Seasons CheerI flew to Van­cou­ver to visit fam­ily for the hol­i­days and this time I carted my cat Lana with me. Christ­mas itself went off with­out a hitch and was joined with the usual huge turkey din­ner, assorted gifts, a few rounds of good wine and gen­eral mer­ri­ment.

The lit­tle dif­fer­ences between cities fas­ci­nate me. Cal­gary has rav­en­ous mag­pies to replace the seag­ulls of Van­cou­ver.
