I am grateful for Calgary. Makes no difference where I go, it’s the best hometown I know.

I am grateful for air travel. Airports aren’t the happiest places, and the seats are never as comfy as you’d like, but it sure beats walking.

I am grateful for my family of origin. It was just the 4 of us at my folks place for dinner tonight: my mom, dad, brother and myself . The last time that happened was likely a decade or two ago. It was fun, and I am grateful.

I am grateful for old friends. I just had drinks at a bar with old friends I’ve known since I was a kid. It was really great to see those guys tonight.
