Thursday, February 17, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada I know that I am not literally the only person without vast channel selection. I know also that many people choose to have no TV. At many points in my life I have made the same choice. Now I’m in between worlds, televisually speaking. At the beginning […]
Wednesday, February 16, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada That picture of the shadow of the hawthorn tree is from Sunday. Today I noticed the shadow again, but since we’ve had light fluffy snow all day, the branches’ shadows look twice as thick. Wednesday is Breakfast With Suzanne Day! Today: Cora’s in MacKenzie Town. Or maybe […]
Tuesday, February 15, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada Pictures from the past week or so. There was more snow, though today a lot of it is gone, melted, lost. We went over to the local arena.

Thursday, February 10, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada OK, Christmas was almost two months ago. And yet, there is a stack of abandoned Christmas trees on the side of the road in a pull-through. Why? Because in years gone by, in the early weeks of January, the city has asked people to pile the trees […]
Wednesday, February 9, 2011 Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada Yippee! Wednesday. It’s become my breakfast out with Suzanne day. The rule is, never the same place twice. It’s going to be a hard rule to keep, because I’ve really liked a couple of the places. Today: Over Easy on Edmonton Trail. Never been there before. Decor […]
