Saw her in concert last night and had a wonderful time. I’d never really heard of her before but I love her now. She plays what everyone in my group is calling “piano music”. Sarah is very interactive with the audience and takes herself lightly as she jokes with the crowd. You can tell she […]

1.5 Weeks away!
by Bertha on 22. Apr, 2009 in Australia 2009, Canada 2006
Yes, well, I’m looking at a really long layover in LAX, about 14 hours or something so I think I’m going to see if there are any city tours that take you to and from the airport. Looks promising but costs $80.00USD. And I’ll have to look into whether my luggage is going to automatically […]
I’m Famous!
by Bertha on 19. Apr, 2009 in Canada 2006
I was interviewed for Global tv News today. The interviewer said it will play tomorrow morning on the morning show as well. Went to the condoblitz at Park Place and I don’t know why but my friend and I were the only ones there at 11am so we were asked to interview. NOW I’m FAMOUS! […]
Mayor’s Annual Celebration of the Arts #22
by Bertha on 07. Apr, 2009 in Canada 2006
I’ve discovered 2 new Edmonton artists last night when I went to the 22nd Annual Mayor’s Celebration of the Arts at the Winspear downtown. Hosted by CBC’s Peter Brown (very witty) and CTV’s Carrie Doll, it was produced by Professional Arts Coalition of Edmonton (PACE) and had many performances spread throughout the awards announcements. Among them, my […]
Feeling Old but not Too Old
by Bertha on 06. Apr, 2009 in Canada 2006
This weekend I went to sleep quite late on Friday night, it was really Saturday morning 5AM! This just threw my internal clock right off for the rest of the weekend and I could barely wake up this morning for work. Makes me feel just _that_ much older that I can’t recover as quickly. What […]
This week in the life of B…

Plays a pick up game of ice hockey. She gets box seats to the Oilers game against St. Louis… The furnace craps out at the house and she spends the night under the covers with a small, borrowed space heater. The washing machine finally gets fixed after about a week. Buys a new digital camera! […]
New Edmonton Record Set!

That’s right! For all those of you not living in Edmonton, we’ve set a new record! I heard on the radio today that our average high for this time of year is +1C. The airport this morning recorded a new record temperature of -42C! In other news it’s Downtown Dining Week in Edmonton so check out […]
Edmonton Rush
by Bertha on 09. Mar, 2009 in Canada 2006
The Edmonton Rush Lacrosse team had a promotion for $1.00 seats and I rounded up a bunch of us to go. I’d watched/played before so I thought it’d be a great opportunity. It’s a great sport to watch! A little violent, but very exciting. With high energy music constantly playing in the background, you really […]
