Church. Chicken. Cycles.

Yesterday my folks and I went to First Assembly church.

First is my favourite church and it's always great to be able to visit when I'm in town.  Some of the most amazing people I know I met there and it's always good to see them again.  Jessica DiSabatino was guest speaking and half way through her sermon a kid pulled the fire alarm, so everyone had to evacuate.  Then, like a cliché, we went for chicken.

After chicken, my dad wanted to show me the new parking garage at SAIT.  I went to SAIT over a decade ago and it looks like they've made some amazing changes since I roamed the campus.  What they did here was built a parking garage on a soccer field and then turned the roof of it back into a soccer field.  The outside is covered with giant engineered plates that have holes punched in them, bent at different angles to produce a picture of clouds.  You can see the soccer net bordering the top of the parkade.

Then it was bike shopping time because mom wanted a new bike for cruising.  It took a few hours and two stores, but eventually Bow Cycle had the perfect ride.

They also had unicycles.

After that, we went to my Uncle Derrick and Aunt Mardo's place for a visit and huge feast.  And I mean huge feast.  I also got to see the new house they're building in Bear's Paw which is far from finished, but will be amazing when it's done.

After publishing another Two Minute Tech Trip this morning, dad and I attacked the renos in the first bathroom and got the tub in, plumbing checked and walls ready for tile!

I sure do miss my true love.
