Rubbed one out imagining a romp with Barb Higgins, or Tammy Christopher or Brienne Hurlburt. What - too personal?

cycled from Sikome Lake to the Bearspaw Dam and back.

ignored the Calgary Stampede completely.

climbed the 150 steps to the top of the Douglas Fir Trail with a bike on your back.

ridden the #1 bus line at midnight in winter

toured the old Calgary Herald building downtown when it was actually the home of the Calgary Herald.

swam laps on a sunny, summer morning at the outdoor pool in Stanley Park.

succeeded in business in Calgary.

ran for a few hours in Fish Creek Park, including a trot along the Bow, early on a sunny Saturday or Sunday morning in the summer. Or a sunny winter day too.

seen a broadway musical from the first ten rows at the Jubiliee

ditto to that one earlier about public skating at the Oval.

puked on the roof of the Glenbow Museum . . . . but why dredge up ancient history.

The Calgary Stampede can be repetitive if you've reached a certain age . . . .

Looked out to the west on a clear fall day, noticed the mountains are white, and gotten the itch for ski season to start.

Or served pancakes at a Stampede breakfast.

Or been at a Stamps/Roughies or BOA game.

Or wanted to kill some idiot for driving the speed limit in the left lane on Deerfoot.

Construction ... road, high rise, suburbs, malls, you name it.

(I didn't read every page so apologies for any redundancies. These are some of the things that define Calgary for me though.)

Poached the illegal singletrack on Nose Hill and in Fish Creek Park. You must survive the Pretzel.

Remember when there was only 1 Bankers Hall...

Caught a Garter snake at Edworthy Park

You've skated on an outdoor rink that was 60% slush
