A blog full of memories
For those who don’t know what a tuque (pronounced tuke) is–a tuque is a warm, knitted, and usually pointed stocking cap that is a staple in most Canadian wardrobes. A tuque–believe it or not– is purely Canadian (or the word tuque is anyway). Originally worn by French Canadian Voyageurs in the 19th century, the true …
We had moose soup for lunch yesterday. It was a soup my parents had made so I don’t quite know the recipe–except I do know about the moose. It turns out that the last time my Dad went moose hunting, he shot a hermaphrodite moose. It looked like a bull moose with horns and everything–so …
I’m experimenting with multimedia. When I went for my walk the other day, I recorded the sound of my feet walking in snow. The picture isn’t that interesting, but I thought the sound was. Here is my debut audio/video. It’s not a sound that I hear often in California. I wanted to record it. Tomorrow, …
I’ve been working on my Mum and Dad’s computer. I’ve found a few pictures of them that I’ve taken over the last few years. I just love them. I love my parents. They are as real as you can get. PS: No live sightings of the Northern Lights so far. It is cloudy this evening.

However, the other day, we were sitting in a restaurant in Healdsburg. After dinner, I excused myself to use the ladies room. When I got …
I spent all day yesterday making Christmas gifts. Mainly, I made Quebec-Martin’s famous Mango-Cranberry Chutney. My idea was to make small jars of preserves for gifts. I bought the jars, but I didn’t have the faintest clue how to make the preserves so I phoned my Dad for advice. Here is what he said: Boil …
I finally woke up this morning after a terrible night of no sleep. My mind was turning with ideas to improve my situation. What good does it do you from 2 am to 4 am though? I just toss and turn and curse how I am going to feel in the morning. It is now …
I’m going to be organizing a WordPress meetup in San Francisco on 27 Jan 2007. I have been using WordPress to make a few other sites lately, and I decided to try to find some other bloggers out there who use (and sometimes struggle with) the software. I looked on meetup.com to see if there …
