Greetings from Bangor, Maine!

I had an amazing drive yesterday--through Montreal and down along the White Mountains in Vermont and New Hampshire. The fall leaves were awesome--better than last year! I stopped and got a few pictures. There were photographers all over Hwy-2 with their tripods trying to get the best pictures for their photo collections.

I had a nice stay in Ottawa. The chapter is doing very well! SO after my 10 day trip to Canada I can say I am still very upbeat and energetic! That is a huge win for me. This afternoon I meet with the Maine chapter again--should be a good time. l

One thing I found out while I was in Canada was that my car (Scion Xa) is not sold in Canada so I was constantly getting stared at as I drove by--it was funny. In fact when I was in Toronto, I was at a stop light and a bus was next to me. While I was at the red light the bus driver got out of his bus walked over to my car and motioned for me to roll down my windows (yeah, it was a little weird). So I rolled down the window and he was like, "Nice car....they don't sell those here--I want one so bad". It was quite humorous! Well when its time to sell my car, I know where to go. Speaking of my car--I will officially trip the 40,000 mile mark this week. It only took me 16 months to put 40,000 on my car. I really hope I can stay under 60,000 before the end of the year.

I'm heading down to Boston this weekend so that I can visit the MIT chapter. Then down to UConn. I can defintely tell that too much of my life revolves around my fraternity. I woke up last night haveing a dream about one of my more challenging chapters. But in my dream, I was telling them how crappy they are. Its nice to win arguments in your dreams :)

Well folks, I'm doing very well. My essay deadline for Boston University's MBA application is coming up. This weekend I will sit down and get my essays on paper and completed. I can't wait to get all these applications done!

Have a great weekend! and have a happy Thanksgiving weekend for my friends in Canada!
