A blog full of memories
Here is a picture of my parents on the first camping trip of the year in 2007. Ever since they have been married, they have gone camping. And now in 2007, it’s 42 years later!!!! My parents have been married for 42 years. They are still camping. Most importantly, they are still laughing!!!! I love …
One day last month, my team had an off-site meeting at this wildlife Safari park in Sonoma County: Safari West. It was definitely an interesting day. We started around 10 am. At 12h00, we had lunch, then we were lucky enough to get a walking tour of the immediate property (which means that we didn’t …
You are driving in a car at a constant speed. On your left side is a ‘drop off’, (The ground is 18-20 inches below the level you are traveling on), and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you. In front of you is a galloping horse, which …
WAY TO GO RACH! I’ve never been more proud of anybody in my life. So, if you’ve been reading my blog at all, you know a little bit about my friend Rachel Ferguson. She is a 17 year old singer songwriter from Alymer, Quebec (the greater Ottawa-Gatineau region). And, she’s kicking ass! I love it. …

A questionaire from Cyndi Targosz (of Starglow Productions) arrived in my email this morning. She’s asking me (and all of my eligible friends) to fill out a questionnaire about being in a relationship where the woman is older than the man. I’m going to do it. Not that I have any interesting stories about dating …
How’s this for a random event: A new colleague of mine told me in the hallway the other day that she had a treadmill for her dogs. I thought that was odd enough–until she told me that she’d sold the treadmill to a lady who wanted it for her sheep. This really is California. I …
On the cbc.ca homepage the other day, I saw this advertisment: MAN!! A few years ago I went to Alberta to visit family and my cousin NIK had a version of hockey night on her phone. When I got back to California, I told a few of my fellow Canadian geek friends about it. Joe …
These last two months I’ve been watching the entire six seasons of Sex and the City episodes from my NetFlix queue. I’m fascinated that a writer can write one column a week, live in her own apartment in New York City, and afford all those designer shoes, clothes, friends, restaurants, and night-clubs. (Yes, I know …
