Riding above the level of mediocrity

A "duffshot" is an improperly planted sapling, planted too shallow in scree and not deep enough to reach the life giving top soil. It is usually a sign of laziness and means having to replant an entire plot. It is a reminder to me of doing things with integrity.

exerpts from my Palm:

- dinner @ The Tang's
- dinner @ Sushi Towa's
- the (successful) quest for Settler's
- lunch @ U and Me

- Casino Royale @ Chinook (this deserves special mention; my colleauge's husband works for an oil and gas company - they rented out the entire Paramount at Calgary's largest mall for all their employees, providing each with: choice of movie, popcorn, pop, Tim Horton's coffee - they couldn't go so I got the tickets instead!!!)
- Peking Duck dinner @ Ginger Beef
- squash @ U of C
- pork pull bun and deep fried pickels @ Bit T's BBQ

And with my sister's departure, COLD has become my next (unwelcomed) visitor (although it looks like she took some snow back with her to Victoria)...
