Katie, Tamara and I headed out this weekend to the Banff Mountain Film Festival. This is my fifth year in a row! After some kitty struggles on Saturday morning, we got a late start to the weekend, but we only missed a couple movies. After the films we checked-in to the Bow View Hotel picked up some wine and dinner and proceeded to get shitty. We went to the Rose and Crown and danced 'til we were sweaty to the funk and soul sounds of Urban Divide.
This morning I woke up with a touch of a hangover but got over it quickly. We caught all but the first and last of the Sunday movies, including the People's Choice Award winner "Asiemut." This was a fantastic film made by a young lovely couple who biked 8000 km across Asia. They were such captivating people and their love was so strong, it was so moving to see them succeed. I also really enjoyed the 12 minute film called "Ride of the Mergansers", which documented the challenging first 24 hours of a hooded merganser's life.
In all, the films didn't have the oomph of previous years, but they were all really great. I will be sure to be there again next year.

- Now on career number 3, stay at home mom. I tried my hand at geology and then wine making, but this one seems like this career picked me. I've got a Big boy named Atticus, who is 3. He is curious, sweet and funny and soaks up information like a sponge. My little Pippa is 1 and so far appears to be a very driven girl who knows what she wants. My "husband", Chaminda, and I talk about getting married some day but obviously we're not in a hurry.
