The Winter Commute… are we Calgary folk crazy?

As winter falls upon us and Christmas starts to linger in the air I know that the weekly Fernie commute is here. I’ve driven through winter white outs, unbelievable wind storms and multiple wildlife crossings. Yet I relish the drive. This weekly road trip is a time where I can talk with my kids and spouse at length … where we shape our future and begin to decompress after the work week. And before I know, it I am sitting by the fire, a glass of wine in hand feeling the Fernie buzz.

TransRockies 2011 - HIghlights

Yesterday morning I awoke in a panic, about to put on my bike gear when I suddenly realized, "I don't have to ride today. I'm done!" Yes, that's right. Angie and I have completed the TransRockies. In so many ways the experience exceeded any expectation, which says a lot since I had years to imagine what it would be like! Here's an overview of some of my highs (and lows) of the TransRockies 2011!

Fernie Really Loves Film!

The clocks have gone forward, the evenings are warmer. As we end the film season, thoughts are turning to biking, fishing, boating; watching films becomes a lower priority. Sure, a summer night at the movies is a great way to finish off a day of fun at the beach or on the river, but the average summer flick is usually light entertainment, (emphasis on ‘light’) not the stuff of inspiration and motivation. It turns out there’s no shortage of the moments that dreams are made of though and the spring and summer are when it all kicks in to gear- it’s time to stop watching and start doing!
