No blogging for a week means that I'm way late handing out aTeaButNoE style thanks to Ashley and Turner for entertaining me so royally in Calgary the weekend before last. Despite the first bus braking down before we left Fernie and going half the way to C-town in old school bus (rather than an old-skool bus) we did make it in the end.

Turner picked me up from downtown and whisked me back to their new home. It was great to catch up with them and to congratulate Turner in person on finishing the first draft of his book. Look out for Planet Simpson - coming to a bookstore near you soon.

The plan for the evening was a dinner party Chez Ashley et Turner. It was a simple affair for 14 people! There was delicious lamb and convivial company and it was an excellent evening. In the morning I demanded fine brunching and thats exactly what I got at Diner Deluxe: pancakes slightly larger than my head, bacon, maple syrup and delicious coffee. mmmmm good times. But before long I had to be back on the bus and back to Fernie. It was a great weekend - thanks guys!
