I have been planning a day trip to Montana ever since I moved to Crowsnest Pass a little over a year ago.  In the grand scheme of things, I want to visit the continental 49 states, a bucket list item.  … Continue reading

Last Monday, I decided that I would withdraw from the application process for the Managers position at BDO.  The Director and CIO asked me my reasoning and they gave me their full support. Starting sometime on Tuesday, I had a … Continue reading
