Now for something unrelated to running. I recently had the opportunity to talk about one of my favourite lines in a book with the Once Upon a Line podcast. I love to read and am a heavy library user, though mostly because I have poor hold management skills. My mom is a retired librarian, so … Continue reading
I recently read On a Cold Road by Dave Bidini. The book is based on Bidini’s journals and chronicles the Rheostatic’s cross Canada tour with the Tragically Hip in 1996. It includes anecdotes by other Canadian artists on touring, recording records, making it big or trying to make it big. I really enjoyed this book … Continue reading
The other day Kristen asked me if I have updated my blog lately. “No…” I replied sheepishly. “You know I do check sometimes,” she said. The last time I posted we were in the midst of Canada Reads.

Anyway, I first read The Time Traveler’s Wife a few … Continue reading

I have never really followed it before but had checked their website on occasion to see what books had won and what books were chosen. One of my favourite books in the world, In the Skin of a … Continue reading
At the end of 2008 PC Magazine had an article on their 100 Favourite blogs. The best part is, they cover blogs ranging from the arts, sci-fi, ugly people, humour, etc. so it’s not just IT or tech (not that those blogs are bad, but it’s nice to have variety). I went through their list … Continue reading
