31/366 – A Bit of Protection?
January 31, 2012 – Garlic is not only good, it’s darned good FOR you too. Protection against colds, and of course, it keeps those pesky vampires at bay

30/366 – Pistachio Nuts
January 30, 2012 – Once upon a time I didn’t like pistachios. I don’t know why, I just didn’t. But tastes change, times change.

29/366 – Fading Light
January 29, 2012 – You will have to forgive the less than stellar shots for today. We spent more time driving than anything else. And the time we weren’t driving, we were in a memorial service, alternating between laughing and crying. Visiting Salmon Arm always hits me like a wave of emotion for so many reasons. Sunburns and skinned knees.…

28/366 – A Better Than Average Drive
January 28, 2012 – At least as far as the Coquihalla highway in January is concerned. As a general statement, I hate this highway. No matter what time of year, its only redeeming quality is the ability to get into the Thompson-Shuswap-Okanagan region fast. As much as fast means when you start out in clear weather, then head into fog,…

27/366 – Oops
January 27, 2012 – They look similar don’t they. Almost identical. Almost… Particularly in the dark. Today was my flex day so I slept in. Kirk, kindly, gathered his clothes and shoes in the dark so as to not disturb me. I do the same for him when I have to leave early. The major difference is that I don’t…

26/366 – All The World’s a Stage
January 26, 2012 – I was going to write about the wonderful musical we saw tonight – “Do You Want What I Have Got – A Craig’s List Cantata”. I’ll just say that if you have the opportunity, you simply have to go see it. It’s a fun ride. We had a hotel booked, train tickets purchased, and boat show…

25/366 – Early
January 25, 2012 – This is a rarity for me. I generally time things out in such a way that I walk into the terminal, down through the shops, and usually wait no more than a few minutes before walking onto the ferry. It would have been that way today except that when the meeting ended and I thought I’d…

24/366 – Altar?
January 24, 2012 – Not for me, I have never really liked pop. I always found it too sweet. But it reminds me of a funny story. Years ago a Japanese woman came to join our lab and do a PhD. One day at the start of a term we were walking across campus. The first week of University is…

23/366 – Just Saying Hi!
January 23, 2012 – I was trying to take a photo of something else when I heard a little noise and realized I was dangerously close to Gizmo. Not that being close to him is bad, but if you are doing something below him he gets a tad territorial and tries to sneak down and get at you. I turned…

The odds of running into each other in a sea of people seemed minimal, but it happened. Were you hurt? Did you really fail to recognize that this happened months ago? Or were you just embarrassed because of where, when, and in front of who we accidentally crossed paths? Did you feel betrayed? None of those outcomes were intentional. I…
