News from the front...
January 13, 2004
Well, not a whole lot of news from up north. I am in Calgary, Alberta for a week. I travel here once a month to visit the home office of the CCSB so that they can get a good look at me. More accurately, it means that a week each month I have to get up early, shave, drink coffee, eat breakfast, and generally act like a grown-up. But hey, its only a week...
It is a nice departure this month as the weather here is decidedly warmer than it is in Montreal. The cold snap that has hit the Northeast has extended to Montreal in the worst way, and last week we dealt with high temperatures at around -10� F. Now, that may seem like just a number. You may say, "Well, when it gets a certain temperature it doesn't matter". Wrong. I tend to use the bradleyboy scale of cold. It measures the misery of conditions by how fast the inner workings of your nose freeze up. And, in 10 below weather, it takes about 2.74 seconds for every drop of snot to solidify. As of this writing it has apparently warmed up to 10� above, but the weather outlook is not so good. Here in Calgary, they are experiencing what is known as a Chinook, where warm winds come off the mountain and the temps rise ( a balmy 40� F today).
For those of you interested, we are in the process of wedding plans. One thing I hope to do in the next week or so is get a wedding page up with info about travel, hotels, registry and the like. Check back soon...
