Right now in Calgary it is zero degrees and snowing.
And I'm up and about this early for work. But not even real, billable hours work... because two lawyers from my work on are doing the Law Society's trial advocacy course, and are running mock trials today, and recruited students to play their witnesses. The course is very similar to the one U of C does for third-years, so this is actually the same mock trial that I ran last January. So at least I know what it's about. Of course I managed to leave the script I was given in the car of the co-worker who drove me home yesterday evening, and I didn't realize that until late last night when I thought I'd get my things in order for the morning. So here's hoping E. gets my late-night email and can print me another copy.
The snow, more so than the trial, is what threatens to make the weekend really awkward. Andrew is taking next week off to go flying in Invermere, and he'd like to stay in the Boler for the week. Entirely reasonable, since that's what we bought it for. We planned to drive up together in convoy, him on his motorbike, me with the Bleep and Boler, on Friday after work, spend the weekend together, then I'd go back to the city leaving him with the trailer to live in and the motorbike to get around. Repeat in reverse the next weekend.
Except we couldn't go up on Friday with the bad weather and this trial thing this morning. If it clears up enough to drive out today it won't be so bad, at least I can spend a night out there before driving back. But if it keeps snowing all day then I'll have to drive out Sunday morning to drop the Boler and back Sunday evening and that won't be fun.
Alternate plan was, maybe Andrew can just take the Bleep and keep it all week, and I can use the motorbike to get around through the week. Only I never rode all last summer, I'm out of practice, I'm not familiar with the BMW, and I don't feel ready to drive it through dense traffic and on the highway to get to the barn just yet. I could not see Arwen for a week, while Andrew is on holidays and I have nothing else to do, but that doesn't seem like fun either.
So please send along some warm up and stop snowing vibes... this is no fun!
