Up in the Air

Well it seems that things are still up in the air. I’m still disrupted, but I’ve got a short term contract in the VPIT’s office doing some really interesting work. I haven’t been sitting still over this involuntary break, I’ve been working on a PhD application as well as my running. I’ve managed three long [...]

Happy Birthday!

Well, all of Aishani’s parties are done -first birthday wise. It’s really been interesting to see “who” was there a year ago and who was able to make it out this time. Not to say anything bad about the people who were busy, because they would have come if they could have – but the [...]

TCI Check… Flame… nope…

Well I took the girls to TCI and had a great time. You can see the full gallery here and read my Trip Advisor review here. It was quite something to say the least and it is a place that now rivals Disney in my heart. If I want a “do something” vacation, I’ll hit [...]

Topcase Repaired

This weekend, my 3 year old Macbook got a new lease on life. The topcase was cracking all around and it seems that it is a known issue. The repair was quick and easy and all I needed to do was make an appointment with the Genius Bar and in less than half an hour, [...]

Timeraiser 09 in the bag

Well it’s in the bag. It was fun to get out there and meet all sorts of people. I might have also lined up some more volunteer photo gigs with some of the charities in the city. You can check out the gallery here.

Turkey Trot 09

Well, I did the 8km run in 40:02 on my watch and 40:07 according to official timing (I think it’s funny that the U of A doesn’t have the results yet). I forgot what a pain it is to to the corral start, but it does let you get limbered up for the rest of [...]

Rock’n Run

Well, I did it. After being one of those kids who hated running, now I’m one of those crazies who runs for hours (well 1h 49min) just for fun. I was hoping to do this last year, but when all was said and done last year, injury and baby prep, combined with a massive amount [...]

Ball Busters Div 12 Champs!

To quote our team captain: We hit first place halfway through the season. We finished tied for 3rd place. We lose 6 out of our last 7 games. Then the playoffs come and WOW: 4 wins in a row against the number 2 and number 1 team in the division. I finished the playoffs with [...]

Hobbies flying high

As we finally get things together with being parents, both Neelam and I are slowly getting our little hobbies going. Neelam’s letters and cards are going well and my photography seems to get getting some attention and hopefully that turns into some bookings. Neelam has her site up and running but there seems to be [...]
