R.I.P. Canal

Well, we're nearing the beginning of Spring here. The city closed the Rideau Canal for skating today... it was very sad. We've been skating a fair bit lately, as we knew this was coming, but that didn't stop some (well, one) (very manly) tears from flowing.

The Canal brought people together... in a BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY!

The weather wasn't always this nice...

It's looking like it might be the end of the skiing season soon as well. I managed to get in two sessions this weekend, both of which neatly fit into to a 48-hour gap in my health insurance. Nothing like good planning! We're thinking of doing a weekend at Mont Tremblant, a big ski hill in Quebec, as a celebration for getting our work visas. We'll let you know how that eventuates.

It's hard to tell if the snow will last though... March weather here is traditionally crazy. Looking at the forecast for this week, we've got rain, sun, snow, sleet, and temperatures from +12 to -17. Kinda hard to make any outdoorsy plans.

Anyway, other than that life continues as normal. I've just come through a fairly hectic spell at work, and have been taking it easy the last couple of days. I'm back to working one job though, so things should be a little more sane. I'll tell you all about my new job sometime.
