Home Sweet Home. I'm finally back in Calgary, and as per usual, it feels like I've never left. I got back about a week ago, and it's been pretty hectic since. I had one day of rest before having to work at the Calgary Unconventional Oil & Gas Forum for two days. It was two days of mingling with high-profile oil executives at the Hyatt Regency. Not bad. My friends from Ontario and Belgium arrived the day I started work, so things have been busy. I love showing people around cities. We saw pretty much everything that Calgary has to offer. We did day trips to Banff and Drumheller, went stampeding, saw chuckwagon races and the Grandstand show, and Mike even made friends with a stripper at a patio on 17th avenue. The boys headed out to the west coast, while I chose to relax at home for a week. They're coming to pick me up on Monday, and then the big drive out east will start. We're planning to see Yellowstone National Park, Mount Rushmore, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, New York and Boston. This is fairly ambitious for the time we have allotted (just under a month), so we'll see how things go. I am excited to see more of the United States. They're our next-door-neighbors and so far I've only seen California and New York.
