this morning i got up early and went for a walk to clear my head. i had a lot of thinking to do on this vacation. when i came back everyone was still in bed (noonish). then we went shopping at west edmonton mall. i had to buy a sweater. in my infinate wisdom i had only brought 1 long-sleeved shirt and the weather was not what we expected. the nights were cold. we saw vanessa, and she's still doing very well. my mom cried when she saw her the first time on this trip, because when we moved away she was still in the hospital undergoing extensive physical therapy for a bad car accident. now she's walking, but she takes a lot of muscle relaxants and its very hard work for her.

i saw a lot of old friends who didn't recognize me because the last time we saw each other was 5-10 years ago. some of them even came up and introduced themselves. the looks on their faces were priceless when i told them they already knew me, and who i was. we went to moxie's tonight, and brian and dave still wait tables there.
