Edmonton, 2024

We flew out to Edmon­ton this past week­end. Arrived Thurs­day after­noon, got to the rental car place, which was—predictably—out of the com­pact cars that I rent­ed. For the same price, they gave us a Mustang.

(What a ridicu­lous car.)

High­lights of the weekend:

• Hang­ing out with family
• Teach­ing Gra­cie to play crib
• Spend­ing 28 hours at the West Edmon­ton Mall, most of it at the Ice Palace where they set up the judo mats
• Pass­ing my Nation­al B ref­er­ee evaluation
• Pret­zels with cin­na­mon sugar
• A walk with Juliana to see hoodoos in the city
• See­ing Mary at the airport—she was fly­ing out to Edmon­ton on the same plane we’d just returned on 
• Park ‘n’ Fly washed our car while we were away

As always: it’s fun to trav­el, but it’s sure nice to be home. Tomor­row is gonna be laun­dry day.
