Pics intermission

Before I post more pics, I thought I'd fill you in on how I got this weird little gig. Last monday, Melba and I were at Bryant Lake Bowl for "Cheap Date Night". Every monday, they have this deal where you get two dinners, a bottle of wine, and two games of bowling for $25. Pretty cool, especially considering the food is quite good and the wine is decent.

Anyway, BLB is usually pretty busy monday nights, and after dinner we were bowling next to an interesting couple in the next lane. We started chatting with them, and after introductions, the inevitable "so... where ya from? what do you do?" questions were asked. I mentioned my previous work/home in LA, and Oslo mentioned that he was in town from Alaska. He also mentioned that he was looking for someone with my blend of media skills for a few projects he is working on, and after a few minutes of talking, we decided to meet again the next morning for breakfast - again at the BLB.

Oslo and I chatted for about two hours the next morning, and the short version of our conversation was that he was interested in my help with a video project he is working on, and it happened to involve driving RVs through the Canadian Rockies and up to Alaska. Oh, and he was leaving the next day.

I volunteered almost immediately.

So here I am, tapping out a blog post at 2am on a Sunday night, in an idling RV in Whitecourt, Alberta on my way to Anchorage. Funny how life can change.
