Also, this is a bike we just bought for Yuriko at a garage sale for $5 - basket included.

I Guess I am Making this Up

Well, I discovered yesterday that the dead dog story is not true. Tiffany called it. I guess I've unwittingly done my part in spreading the urban legend...

Bday in Calgary

This past weekend we headed out to Calgary to visit friends, eat good sushi, and celebrate my birthday. We booked a hotel through hotwire. Hotwire is a website were you can specify the area you want to stay in and the star-rating of the hotel you want. It will then give you a cheap price - and only after you pay will it tell you the name of the hotel that you are staying at. It's kind of fun.

Anyways, here are some pics of the weekend:

I'm not making this up...

My coworker's friend had this happen to her in Regina:

She was babysitting for a family while the parents were away on a trip. Before the parents had left they let her know that their dog was very old and may pass away while she was there. Well, the dog did pass away and the babysitter called the parents asking what to do. They told her the place to take the remains. Now, the babysitter didn't have a car, so she put the dog (a golden retriever) in a suitcase and took the bus. A man helped her onto the bus and commented how heavy the suitcase was. "It's full of computer parts," she said. It so happened that the man who had helped her was getting off at the same stop, and offered to help with the suitcase again. After the bus had driven away, the man punched the babysitter in the face and ran away with the suitcase of "computer parts". Dissapointing day for him.
