Week #2
Ok, I’m entering my second week here out in the Prairies and I’m friggin bored. Yes, I have unpacking left to do but I have hit a wall because there isn’t enough room to unpack all the boxes, let alone put the boxes somewhere out of my sight. There is abso-frickin-lutely nothing to do. There are parks everywhere and it’s pretty here but nothing to do. It’s a lot like F’ton minus the Fox and Dolan’s. I will hopefully find my equivalents soon enough but we’ll see. I’m not a hiker so the parks are limited and plus, it’s getting to be high cougar season. It’s bad enough running into…

I have arrived
I’ve been in the Hat now just over a day. 36 or so hours actually. It’s just like I expected from seeing the pics and hearing the stories from J. However, I will say it is not flat here in the Hat.

Such a bag of mixed emotions. Sad to leave. Happy to see J. Excited about new beginnings. Apprehensive about the ol’West.

THIS Friday
My last week as a Maritimer has begun. By the end of the week I will be a Maritime transplant in the big ol’province of AB. It seems so far away but I know it’s not. The weather channel tells me so because the day I’m leaving is part of the forecast. So I know it’s close. The weather looks like it’s going to be decent on Friday, not that it matters though. But what does matter is the weather this week and it’s going to be beautiful. Sun, sun, sun and more sun. The heat is going to be around as well. Mother Nature must be aware of my…
