Dave's short, long weekend

I'm not quite sure whether to count this as a long weekend or a short one, as I really haven't had any time to just sit and veg. My now former roommate, moved out Friday morning, and I decided to take advantage of that to do a little upsizing to obtain some more space. Thankfully this move didn't even involve leaving the house, but was still a decent amount of work. (Perhaps I'm a bit too pack-ratty as far as books are concerned). I also needed to fill in some furniture gaps. No more 27" TV in the main area - the only one here now is my little 20". (Hopefully the smaller the TV, the more productive I get. We'll see)

Darren and Shena (et al). were in town for the weekend, so, of course, we ended up hanging out for a while. I mentioned before my theory that the number of photos that I take is inversely proportional to distance from Darren, and the weekend seemed to bear that out. We made it out to Banff and beyond - to Field actually - but with few trains. Blame the broken coupler (?) around the Spiral Tunnels, and the locomotive that caught fire on the main line closer to Calgary. (Almost caught that fire on "film"... blame the poor road access to the tracks in the vicinity which meant that the fire department just beat us).

P.S. If you're looking to childproof your place, a good place to start might be to ensure that there are no axes (yes, plural!) lying on your floor. (One's really a hatchet, but close enough...)

P.P.S. I couldn't help but note that Darren couldn't help but cheer on a certain team Saturday night.
