The storm named John

Well its been a few days since I've had time to post a blog. What can I say..I've been busy.
My trip to Edmonton went well and mother nature behaved. No snow, ice or fog. The thing to watch out for was a storm named John.

I left Edmonton with enough time to pop in and see my friend John M, in Sylvan Lake, on the way home. I met him in Australia and it had been awhile since we had chatted. A few beers and some fun yakking and then he unleashed the storm. An 33 year old limited edition, single malt scotch. I am only human, resistance was futile. Calgary would have to wait until morning. I'll get you back for that John M. and will return the expensive hang over! Nice to see you again, thanks for the spare room and the headache ya bugger!

Your pic is now up so others can be warned...you're bad news bud!!
I think the last time we partied that hard was my birthday bash at the Manley Boatshed in Sydney Australia. As I write this "The lonely planet" , with Ian Wright, is on The Outdoor Life Network and they are doing a show about Australia. It makes me miss the land down under even more. Time to plan a return trip.

The rest of the weekend has been tying loose ends on some projects and a couple of shows.
I managed to take in the Just for Laughs road show that came through town.
There was not a weak link in the whole line up and it was an awesome show. Well done lads! They have a few more cities to hit yet so you may be able to still catch it. Check www.hahaha.com for more info.

Later kids
