Just realised that most of the photos I’ve been uploading have been regular size (eg. 2-3 MB) instead of being properly re-sized for the web. Apologies to anyone who’s still on dial-up (uhm, is there anyone still on dial-up?) Not sure if it’s been mentioned on my blog yet (if you’re following Shea’s Facebook photo […]
Canada comes in at #14 which means I’m moving to somewhere in Scandinavia. 😉 Just kidding but seriously, this isn’t that hard. Having daycare spaces for everyone makes for a better work-life balance?

It was June 6, 2009 and the Saskatchewan NDP were choosing their new leader from among four candidates. After Deb Higgins had been dropped off after the first ballot and Yens Pedersen had conceded, Meili knew there was […]
On Thursday, Pace got his first stripe in karate moving from a white belt to…a white belt with a single red stripe on it. On Friday, he passed his swimming lessons and will now move from “Salamander” to “Sunfish”… And of course way back on Monday, Pace was easily the cutest tiger on the block… […]
Three years ago, my dad underwent treatment for prostate cancer. I also have an uncle (my dad’s brother), one of my dad’s best friends and a few others who I know who’ve underwent treatment for this disease.
