Week 2

The COUSaders were on a roll, marching steadily towards Calgary. We were all enjoying the view of the Rockies, the quaintness of Banff, the fresh smell of...cookies. That over-powering aroma of chocolate chip cookies! We saw the wild, hungry look in Dave's eyes and knew we were doomed. Dave tried to fudge. He tried to lie. "Yeah, we can...uh..post our steps on Speakwell P-E-D while we are here, yeah, that's what we can do!" The team tried to move him forward. Jessica used all her secret Ninja yoga moves to steer Dave away from the cafe. Make tired to tackle Dave but was swatted away like a fly. Stephen conjured the power of his SCI-FI book but it was of no avail. It was too late. The "ding-ding" of the cafe door chimes rang the closing bell on our cross-country walking adventure. We were morose. But to make thing worse, we saw The Red Hot Chilli Steppers walk past the cafe, completely immune to the effects of fresh baked goods. What steely resolve! What were we to do? We quickly devised a plan. Buying cookies from every bakery, deli and Girl Guide around, we made a trail of cookies, spacing them 10 steps apart. Before long, we were back on track and heading towards Calgary. It's OK to love cookies.
