Post Interview Thoughts:

Where do I start? Here we are, 20 days from the launch, 7 days from our flights out of Edmonton, and I&#8217;m going to go grey prematurely.
PASSPORTS, FLIGHTS AND DRINKING HEAVILY

THE GOOD:
Global TV Edmonton has agreed to lend us their projector for our Outdoor Rally Movie Extravaganza fundraiser. This is a good thing since I pretty much just assumed I could get it from our [...]]]></description>

The visas applications are signed and in the mail. All we can do at this point is sit back, cross our fingers, let The Adventurists do their thing, and hope our passports come back with a bunch of really fancy stamps.

So I&#8217;m going under the &#8220;laser&#8221; on February 11 to fix the eyes. I&#8217;ve been wearing glasses since Grade 3, so at 31 years old now, it&#8217;s something that&#8217;s long overdue and the rally is the perfect excuse to do it.
