Miss me? Missed you!
I have finally returned to the land of blogging. Here's a quick run down on what's been going on since you last visited.
Lots of stuff happened. Bye.
I'm hilarious! To the right is a picture of the first tee box for the Mount Lorette 18 at the breathataking Kananaskis golf course where I was lucky enough to golf a couple of weeks back. Now, I'm not a super rich celebrity or ultra loaded business woman so you might be thinking to yourself, 'how on earth could the samster afford to golf at such a pristine course?' Funded my heritage money, the course is actually very affordable even to us hard working middle class folk. It was such a great day and, unlike other goflers who measure the succes of a round of golf by keeping score, I measure mine by the number of lost balls, which was only 1 (and I managed to par a hole!)
Other stuff went down, eating, sleeping, drinking, volunteering, partying, meditating, exercising, working, reading, writing etc.... but the highlight had to be the folk festival. This being my first folk festival I purchased a four day pass and decided to see what would happen. Lots happened! Too much to blog about but the highlights were the people watching and dancing in the rain on Sunday night. Participated in the tarp run a couple of days which was super interesting. It entailed arriving very early (5 am on one day) and waiting in line where I met some cool people, was interviewed by BBC radio which aired later that day, and picked up a few tricks of the trade that will be useful next year. I got a kick out of how eager everyone was to get a good spot, but wasn't too impressed with those who's determination had a negative affect on themselves and eveyone around them. If you know me best, then you're aware that there are very few things I think are worth rushing for, so as everyone ran, I sauntered while watching the rushing herd fight for valuable land space. That definitely made it worth the time and effort.
Finally, it's been a pleasant surprise to learn that I have people in my life who care about what I have to say! Yay! This was bought to my attention by the number of inquiries I've received as to why I haven't been blogging. I adore you guys!
