Visiting at University of Lethbridge opened many delightful opportunities. I attended many special speaker events for which I normally would have felt I did not have time. Entertainment opportunities abounded and I took advantage -- the Snowed In Comedy Tour and the Dragon Boat Festival, for instance. In addition to fulfilling teaching and research obligations, I toured much of Southern Alberta and bits of British Columbia, falling in love with the area in the process. I love the wide open prairie and big sky of Southern Alberta. The big space is accented by mountains on the horizon. 'Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump' became my spiritual retreat.
