This Sunday, I went with Adam to a race at Gloomy Creek, about 2h30m from Edmonton near Rocky Mountain House. Adam didn’t place very well because bike trouble on the first lap put him last but he managed to work his way back up from last place up a number of positions to 11th. I […]

Bon Jovi
by Bertha on 13. Jul, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
Last night Charlene and I had a great time at Bon Jovi. I think she might have lost her voice today from all the screaming… It was a fiasco to get there, just because we had a big plan to meet and take the LRT to avoid the traffic but that just didn’t work out […]
Two Gentlemen of Verona

On Tuesday, Team Chiang, Beau and Christie and Adam and I went to see the River City Shakespeare Festival’s Two Gentlemen of Verona. It was the first time they did a musical in their 19 year run. The play was entertaining and funny. Most of the songs were made you laugh and helped you understand […]
Charlene’s Bday
by Bertha on 10. Jul, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures, Travel
Charlene had a Vertically Inclined Bday party last Friday where we got a lesson and did some top rope climbing. About half the participants hadn’t done climbing before (incl. Adam) but that didn’t stop them from trying. Our guides(?), Ed and Will, were humourous and entertaining and very watchful. We did some bouldering before they […]
Air Supply Review
by Bertha on 06. Jul, 2007 in Canada 2006, Pictures
The venue was a temporary tent and very hot. What I thought was assigned seating turned out to be general seating as we realized folding chairs were just zip-tied together into rows. Had we known we might have gone in earlier. The Ticketmaster website implied assigned seating just by highlighting a section but not two […]

Bon Jovi, Charlene and I have a date on July 12th at Rexall Place for a concert! Also, Adam and I are going to Air Supply at the River Cree Resort and Casino. It’s part of the summer concert series I think.
