Thank you, Grandee & Grandpa! Karen and I had a great 15th Anniversary trip to Banff this past week, thanks to you guys taking the brunt of the responsibility in our absence. We know it was tough keeping up with our grueling schedule, managing homework/TV/computer time, keeping the house clean, breaking dishes and dishwashers, staffing […] Who knew our earlier flirtation with the Alberta/BC border was merely a harbinger of things to come? I am in Vancouver at the moment, still two plane flights away from San Jose, but at least it’s warmer here than Calgary. I am still in Canada thanks to my own three minutes of tardiness and […] As a San Jose fan in the Calgary Saddledome for tonight’s Sharks’ road game, I’ll look on the bright side.

It’s so cold that Sunshine Village and Ski Lake Louise are both closed today. That’s right … closed. In Canada. It’s so cold […] Actually, I don’t think we realized that we’d be snowboarding across the Continental Divide, but we did. And we rode an express chairlift across it, as well.
