I don’t usually do this sort of thing…. A hockey note here, and mercifully, not the one you’re thinking of. Colby Cosh has posted a fascinating statistical essay discussing NHL team performance in a fairly inspired way. He describes the strong relationship between goals and points: 2.8 goals scored or prevented gains a team one […]

Flex Day Kind of a quiet day, but I had fun. Started out the morning by taking delivery of the replacement LitterMaid; A UPS package is rare enough around here that it becomes a bit of an event. Then, I went for a bike ride. It was a good ride: took the mountain bike up […]

Props to our director of Non-Production for stepping in while Marketing was off not posting! And, let them see cake: This gloriously seventies-vintage recipe (it really did have the super-glazed look that shows up in these pictures) was a big hit. I won’t give the recipe, as it was fairly fussy and it’s easy to […]

Short post, not much time: Weekend involved no riding, lots of classical music. Saw Mozart’s “The Abduction from the Seraglio” on Friday. VSO put it on as a “concert opera”, which means an orchestra, choir, and full cast, but no sets, props or costumes, and the orchestra is on stage. Which is fun, because it […]

Pay $490 for car repairs. Is it too much to ask that they adjust the accessory belts so they don’t squeal? I think not!! Ooh. That’s just a major, bush-league error. I think I’ll take it back to the shop. It would take me 10 minutes to fix, but they’re going to make it right […]

The one site I check every morning To bed early, up early. The car only cost $490 to repair once they got the oil leaks taken care of. Such a deal. The fun thing about weather in Vancouver this time of year is how it can fool you: Feb. 29 was a gorgeous, warm day, […]

Still Feeling Tired It may be time to admit that the amount of cycling I’ve been doing is part of why I feel tired right now. Well that, and getting about 5 hours of sleep last night. Finally gave up on fixing the car myself: Dad says the heavy mechanics at work shy away from […]

Feeling tired last night, I decided to commit to doing a minor bike repair (spoke replacement) at 0500 this morning. Good choice: I went to sleep about 2200 or so, got up early, and took care of it. There’s a certain serenity to working that early. Even though The Lovely One and I were both […]
