  Please support me in the 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer - last year we were able to raise $6.9 million for the Alberta Cancer Foundation - hopefully we can raise even more in 2010!

The Norman family got back into town yesterday, and I’ve spent the time since then crunching through the bounty of photos taken on the trip. I’ll probably post something about the various things we did, but in the meantime, here’s the Flickr slideshow of the 290 surviving photos.

I'm heading out of town on vacation for a few days. Offline. No phone. No internet. No Flickr. No RSS. I'll have to settle for sun, sand, and mai tais. I'm going as far as disabling comments on my blog while I'm away, because I don't want to have to even think about punting spam before Google indexes it. There shall be no spam while I'm on vacation.

I'll see you on the 21st! I'm sure I'll have a couple photos to post to Flickr. Maybe even an entire set or two. 

Got back from Peachland last night. Had a great week relaxing in Okanogan wine country – even though the lake was too cold to actually go into the water. That was a bit tortuous for Evan, but he adapted OK. Thankfully, there were LOTS of rocks to throw into the water…

I wound up taking way too many photographs – probably took 1000 shots, nuking 90% of them and really liking only about half of the survivors. I was driving Janice nuts by dragging my “camera purse” everywhere. But I got some shots that I’m really happy with. I’m not going to write a long, boring (especially to me) post recapping the week. That’s why I took pictures.

I will say that the drivers along the BC Highway 97 between Kelowna and Pentiction are evil, aggressive, and just plain mean. Worse even than the psychos frequenting Calgary’s Deerfoot Trail. This is Wine Country, in small lakeside communities. Chill out already. We saw 2 fatality accidents as a result of these maniacs.

Then, the morning after we get back to Calgary, I get this:

I’m packing up and heading to the interior of BC for a week. The family will be hiding out in a lakeside cabin with no phones or internet. Although apparently there’s wifi nearby. Dangit. I’ll have to bring the Powerbook to offload photos from the camera, so will have to fight the urge to check in. See you in a week, internets!
