Old Albertan Crawl

So, it seems that Albertans are some of the kindest and most
hospitable people in Canada. Obviously a thankful nod should be given
to Rob and Fran and Rich and the beautiful people of Saskatoon before
we get to the Albertans but it's hard to think when there's a stack of
Danishes in front of you.

On Thursday, Andrea's family were nice enough to let us loiter on the
hardwood floors and couches of their beautiful suburban Edmonton home.
And last night we were treated like kings in Calgary, with beer and
pizza to greet us at Jules and Eric's cozy cottage house. It really
rejuvinates your van-overloaded mind when people go out of their way
to make you feel comfortable at their home. Thank you. A million times
thank you.

The shows have been great too. Been able to try out each of the new
songs once so far and will keep doing so as the tour progresses. Oh,
and we had a good time performing at the Calgary radio station
yesterday too.

Onto Canmore later today, but not before some much needed R&R. Taking
it easy with coffee and Danishes, showers and laundry. What a life.
