The journey begins with meetinng the Canadian flight nurses. Dave has concluded that in genral Canadian nurses are 50-80 lbs better looking than most US nurses.

Airline food a la Denny's. Somehow I'm not sure "regular diet" from the hospital's point of view included a club sandwich and oinion rings, BUT:

The Tetons. The piolet could see JH ski runs, but the glare from the sun was intense.

Most leg room I've had on a flight.

Yeah!! The Saddledome (or whatever they are calling it these days) and OUR mountains on the horizon.

Where's my ambulance. We sat on the tarmac for 1 3/4 hours until Calgary Health Region managed to free up a transfer vehicle. Yeah socialized medicine. (not)
Well, Thats all I wrote fer now. I can't concentrate cuz Dave is using his packing tape gun to box up skies. I think mntlion is getting better and slowly getting back into business. (and he's really board, walking around the block isn't that exciting in spite of how exhausiting it is.)
Thanks for all the support gang and we'll see a bunch of you at Freshtivale at the MSP show.
B:p
