After being cooped up for a day or two and without a decent walk under my belt for a few days I headed off at 6pm on a walk around the small Calgary suburb of Tuscany where Andrew and Naomi live.
On my trek, I was supposed to walk up a hill about 30 minutes away to the grocery store to get some bread and stuff before calling home for a pick up.
So I walk outside and look around to get my bearings and decide that even though Ive never gone right at the intersection, my keen sense of direction says that I can get there faster and more efficiently if I go further into the suburb and out at the grocery store.
Unsurprisingly after an hour of walking I still hadn't made it to the shop and was probably further away than when I started, thanks mainly to a heap of dead ends and caldersacks on the way.
The walk was pretty sweet though as I got to cruise the streets looking at all the Christmas lights that where up and even helped Emma out when I shoveled the last meter and a bit of snow in her drive way.
"I'm not lost ... but misplaced" was my text message SOS and 15 minutes later I was extracted by Andrew before we hit up the grocery store which happened to be 150m away, right around the corner.
As I mentioned, the walk was amazing. I had my iPod on, so while I didn't get to listen to the silence of a suburban winters night, the walk was nice with my favourite tunes singing in my eardrums. The cold was refreshing too, and while it was probably in the negative, I was adequately dressed and so was toasty warm underneath.
