Quick...
... somebody give me some interesting ideas about directions in current Anglo-Saxon scholarship! I gotta figure out something brilliant and scintillating to propose when I meet my prof about my undergrad thesis credit on… -
Warm, sunny rock by the water
A picture I forgot to post with yesterday's entry. Saw the latest Uma Thurman movie last night. I can report that, although reviews for this movie are generally bad, if you go with a group of friends and plan to whoop… -
...and they all lived happily ever after.
Though it's far from the end! Today is the 26th anniversary of the day I met my husband, as I mentioned yesterday. July 27, 1980, was a sunny Sunday for a teenage pool party on a farm in rural southern Ontario. It was … -
The passage of time... how it surprises us!
They're digging up my road to re-line the water pipes. Right now my driveway is blocked and my substitute water (from a hose thing) is spluttering. Interesting to watch, though. I enjoy peering into the depths of the lit… -
Rainbow 'Round the Sun
You know when you see something that looks incredible, but you just can't capture the same effect on film? I guess the quest to become a decent photographer is lifelong. Anyway, I thought I'd post a picture, as much for… -
Curious Georgina Returns from Georgian Bay
I apologize for the earlier absence of photos from this post, which is now corrected. I hope you enjoy this excursion to the Great (Green) North! Sooo many photos... soooo little time! Well... I have just finished u… -
I'm baaa-aaaack!
I'm back. I'm tired. I'm sleepy. I'm gonna post tomorrow (well, later today) with some news about my GREAT trip! *goes off to luxuriate on REAL mattress after REAL shower in REAL bathroom!* -
And We're Off!
I'll be gone for at least a week, contemplating the wilds of Georgian Bay (that's part of Lake Huron for those non-Great-Lakes people!). I hope your week is full of fun, and that you will document this fun on your Xanga … -
WARNING: Brain-Melting Cuteness Alert!
Always open to new positive experiences, I have spent several hours perusing the contents of Cute Overload, a site which lives up to its name, let me tell you! Don't even bother to prepare yourself, for I have located th… -
Canoeing by the Numbers
Some of you enjoyed a photo I posted yesterday of Dave canoeing at dawn. How many of you remember that I sent away to have this photo turned into a paint-by-numbers gift for my husband a couple of years ago? [Later edit… -
Curious Georgina Goes Wilderness Canoeing!
On Wednesday, Dave and I are going to canoe and camp on the French River for several days. We’ll mostly be in the area near the mouth of the river, where it meets Lake Huron. Dave is a veteran of many such expeditions. … -
A little swan song for the end of the week
False swans True swans Swan Take Swan Fake (or try here) Swan Lake (or try here) Love the Wild Swan by Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) "I hate my verses, every line, every word. Oh pale and brittle pe… -
Off-Campus Studies for the Mature Student
I have written this entry particularly for a fellow Xangan who is taking the positive, fulfilling step of becoming a mature undergraduate student. Huzzah! I wrote some other mature-student advice recently, but this piec… -
Curious Georgina Enjoys the Toronto Islands
Hi Xangans! Wow, the weather's so nice. Let's go to the Toronto Islands! (Ooo, found a satellite image too.) C'mon, it'll be fun, we'll bring our bikes on the ferry! Click on any pictures to see bigger versions. The… -
Curious Georgina makes a mean tuna melt!
Yes, it's true - I have perfected the tuna melt. It's a great lunch or light supper on heat-wave days when you really would prefer to make light use of the oven. Follow these instructions and you will eat like a king. Wh… -
Happy Canada Day!
Some people imagine that because Canadians are not major flag-wavers and anthem-singers, we don't have a deep love for our country. That is certainly not true of me and many Canadians that I know. My first thought upon …
