... team players and watched their gams. The standard is relatively high on the physical front but they do not take that much care of lineouts and scrums which seem weird. However the real challenge of the games looked to be coping with the heat and the sun because we were finding it difficult and we were just watching. After the game to firsts took us out to the best sports bar of all time. They then set up a trailor trash party at the club which we had to ...

... the budget to shop, we walked around and went to spend money on my favourite thing instead: food! Dann took me to a vietnamese restaurant that makes the tastiest Pho noodle soup. We went back to his and Melissa's apartment to digest, and we went to meet her once she was off work. We cancelled our plan to go out for drinks because the three of us were pretty tired, and opted instead for a movie night, which turned out to be a relaxing dose of normalcy for me. We ...

... my life easier and short changing myself from potential development. Have you ever had your calculator fail and had to perform long hand division? If you didn't bother to learn it or heaven forbid, forgotten how, then you may be sorry. A cake doesn't bake itself. A house doesn't build itself. How can one believe that they are entitled to success without the investment of effort? Is it reasonable to expect progress without at least creating an environment in which it can thrive? I am ...

Our first day saw us head to the rockies and take on Chinamans peak. If we we're hoping for a gentle walk we were sorely disappointed. Almost 2 hours of steep uphill saw me nearly pass out from exhaustion. A combination of lack of fitness, Fatigue and my cold combined to make it a less than pleasant ...

March 2 (still!). Our good friends and neighbours, John and Ailsa Kelly picked us up at the airport. It was so nice to see friendly, smiling faces to greet us. There was still lots of snow on the ground and it was -12C when we got home. It could ...

It is finally starting to set in; what I'm about to do. My first real feeling of sadness in a long time. I can put an exact time on the moment I finally realized what I'm doing. For the first time, I've taken my eyes of the target long enough to see what I have, what I'm leaving behind, and I became sad. It's a good thing I wasn't writing this yesterday because the tone would have been a whole lot ...

... i.e. I’m looking for work.

2) I’m obsessed with the ‘north country’ and the Arctic Circle in particular, which I have yet to reach. I came close last year in Fairbanks, though, and seeing the northern lights upon arrival was the thrill of a lifetime. I’ll be heading toward the Northwest Territories after the music festival, all of which lies above 60 degrees N ...

... enigma I have no direction but forward, even if I have no clue where that may be. I suppose to most people This might be a frightening concept, Not knowing even what country i may be in 5 months from now, Here I've directed my whole life in the past 2 years slowly towards this Objective, An objective without a goal, And while I will admit It has as well contributed to my sleepless nights, At this point in my life, The only thing that would leave me ...

... that my body is changing. I can't really see a difference and I don't think I have lost any weight. But I feel more together and solid. My clothes don't seem to even fit any different but I know that I am stronger. Just thinking about that horrible feeling of being poisoned was enough to make me a lot more mindful of what crosses my lips. I am coming to the realization that I must have always felt this way when I have regarded my diet with ...

... Mounties. This was my first Mountie sighting, outside of tourist stores that is. Brad was very excited and chased them down the street and came back reporting that there had been female Mounties too. Just outside of Hope we hit a massive snowstorm. Snow was pelting the car and you could hardly see in front of you. The snow calmed down after a bit but it kept snowing for most of the rest of the weekend. We were all a bit excited about so much snow and were talking about ...
