The final day of our conference in Canada (the fourth nation in the world that has equal marriage for GLBT people. The "sermon" that our new moderator gave was not really a sermon but more of an "acceptance speech." She didn't really preach but it wasn't a true acceptance speech in the way that one thinks of such a speech. It was just her talking about her life experiences and her time at the conference and memories she has throughout her years in the denomination. I feel renewed spiritually and invigorated to be a part of such an important denomination.
We left Calgary today and when we got to the Calgary airport we found out that our flight to Chicago was delayed two hours. Therefore, we would be missing our connecting flight from Chicago to Rochester. We waited in line to go through customs for about an hour and then we didn't get to go through customs because the computers were down so we had to wait and go through in Chicago. We got a later flight from Chicago to Rochester but had to spend 4 hours at the airport waiting for the flight. NEVER AGAIN CHICAGO, NEVER AGAIN!!!!!! Thank God we made it home safely and not too terribly late.
This & That: During our trip to Banff to see the majestic mountains, the mosquitoes were terrible. Jim said there must have been a sign at the bottom of the mountain that read: Blood Buffet or Human Buffet.
By the way, I really like Canadian money. It's so colorful (the bills anyway) and it looks like play money but it buys real things. It certainly doesn't spend like play money though and it goes fast.
Well we are home and safe and I hope you are too.
