New Egypt
Back when I was living in Pembina Hall, I lived with several Egyptians and they spoke of their home with pride in their people, but not in their leaders. I’m happy for them today. I wonder if they were in the square.
Social vs Religious Observation
This afternoon, CBC Edmonton played a story about a Muslim family from Egypt who are going to be celebrating their first Christmas here in Edmonton. One segment of the story explores what other people think about the family celebrating Christmas, wondering if they are converts or aren’t “really Muslim”. The father mentions that what they [...]
Grey Cup 98
Well, we were at the top of the stadium, couldn’t be further from the field. But we were high enough to almost reach out and touch the Snowbirds and CF18s when they blew by, the later on full burners. Part A of Grey Cup bucket list item done.
1000 logged kilometers
They say that the gift of 1000 paper cranes is supposed to grant the folder a wish, or to grant long life or recovery to the recipient. If, to do well, folding a crane would take me 4’45″, then I would have now put in the same amount of time to fold all those cranes [...]
Canadian Derby Half Marathon
Well I finally have an officially clocked half marathon in the books. Coming in with a chip time of 1:44:03, gun time of 1:44:09 and a watch time of 1:44:04. I would say that I did not too bad. I had some hip issues for some unknown reason – they never really bothered me before, [...]
Almost there!
Well there are two things that I wanted to to do as part of my New Year’s resolution. One was run an official 10km, and the second a Half Marathon. Well the Little Big Run is in the bag, and the Canadian Derby Half Marathon is coming up this weekend. I’ve looked high and low [...]
Green Fields
Well after another few kicks to the teeth, I think I have to take a little break and heal up (perhaps literally today after breaking my sandal running across the street) before trekking out into the world of long term stability again. Fate may be telling me that I have to start from a green [...]
4G eh?
Spammers must think us bloggers are real dim lights when they start signing off their spam with “Sent from my iPad 4G”. Really… they must be in a real strong area of the RDF.
WP3!
Well, this update went much smoother than the other WP updates that I have done. At one point I was looking at running both this site and the blog site from within the same WP, but I don’t think that would work. It will be too much of a hassle for me to figure out [...]
Out of Isolation
It looks like my story in the Edmonton Journal has come out of isolation as well and has been syndicated across the Canwest/Global/canada.com system. So I’ve seen it in papers from Vancouver to Montreal often with people asking questions about either the Nike system or motivation along the way. I guess I can now think [...]
