Disturbing

Well, today’s trip to Edmonton went not too badly.  There isn’t anything like spending 6+ hours on the road for an hour and a half meeting though…driving the Dodge Caravan of style!!

As I was driving north this morning a Honda CRV pulled on to the highway in front of me, maybe an hour out of Edmonton.  Her driving was interesting…nothing too crazy erratic, but every once in awhile she’d pull a manoeuvre that made you think she wasn’t quite paying attention.

When we hit the south side of Edmonton we wound up stopping at a light.  I looked over at her and she was taking a massive swig out of what was unmistakeably a bottle of vodka.  It was a large clear glass bottle with red metal at the neck.  Once she was done she grabbed a bottle of water and took a swig out of that.  It was 9:30 am.  Sad…

On to happy things.  When I made it back to town I hit up the Y for a round of strength training.  I focused on upper body and worked hard.  Once my arms felt sufficiently like jello it was time to go, and I picked up some sushi on my way home.  Keep your fingers crossed for me that I can make it to the pool tomorrow morning!

Happy birthday to my mom!!!  Thursday is her birthday.  And to all my American friends, I hope you guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
