Hoodie = hooded sweatshirt = bunny hug = kangaroo jacket = instant heat = amazing invention

It's one of those strangely typical ever-changing Calgary days when, in a matter of minutes, a front has rolled through and the temperature has plummetted. And all the windows are open. And now it's cold inside.

Simple energy-efficient two-step remedy:
(1) Close windows. (2) Put on hoodie.

Where else but in Canada...

...would you expect to, downtown in a city of a million people, happen upon an argument between two Canada geese and a beaver? Seems that the beaver is trying to dam the Elbow River but the geese, having built a nest close by, are playing the NIMBY card.

Throw 'em in Flames jerseys and park their respective SUV's close by, and you'd swear they were human.

A Winter of Endless Long Weekends

The down side of banking huge amounts of lieu time at work is that you're eventually forced to cash in on it. The up side is that you're eventually forced to cash in on it.

Our long weekends through February and March took us to Jasper, Yellowknife, Waterton, Lake Louise, Kelowna, and (unexpectedly) the Columbia Brewery in Creston, BC.

As close to the action as you can get!

No, that's not a V for Victory, it's a '2'... as in 2nd row at the Saddledome. Watching NHL hockey can be exciting. Actually being at the game is even better. But when you're seated in the second row, holy shnykies, it's like watching a completely different sport. A couple of frosty beers with good friends, a winning effort by the Flames, and you've got a near-perfect evening!

mmm... cinnamon buns

Welcome to StranMcCann!

Our first-ever blog posting. The cell phone (obtained only a month ago) brought us up-to-date with 90's technology, and this should bring us even more up to date. Could it be that StranMcCann has finally entered the 21st Century?
