I don't fly out until Friday but I'm packing up my computer today so this will be my last post from Ottawa. What can I say? It's been an interesting and challenging 3.5 years. I've met some great people, done some great things and I've thoroughly enjoyed living in our nation's capital. I'll miss the Hill, disc golf and the ODGC, the pubs, the Canal in winter and most of all, the people. I won't miss the job market or the ever-present government. Or the inefficient health care.
So long Ottawa.
FYI- If you live anywhere where the night sky can be seen without excessive light pollution you might want to look north around 11-midnight. According to Spaceweather.com we're in for a pretty good aurora show. I saw an impressive display of northern lights from outside Ottawa on Saturday night and it was one of the highlights of my summer. The aurora alert is for people in all hemispheres, not just Canada.
I ought to be back on line and posting by the middle or end of next week. In the meantime I should be checking email.
Sorry I missed the trip home. I guess I will have to fly to Atlanta. See you there.

Safe trip and remember to give Michael from NB a call for details about life in Atlanta.

Thanks for the heads up on the aurora. (I'll be getting out for that later this evening with the camera).
