Carrick to Calgary

Good bit warmer today, up to -6 at breakfast time, and is currently hovering just over zero as the result of a Chinook coming over. Not bad for being -25 the other night! Most of the snow that was covering the hospital windows is now gone, and I was able to drive in to work this morning without my big coat and gloves on in the car! I'm on call tonight, and P is working late reviewing grant proposals for the Cancer Board.

We're planning to move our Christmas preparations into a higher gear at the weekend, buying a real live tree, lots of baubles and going to Bragg Creek to buy some handmade wooden Christmas things (photos if we get them). Also thinking of going out for sushi and a movie tomorrow night (probably Bridget Jones II, recommended by Michelle McKinley, apparently). Then we have to get our next skiing session set up at the COP next week. P's back has now fully healed, so it's time to get her back on the slopes again! Even though we were wrecked for 24 hours after our last effort, I really enjoyed our day at Sunshine and I'm keen to give it another go. It's that whizzy feeling, moving fast over the powder heading downhill, just on the edge of being out of control and falling over but somehow staying on your feet and making it to the bottom! There's nothing quite like it, even if you do end up with a face full of snow!

Anyway, back to work, as Emerg is on the phone asking for my opinion. Ho hum, pig's bum, as they say!

Later, dudes

PS I see that our politicians have done us proud again, falling out over a few Polaroids. For goodness sake, can someone not just knock their heads together? They're gonna agree on this eventually, so why not just get on with it now?

PPS In other news - the supreme court of Canada legalises gay marriage today, Alberta says get stuffed. Who says we're not the Canadian version of Texas?
