Two Questions That’ll Make You Think

The Two Answers

My friend Stone is in town again.  He’s staying with us.  Damn those cheap airfares!

Friday night we gathered up the usual posse and went to TCLion’s pub downtown.  The food there has gotten worse, though the beer is as good as ever.  Between five of us, we drank 3 pitchers plus one extra beer.  Did I mention the pitchers were 4 LITERS EACH?  That’s about 2.5 liters of beer per person.  Woah.  Susie had diet coke, and deserves a medal for putting up with us.

Today, I conned, I mean, convinced, Stone to help me buy and put up some Christmas lights outside the house.  Boris came over and we played Heroscape, a fabulous board game with attacking armies and dragons and samurais and elves.  It’s superbly genre-less

We also played whth my camera’s macro lens (pictures to follow) and had sushi twice.

But the big thing was the Banff Mountain Film Festival, which was in town this weekend.  Susie stayed home because of headache, but I really enjoyed it.  The best film was probably the ice climbers who went ice climbing on ice bergs.  They were, how you say, INSANE?

Goodnight!
