Today is apparently Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year… …as well as Martin Luther King Jr. Day which makes it also one of the most celebratory, uplifting days of the year. (I hope the world doesn’t explode.)
I’ve done this every year since I started this blog and once again, here’s a quick summary of my 2010 in meme form: 1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Since my grandparents lived in BC for most of my life (they left Saskatchewan the year I was born so how’s that […]

There’s a small hill behind the school which is “Pace-sized” – except some enterprising folks had seen fit to create an ice run on the hill, build a jump at the bottom of […]
