Last week we were in the West. Alberta, to be precise. We boarded a train on Friday evening, and were in Edmonton Saturday morning. We rented a car, drove south to Calgary, and spent a few days visiting with my sister and her hubby. Tuesday we drove back up to Edmonton, [...]
…tonight at judo, one of the guys said I looked "intimidating". Because of my new haircut.
No idea what he might've meant by that.
We painted the living room over the last few days.
We went from a fairly dark blue

We primed it first, which annoyed me, but was probably for the best.

"Dave…"
"What?"
"Dave, that wasn't the Green Goblin. That was some guy in a green mask."
