Balzac Billy

So, our favourite holiday has come and gone - Grounhog Day. It's not just about the Bill Murry movie, or the prediction of early/late spring. This is Alberta. There is no such thing as spring; just chinooks, dry heat, cold and sometimes snow at any thime during the year. Sometimes all on the same day. No, what I like is that there is in fact no groundhog in Balzac, Alberta, so a guy dresses up in a gopher suit and pretends to see his shadow or not. What a country we live in! After clearly predicting an end to winter, we are looking forward to -20 degreeweather and more snow. Which is ok, because of the need to do more skiing, especially traction-kiting, if possible.

I wish I had a gopher suit to ski in.

Trip plans continue. We have added Barcelon and Valencia to our destination list, are are pleased that Jill will likely be joining us in bothplaces, and maybe on the yacht in Greece too!
