Back to Calgary

I just recently returned to Calgary. I was away visiting my sister, Heather It was very nice. She lives up in Whitehorse. It was very cold there, they broke a new cold record for the city, -43. I don't even need to say farenheit or celsius because they are the same at -40. I noticed that people up there don't bother to say the minus. I guess no one is goint to get confused and think it is really plus forty.

It was a very good break, getting away from the rat race and all. Though I did get a little bit of cabin fever since you couldn't leave the house. Mostly I just drank my brother-in-laws' beer and watched TV. The activities I did participate in were: going to baby swim at the pool with my sister and her daughter Cadence, dog sledding with Yukon Dave and Chad, my sister's husband, and going to see the Arrogant Worms at the Nakai Cultural Centre. The Arrogant Worms are a musical comedy troop from Kingston, Ontario. They had good material, but I don't think that they were feeling it.

I return to work tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to it, even though I know it will be good for me. Too much time with nothing to do is bad for my mental health. I went in to work yesterday because I needed to borrow my boss' car, and my bosses (I have two) told me they were taking me to dinner on the 19th. I am worried that they want to tell me something. I try not to think about it too much, because I would probably geuss completely wrong.

A nice surprise I got on returning home was that I found out I have to move. The owner of the place I am renting has decided to sell. Luckily I can stay until the end of April, so there is plenty of time to find new digs. I am undecided whether I should continue living with roommates, or find something on my own. My current roommates have expressed interest in getting a new place all together, so maybe that will be a solution.

That's all I got in me now,
Bill
