    Tour de Timber

    by
    October 5, 2022. We went on a gruelling 6 km hike (with 318 m of elevation gain) today on the Tour de Timber trail at Mont Tremblant. This is a seldom used trail off the beaten track, and while the trail was quite difficult, the forest was beautiful an...

    Top Of The Mountain

    by
    October 4, 2022. Had a very slow day today, but we did make it to the top of Mont Tremblant for a walk around. I woke up with a massive headache which cancelled any plans of cycling I had. Not whether it was dehydration or too much mountain sun or what...

    Corn and Barn

    by
    September 30, 2022. This was a scene on my bike ride today, a shortish 30km effort. But I made sure to wear orange. I also spent time mowing the lawn (part of it; it has to be done in segments). And playing No Man's Sky. https://flic.kr/p/2nQoxSS

    The Doughnut

    by
    September 29, 2022. Every evening I play 'string games' with the cats, and their preferred strategy is to dive into this hollow doughnut and leap out at the string as it passes by. Today was spent doing project paperwork and preparing to be out of the ...

    September 27, 2022. This is a Dairy farm on the road to St,. Albert I cycle frequently. Today I completed the third of three presentations within a week, this a panel appearance online. There has been a lull; now I'm relearning the whole process of cre...

    Cat Basketball

    by
    September 26, 2022. Actually, Charlemagne was chasing a fly or moth or something. In addition to being polydactyl, with giant opposable thumbs, he also very agile on his hind legs. Today was kind of a quiet day, doing one presentation, getting another ...

    Wasp and White Flowers

    by
    September 25, 2022. Fall flowers were out in the Reveler Conservation Area, where we went for a short walk today (couldn't do a lot after a late night return from football). My camera ran out of power after three photos, so I relied on my phone, which ...

    RedBlacks

    by
    September 24, 2022. This was the high point of an absolute dog of a football game (though the Argos played really well and their fans should be proud). 42 of the 45 points scored by the Argos were scored on RedBlacks turnovers, including (I think) five...

    by
    In this post I explore the pedagogy of humour in the context of higher education teaching and learning and begin to realise there’s more to humour in the classroom than having a bit of fun! This was my starting point, … Continue reading ?
