Birthday week and concerts

We just finished Niki's birthday week. I think it was lots of fun and am pretty sure Niki enjoyed marking another year down. We had a nice big party at my parents. Her family and myself got her an iphone. We saw Rose Cousins and Amelia Curran. Subway even decided to give out free breakfasts in honour of Niki. The BNL show with Joel Plaskett was great, thank you Angela for taking us. Mat Andersen can do amazing things with a guitar. If you're a blues fan, go see him! Of course there were also a few meals out with friends, so the need to exercise is feeling more pressing. Especially because we partook of DQ's buy a Blizzard and get a second one for 0.25c multiple times.
Everyone should go check out all the Canadian music artists that are touring right now. The Rose Cousins show was inexpensive and well worth it. There is so much good stuff out there, watch your local music scene. Lots of nice small shows of all genres. Check out the artists pages I linked. They are all a good night out, and you don't have to break the bank.
On the personal side, there is a clinic that opened up near our house, so I've finally found a family doctor. I don't know if anyone else has gone a good decade without a family doctor, but I don't recommend it. Apparently I am healthy, which is good, but I'm getting blood work done. I feel like a car that's been sent to the mechanics for work after sitting for too long.
Cheers,
Scott

Heaven in Alberta

It's been a while since the last update about life in Alberta. The weather has turned and we're in the double digits temperature wise. There's been a lot of Settlers games, Canada won a crap load of gold medals, we learned how to curl, there was some cross country skiing in there, Lindsay came to visit for easter, and then some more games. Anyone wearing a viking hat has been victorious in whatever we were playing. Rather than write out everything thing we did, as usual, I just embedded the photo albums.
Cheers,
Scott
