I made it ! Yesterday was shutdown day around the world. We joined together to take a day away from our computers , as a social experiment, just to see the personal and community impact it moght have. I found it very difficult to start my day without checking emails, blogs and read online news. I was a bit out of sorts but my beloved and I had planned a day in the mountains and after the short hour drive to Canmore we had a great day. The sun was peeking through the mountain fog but were still able to have lunch on the patio at Grizzly Paw and take a stroll on some great trails along the river.
On our return to Calgary (on highway 1A) we passed the Ghost Reservoir where we saw a crazy dude ice skiing with a parasail. He was one cross country skis holding a big yellow sail scooting across the frozen reservoir at very high speeds.
We were able to cap our day by spending some time at the park with three of our grandsons. It was an interesting experiment, I am interested to see the comments and photos that will be up on shutdownday.org, but I am glad to have my laptop fired up this morning to read 46 emails, check out 54 blog entries and gander at the NYT magazine and Globe.
