What a great place - Banff

The sessions start at 8 am. We have an hour for lunch, then plow through to 5:30. Dinner is from 5:30 to 7 pm at which point we go to break out groups from 7 - 9 pm (which turns out to be approximately 9:30 pm).
The next day, we do it again. Pretty full on stuff.

Workshop in Banff

A little 58 passenger jet. Flight was 1 hour and 30 minutes.
In the Calgary airport.
Even had a chance to watch a few minutes of the Super Bowl.

The workshop is called the CETAC-WEST Entrepreneur to CEO. I am in Banff from Feb 3 - 8 at the Banff Centre. It should be very beneficial both personally and for the company.

Clear chilly nights, make for scraping in the morning

The past week has been very sunny, but quite "brisk" late at night and early morning. Nice full moon in this picture.

Happy Birthday Debra

Debra and I went to the Bengal Lounge in the Empress Hotel for a curry buffet lunch.
The Empress just celebrated it's 100th Birthday
Nice surprise from the Bengal staff for Debra. This was a NICE dessert. The curry buffet was great as well. Highly recommended.

I need to get a better camera photo for better resolution photos.

Sunny, cool and windy

The ultimate poop machines
Selkirk Trestle - part of the Galloping Goose Trail
Nice evening sky
The bike ran a bit rough the first little while. I rode over to my friends house to watch Tom Brady and the New England Patriots go to 18-0 on the season. Next up...Super Bowl on Feb 3rd.

Nice day for a walk ....... and a ride

Debra and I took a walk down the Galloping Goose trail to the Inner Harbour. This picture and the one above are from in front of the Delta Ocean Pointe Resort. This is traditional Songhee's territory. (Lekwungen Nation)

Just had to get a ride in!!!!!!
The Lexus is from our sister company, 6th Dimension Devices. (I have it for the weekend)
It is a Hybrid and is quite a vehicle.

And for those who like playing in the white stuff......

View of 7th Heaven from Whistler
View of Whistler from Blackcomb Mountain.
These shots are from the Whistler-Blackcomb website from today. We hope to get back up to visit with Paul and Anne soon.

Playing what is called Sjoelen. (Explanation below)
In our house, if you get a score 80 or over, your name gets written on the back.
The Sjoelbak "Hall of Fame".

The game's name is 'sjoelen'. 'Sjoelen' is also a verb describing the activity of playing 'sjoelen'. 'Sjoelbak' is the name of largest game component. You slide the 'sjoelschijven' (discs) over the 'sjoelbak'.
