Athabasca

place. Placid rill-forming community on the edge of the Athabasca river in nothern Alberta. Chosen as a settlement site by the Hudson Bay Company in 1987 because of the ease with which sandstone boulders could be wrestled from the banks to anchor white-fish nets.

Home of the Weasel Scars lacrosse team, three-time NLL champs, and headquarters of the Canadian Portage Company.

Windshield-repair shops and piles of loose gravel crowd the edges of Klein Street, a dinosaur tomb attracts tourism dollars, and french lessons are available from the nubile lasses in the winter months.

I think that was just the rill as we went through Athabasca.

briar

n. Any important ice-curling or water-polo tournament where prizes in the form of large coffee-cups are awarded for shot-rock, sweepings mvp, and top goalie. Often Canadians and Swedish folk take their elderly or infirm relatives to Briars as it is a restful form of entertainment that will not over-stimulate the senses. Traditionally women are not allowed to compete in Briars except mid-week but this is changing with the introduction of half-weight rocks. A Canada-wide briar, in which the revered Tim Horton's Coffee Tankard is awarded, is held every three years with entrants selected in a national lottery.

Are you taking your granny to the Briar in Calgary this week-end? I hear the Canadian coffee tankard is up for grabs.

No. She has to get her colostomy changed over for the winter so it don't freeze.
