An ALS Ice Bucket Challenge – Batman Style

In memory of Grandpa #ALS

I’m not sure what possessed me to don a partial Batman suit. My children’s future therapists can figure that out.

But, late as always, I decided to partake in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, not only because Clay Morgan challenged me to, but also because my paternal grandfather died from ALS.

Watch it. Then donate. If not to ALS, to somewhere.

Twenty-four hours after filming this, Calgary was deluged with snow.

The same location looked like this:

Sorry if I summoned the ice gods.
Sorry if I summoned the ice gods.

    Very Dylanesque.

    Wearing the mask I am not sure if that was you or Patti. I think it was Patti.

    AWESOME!! You rock Bat-Woman. True story, a student of mine randomly showed me a picture of Calgary this morning and snow all over the place. I said, “I have a friend there!” Then thought, I wonder if she’s going to actually pour ice cold water on herself. You are my favorite Canadian ๐Ÿ˜€

    Leanne, I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: you’re totally my favorite.

    Hi Leanne. Well done.

    I like Calgary in the spring, summer and fall. The other ten months not so much.
