So Sunday came around this week and guess what? Off to Crowsnest. On the agenda: look at progress with the building, attend a meeting with a bunch of holiday home owners, stuff ourselves at Stone's Throw and go for a late season XC ski.
1. The building is coming along. We can actually imagine sleeping in a bed, with a functioning bathroom in a civilized version of the indoor camping we have been doing for 2 years.
2. We met some really nice people with great ideas. Felt really great chatting with a group of people who's goals revolved around creating great experiences for visitors to Crowsnest Pass and trying to convince people to continue visiting in the future. You can see some of these places at: http://www.crowsnestpassholidayhomes.com
3. It is always my favourite part of visiting the Pass. Steve (Stone's Throw) and I have a gift for acting like 10 year old best-buds whenever we get together. There is nothing wrong with acting like an idiot and just laughing sometimes.
4. XC skiing: This should be a post on its own. Cross Country skiing for many is supposed to include perfect track-set conditions or it just isn't fun. The tracks were a mess but I had an awesome time. People tend to get upset when conditions aren't what they expect - enjoyment is only possible for them if everything goes as expected. Well for me in this case, I was laughing my ass off because the skis were impossible to control, there was too much grip in a couple spots and none in all the other spots. I was surrounded by a beautiful day, nature and the coolest forest anywhere. It wasn't a conscious decision like "this sucks, but I must be more positive and have a good experience." This was a tiny example of living in the moment and appreciating the fun of the unexpected in beautiful surroundings. Hey, kinda like a life lesson. Hmmmm?
Perhaps my next post will have to include a V8 engine or a motorcycle before people start thinking I'm a little fruity.
