kitchen_kinkWell, alive, anyway.
For those of you who don't know, I just got back from a week's vacation in Banff. For those of you who don't know what that is, no, it has nothing to do with the X-Men. Banff is a Canadian national park in the Rockies, close to Calgary, the site of the 1988 Winter Olympics. ('88? '84? Actually, I can't remember.)
I don't really have it in me today to begin recapping, but I will be doing somewhat recappy reports of the trip, informed by the more immediate impressions I wrote in my paper journal while there.
For now, I'm happy to be back East. Yesterday morning, the temperature reading on the rear view mirror of the giant SUV we'd rented read -27 C. (That's, like, 72 in dog years.) Today, for the first time in months, I stepped outside without buttoning my jacket. No evidence remains that the so-called blizzard ever happened. (I don't believe in it.)
So today I'm just chillin' at work, getting over some mild jetlaggy feelings, and feelin' pretty good. Not terribly articulate, but good.
I shall return after some sleep.

Date: 2003-02-26 10:13 pm (UTC)ok, so two things about this paragraph. when i first read it, i was also talkign to David (Kaz's other sweetie), and i was randomly mousing around and unconciously highlighted the words I attached crampons . a relatively random phrase to just sit by itself, all highlighted in purple.
and tonight when i got to the post to respond to it, i read it quickly and saw it as I attached crayons.
go fig.
but it sounds like you had way more fun in the snow and ice than we had here. to which i can only say two things:
1. go, you!
and
2. you bitch. (but in the sweetest way)

mrowr? was i being particularly witty or something? i have no recollection. very zen. or incipient alzheimers. one or the other....
let's talk about it more at Kaz's party.
