Normally less than a 20 minute drive, it took me an hour to get to my parents' house today.
My sister made it in from Mexico, so I was going over to visit her. But the Whitemud was backed up all the way up Fox Drive. A big traffic poo. Jam. Whatever. So I thought I would be clever and go east rather than west, and cut through Riverbend out to highway 60 and up to my folks' place. But I wound up having to go all the way down to Devon and over, adding 80 kms to my drive. So not the smrtest thing I've ever done, but at least I come by it honestly- my Mom decided to take us out to Red Lobster and accidentally took us to the Olive Garden instead.
It was good to see Diney, she is doing well. She's here for a whole month so I will get to see her lots.
