Bridging the gap between Alberta and Ontario

This is my attempt to sever the information gap that exists between my friends and family outside of Edmonton (and friends in Edmonton). For those people that really know me, know how I hate not being involved with my friends and families lives. I am not a nosey person, I just like knowing what is going on, plus a little gossip never hurts. You have to admit, when you live four provinces away and your friends and family NEVER call you, yet they say that they will, well it hurts. It even angers me when I call them and ask the common question "what’s new?" and get responses that include, nothing and same old same old. Then months later, you find out second hand that two months ago someone won a large amount of money at a casino, got engaged, died or is sick. Now if they would have mentioned this when the common question (what’s new?) was initially asked, then there would be no merit to the anger and hurtful thoughts. Therefore, I will be posting some of my many happy, embarrassing, hysterical/comical thoughts and actions so that people can at least know what is happening in my life, even if they don't care to confront me one-on-one.
