Rob &
Jane's, Calgary, Alberta Rest Day
Yesterday
I woke up in Field, B.C. in a frost covered tent, beside a frozen
waterfall. This morning I'm sitting in Lunney's back yard in the hot
sun, surrounded by suburbs.
Phoned
Mom for Mother's Day. She sounds like she's still under the weather
after her cero sepsis and bad reaction to antibiotics. They kept her
in the hospital for about 10 days. She says she has no appetite.
That's bad.
On our
rest day in Calgary Doug and I didn't do a whole lot that I remember.
In the Kensington area we went for a burger and beer and it cost us
$20 each. I thought it was a bit high (being from Alberta) but Doug
thought it was userous. He was right when you compare prices in the
east. We were in Cottage Country before we ran into prices like that
again.
When we
were packing up to leave the house Doug found an item in his pocket.
Jane had put in $100 with a note that said, "mad money." We
had talked about mad money during the evening we'd spent together.
Jane had said that when she was young her mother would give her $20
mad money whenever she went out. She was not to spend it on anything
other than getting home once her fun money was gone.
We would
use this Mad Money later.
