53/366 – Well, so much for being smug…
February 22, 2012 – I’ve dodged a lot of health bullets in the last few years, just haven’t seemed to catch anything. When I took this new job I knew I was going to be spending a lot of time in a relatively closed space with people who have children. Little infectious monsters and their parents help spread the joy…

February 21, 2012 – Now how exciting is it to find a Tiffany’s blue box on the table in the morning?!? What woman doesn’t know the Tiffany & Co. name? Why a gift? Because today is our third wedding anniversary. Three years married, but this summer will be 27 years together, that’s actually the anniversary that we generally celebrate, but…

February 20, 2012 - Meetings, meetings all day long, quick run home where Kirk cooked something quick to feed me, them off to teach a radio class. End of a very long day. No ideas for a photo, asked Kirk for inspiration, he pointed at the frog. So here you go. It’s all I could manage at the end of the evening.…

A few weeks ago I received an email asking if I would consider donating two specific photos for potential use as a postcard to be sold to raise funds for the Bloedel Conservatory in Queen Elizabeth Park. I was tickled and forwarded the full resolution photos. Today I received an email and a proof that will go for printing tomorrow.…

February 19, 2012 – Ran through the grocery store to pick up a few staples – yogurt, strawberries, mangoes, bananas, salad green – and all the Easter candies have now replaced the Valentine’s Day sweets in the bins near the healthy stuff. Must resist, must resist!!! Just realized this is photo number 50, a milestone photo, and I didn’t really…

I LOVE this video!!! I try to visit TED for some inspiration and mind expansion every so often, and today I stumbled on this talk. It was funny to have come across it now, since I had been doing some journaling on something akin to the subject and hadn’t had the time to post it. After reading this I went…
Read more »The voice of science: let’s agree to disagree
An article I landed on while looking for a newspaper letter with a similar title. I think it highlights the problems that are inherent with trying to communicate science. There is rarely, if ever, true consensus on a subject, and that makes things difficult when the public is seeking answers. Generally the ethical scientists point out the flaws in their…

February 17, 2012 – When I was a kid I loved the Carol Burnett Show. Kirk bought tickets for us for Christmas, and tonight was the show. And it was wonderful. It was an evening with Carol and she took questions an comments form the audience, presented vignettes and video clips from the shows, and was a completely delightful, and…

February 16, 2012 – I used to work out almost every morning. But that was when I was self employed and worked from home. Ever since I started this new job and took on a compressed work week (more hours worked every day in exchange for every second Friday off), I haven’t had any exercise and I feel it, boy…
