A. Morning Musings

I have coffee this morning at The Ugly Mug.

At the moment the weather is spring-like, but there is a cold front due in this evening that may bring rain/snow and sounds like it may turn the roads into a skating rink.

My top priority today will be to complete reading "Wikinomics".

B. Actual Learning Activities

7:30 PM

Coffee at The Ugly Mug was great, as usual.

But the forecast for late afternoon and overnight is not good. We decided to drive up to Calgary today and stay overnight. We can do our shopping and take care of our business affairs tomorrow morning and then, depending on how the weather turns out, return to Lethbridge tomorrow afternoon.

We left right after lunch, the drive up was excellent - summer driving conditions. The road was clear and dry. No difficulties at all. We did stop in at a bookstore once we were in Calgary, where I bought 3 books. One was the latest Douglas Coupland novel, "The Gum Thief", and the other two books were reprints of classics: Dante's "Divine Comedy" and Milton's "Paradise Lost". Both books include the Dore prints. I could not resist buying them. Simply holding them in one's hand is a delight. But not a day for any Learning activities.

We had a good meal at a nearby restaurant and then settled in for a good night's sleep.
