Two years in the making. I started this book two years ago, after doing some guest lecturing at Queen’s University. I had things to say and I kept running out of time. Then, conveniently, my son was playing in a summer basketball team that practiced in another city so I couldn’t go home between dropping […]
It’s done! I have uploaded my Masters Thesis. If you are curious you have three ways to check it out. I completed in a 3-minute thesis competition. I have youtubed it here if you have a short attention span/time. I also recorded a Grad Chat which is a 30-min summary – posted as a podcast […]
My son has recently acquired a passion for basketball. He is practicing four or five hours a day – on his own at the park. He is a serial obsessionist. His goal today is to be an NBA star. What I can be thankful for is that he has the concept very clear – you […]
This post is about saying yes. During the COVID pandemic we found ourselves at home more, like just about everyone. The kids have always asked for a pet but we are travelers, and when we go we are sometimes gone for months or years so a long-term pet isn’t in the cards. We decided to […]

I don’t need to post a tutorial for this one because there are lots out there already. This video has four cut pieces, includes really clear instructions.

There are some things we haven’t figured out how to buy without packaging. And truth be told the pandemic has seemed to make it even more difficult. However, we still try to reduce our impact where possible. Here in one example: parmesan cheese. I actually did buy a block of solid cheese without packaging and […]
I may have reached a whole new level of recycling. I am now picking up garbage from my neighbors bins to reuse at my house. Here’s how the story goes… I was sitting on my front porch one morning, having a nice cup of tea and contemplating my very sad front gardens. Wanting some kind […]
Welcome to Master of None. What begins here continues the record of my adventures, as a multi-tasker. I love to do many things, and am excited to share them all with you.
