Greetings from London, Ontario!

Well, it is just a lovely, rainy cold day here in the great Providence of Ontario. I am finally feeling better after getting sick earlier this week. I got sick on Monday when I was at Bethany. I was supposed to stay in Bethany on their lovely couch on Monday night, but I wrapped up my meetings early and headed to a hotel room just North of Pittsburgh. Tuesday was great as I had an 8 hour drive. The drive to London was bad enough on its own, but then add a fever, coughing, and sore throat on top of it and you've got the ingredients for misery.

Although, I was still sick yesterday I had a full plate of meetings yesterday with my boys at Western Ontario. I have to say it was a great day. There are a few key officers that really "excite" me. The chapter may not be doing all that well, but they keep me hopeful that change is on the way.

I have a meeting this afternoon with Mandy D'Arcy. She is the Pledge Education Advisor for Western Ontario. Once I am done meeting with her, I will drive 8 hours NE to the great city of Ottawa. It will probably be a late night for me. I will be attending the Carleton chapter's 15th Anniversary banquet on Saturday. After that is over, I will be heading back down to Oxford. I have opted to depart on Sunday morning...because it is a 16 hour drive home. Ahhh...that mileage reimbursement check is going to be so great in a week!

Well I fly home to Kansas City next Wednesday! My flight leaves bright and early at 7:15am from Indianapolis. That's the price you pay for cheap flights! Then I will head down to New Orleans from Kansas City for the annual AFA (Association of Fraternity Advisor) Convention. I am so pumped to be going down the the Big Easy. This will be my first time in New Orleans.

No snow in Canada yet, but I have a feeling I will be running into it up in Ottawa....I'll keep you posted!
