<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">I love Canada. Always have and always will. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Courier New; font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">My stay in Calgary has done little to diminish -- surprising as that may seem -- my steadfast admiration for the expanse of land that defines itself as not being the U.S. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Courier New; font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">This particular city, enriched by oil with little to show for it except a near constant state of construction and exorbitant prices -- is a cultural desert with little to offer a transient visitor other than a visa to cross the border as is the case with me, a year abroad as is the case for hundreds of unemployable 20-somethings from as far afield as Croatia, or perhaps a rodeo in July for cowboy junkies among us.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Courier New; font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">A two-hour drive north offers a forlorn and cloudy view of the Rocky Mountains -- a distant recollection of the 1988 Winter Olympics lingers in the collective memory. Those barren snow-capped peaks today are better experienced further west in Whistler, Canada's answer to Aspen. Still, in Banff, a perplexing tourist attraction where I experience bison meat for the first time does offer its share of whimsical attractions.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Courier New; font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">In a Native American store, a century-old trading outpost on the edge of an icy river -- a tourist trap if ever there was one -- is the reconstructed mummified remains of a purported merman: a feeble attempt by the Canadian Pacific Railway to recreate a myth mirroring the Loch ness Monster.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Courier New; font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">The jewel in the crown, if there is one, is a $500-a-night minimum five-star gothic hotel modeled on a Scottish castle. Its absurd claim to fame is that a 1920s bride toppled down the winding staircase and broke her neck on her wedding day, haunting the place still alongside the ghost of a loyal bellboy who could not bear to be parted, even in death from his beloved employer. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Courier New; font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">More intriguing for me was photographic evidence that Marilyn Monroe, hobbled by a fall, played a round of golf on the premises while filming the 1950s western, aptly named "The river of no return.'' There was something quite endearing -- my apologies for sounding condescending -- in how lovingly new countries guard their heritage. A century is a long time for a newborn state and as such every vestige of the past is lovingly encased as a museum relic behind glass, including a menu from the 1930s.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Courier New; font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"></span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;">I had more to say but have quite forgotten it, forgive me I have had a whiskey or two to whittle away the hollow hours here. I think this is all I will take with me from my time here, except knowledge that anyone with any means from this part of the world has a summer home in Montana. Now that is telling.</span></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Madge and Rebecca threw a wonderful baby shower and as you can tell I for one had an AMAZING TIME. what's not to like? a great spread, champers and some of my favourite girls flocked around me swapping original stories of parenting and tales from childhood. some were cautionary others heart-warming, more often than not, they were both. and did I mention the gifts? and the gummies. <br />

<br />armed with carlo gesualdo, the three-colours trilogy and the decalogue, a couple bottles of good white and a small stash of cigarettes (hell if it's the end of the world i might as well enjoy a final puff!), we are all set to spend the next 48 plus hours holed up at home.
<br />a hurricane is just what i needed to inflict much needed rest. now, onto the first of a stack of novels.
