The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra has discounted, rush tickets for students and people under 26 years of age as well as seniors. LeAnna invited Adam and myself to see the Classic Landmarks Masters Series at the Winspear Centre. It was amazing and $15.00 for a ticket is cheap, almost the price of a movie. We pissed […]
Ice, Ice Baby

Went to the Ice on Whyte Festival on Friday. The ice sculpting competition was still in progress so we were able to watch the teams in action. Had a real laugh watching one team take a car snowbrush and scrub the groin area of their statue. Here’s a pic of one of one of the […]
Edmonton Motorcycle Show

Has a display of vintage bikes that looked really cool. Some I swear look like the ones you’d see in War movies in Europe. There were also Vespas, Motocross and regular Motorcycles. Here’s a pic of Adam on a limited edition KTM.

In True Canadian Style

Saturday night was about -20C for Charlene’s bonfire. Adam and I sat with Jana, John, and Charlene for about an hour outside before we wussed out. It wasn’t too cold for it but the bonfire just never got going. A small little campfire just doesn’t cut it when it’s -20!! Adam tried to throw on […]
