Only a 2-day weekend?

This is odd.  I only had a regular 2-day weekend this weekend.  That means that I have to work a 5-day work week this coming week.  I am not sure when the last time I did that was – sometime … Continue reading

I’m coming home…

You know, I now consider Calgary home, so, the title of this entry may be misleading. I have booked my flight to Ontario in September.  The primary purpose of this trip is an IT Conference so the flight and my … Continue reading

Another long weekend

The last time that I worked a 5 day work week was in the middle of July.  I have had a few 4 days weeks in there which, of course means, a long weekend.  This weekend is no exception. I … Continue reading

Moving Downtown?

Well, I have been without a vehicle for nearly a month now.  Not a whole lot of fun really.  I like being able to get around wherever I want, whenever I want without having to follow someone else’s schedule.  Transit … Continue reading

Grande Prairie

I woke up this morning at 03:30.  Fairly early, yes.  I had my alarm set for 04:00, but, I guess I was sort of excited.  I had not been on a plane since about 1992 when I flew to California. … Continue reading
