Ha!

When I was 16 and graduated Grade 12, I got myself a job at the Banff Springs Hotel as an elevator operator lol.

They were the old elevators with the cage door inside that you had to open, and the wheel thing with the handle that you had to operate to make it move. Oh my goodness, hadn’t thought of this in ages.

We used to have to march in (a very fancy shmancy hotel at the time) to the bagpipes, complete with the pleated skirt and green jacket uniform, including white gloves. So funny. I met Simon and Garfunkel! And Alfred Hitchcock!

Yes, Banff is beautiful, as is Lake Louise.

We went to Banff about 10 years ago, I’d love to go back.
