We’re in Edmonton now. Dave and Miss Magic8Ball are here as well, Dave having flown in and avoiding a cavity search at the airport. We are hanging out with my dad’s extended family, none of whom I know, and Dave is being made fun of for being American. Sunday night, we’re heading to Canadian Sue’s for steak and beer. I will come home and spread BSE all through the Mid-Atlantic. Whee! ---

Now, now. You know he’s always being made fun of for other stuff. They gave him an award for being smrt enough to grill burgers. Wasn’t that nice? Back at my parents’ now, in Southern Alberta. Dave flew back on Monday, and I went to Sherwood Park to a cousin’s, then to my sister’s in Red Deer. It’s time to NOT DRIVE for awhile.
