Wildlife Ecology & Conservation in a New Media world order
You've heard of the movie Four Weddings and a Funeral, right? Well it seems fitting that on the heels of my last posts - about weddings - that now I find myself pondering the loss of an old family friend. I'm not using names out of respect for the family, who are quite private, so what follows are... Continue Reading →
You know that weddings are magical from the perspective of a child. I wrote about it in my last post. But have you ever given it any thought from the perspective of the mom? Yes, you get to haul a barely-used dress out of the back your closet, and you get to go to a dance... Continue Reading →
There are few things as exciting as a family wedding when you're little. There are fancy clothes, there's music, and there is unrestrained access to desserts. You get to see your cousins that live away. And you get to jump on the beds at the hotel. You and your cousins dominate the... Continue Reading →
I love my daughters to pieces. I try hard to guide them to make good decisions, and to provide them with information and reassurance when they get scared or things go wrong. I try to stay patient when I have to repeat myself for the 10th time, and when they respond to my advice with... Continue Reading →
Bamfield is a lovely town, and the people that live here have been so welcoming and friendly. If you haven't been here, you should really see this short clip from CBC's Still Standing (I would have liked to embed that video here, but the CBC player won't let me). It encapsulates the charm of the town, along... Continue Reading →

One week ago today I had a breast reduction done. This is my before picture. And this is my after picture. That after picture was taken four days after surgery. I was worried going into the surgery about the downtime I was going to have and of course the pain that was going to be involved in... Continue Reading →
Today is the big day for my surgery. So since I'll be out of it, and in need of a giggle while I'm waiting on the gurney, how about another Weird Shit compilation to bring some levity to your day? Have a great week!
Do you follow any religion? Christian? Muslim? Jewish? Wicca? The Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life found that globally, 8 in 10 people identify with some religious group. And of course there is variation in the popularity of each religion (i.e. they don't all have the same number of followers), as well as... Continue Reading →
Sorry for the long absence. I've been kinda preoccupied. As many of you know I've been waiting for years to finally get a breast reduction, and it will happen 2 weeks from today. My hubs joking says it's "slapping God in the face" but he's not the one walking around with back pain, permanent dents... Continue Reading →
