army of thousands of scientists will spend the next two years studying the Arctic and Antarctic as part of the International Polar Year, which officially begins this week. Organizers of the project say as many as 50,000 researchers from 63…
An afternoon at the ballet
It was slaDE~s idea … Who would have thought??! On the 22nd of this month, our month anniversary date, slaDE~ made a strong affirmation that he really wanted to go see the ballet, never having experienced the elegance of such a venue. Living mere blocks away from the home of the National Alberta Ballet, we…
