I'm back! David and I got back late last night from a wonderful road trip. We spent three nights in Calgary (at Larry and Dave's place), one in Kamloops (at a motel), four in the West End of Vancouver (at Stephen and Glen's place), three in West Vancouver (at Lloyd and Linda's place), one in a different motel in Kamloops, and one on an acreage near Millarville (near Calgary, at Sharon and Brian's place). We visited many friends, ate great meals at restaurants and homes, saw incredible scenery, and even saw (four times in two days) a black bear in Lloyd and Linda's back yard in West Vancouver. I'll give more details about the trip soon. Today we're heading to a family barbeque that my sister Mary is having in Raymore.

By the way, my grammar workshop at the U. of S. on July 17 went very well.
