Wordless Wednesday: Goodbye Childhood

April 11, 2012 | Edmonton Tourist

My son turns 16 on Friday. When he was small he played endlessly with Thomas the Tank Engine. He pulled them out for me tonight and I enjoyed watching him set up and we reminisced about acquiring different pieces. He never plays with them anymore…but he will never let me part with them. His forever friends.

It was so so so good to be back at the Fringe! My first one was 1988. It’s changed a lot, the gazebo isn’t the main stage anymore- there’s a actual stage now. The vibe is the same and people are still doing their thing and embracing the weird. I saw a half woman half big horn sheep today and a zombie bride. I ate green onion cakes and sat in the beer tent for the first time in my life. Keep doing new things. Saw three plays so far, Crisp Trepidation and the Musical for the Endtimes both are well worth your time and super fun shows. Crisp Trepidation is better but I might be biased. Link in bio for tickets. The other one was the weirdest show I’ve seen since 1988. I don’t recommend that one. Fringe on friends 9 days left! @musicalfortheendtimes @thecampfireanthology #crisptrepidation
