Compared to everywhere else I’ve been in Canada, the Internet service in Jasper simply sucks.
I swear I can get online way faster at my parents’ remote cabin in northwestern Ontario, which doesn’t even have electricity, than I can here. Sure, you have to fire up a generator to turn the modem on, but once it’s on it’s far better than what I’ve experienced in Jasper so far.

Wow. That was quick. Did 2011 fly by for anyone else?
While there’s still a bit more than a week left in the year, it’s pretty much over from a newspaper editor’s point of view. Next week is our Year-in-Review edition so this will be the last Last Word of 2011.

Although there seems to be a week or a day for everything, Family Literacy Day is one that I can truly get behind.
Some of my favourite memories as a kid were when my dad would sit in bed with me and read Roald Dahl books. I would be all snuggled in, pyjamas on, covers pulled up to my chin. My dad would sit on top of the covers, as to ensure an easy escape when I fell asleep.

“Can I touch it, or should I be wearing gloves?”
Those were the first words out of my travelling companion’s mouth when we got off the train in Blue River last week. Tom was asking about the snow – something he had never before witnessed, having grown up in Australia.

I have a confession. I don’t compost.
I’d like to think I’m environmentally conscious. I mean, I recycle everything else. I even have a handy little station in my kitchen with different bags for cardboard, tin cans, newspaper, white paper, glass and bottles.
