I rose early in Medicine Hat(Gas City). I incorrectly referred to "The Hat" as Oil City yesterday, when it is actually famous for its natural gas reserves. I was informed that the low price of natural gas has hurt the local economy quite a bit at the moment. The rest of the province seems to be quite robust as the price of oil remains solid.
Had a quick run then headed over for the included breakfast at the Jungle Buffet.. The sign in the front made me laugh. I felt that it must be a sign that I should listen to the new Slash album for the 300 KM trek to Calgary..
I arrived in Calgary, AB the furthest point West on this trip at around 11 am. Had a quick meeting with an old friend Paul Olmstead of Westpointe Marketing. Paul is one of the best MLR's in the biz and has a great showroom facility that our local reps take advantage of.
The highlight of the day was a fantastic lunch with The Calgary Team. Linda Mah arranged for a great table at Chop in the South West. I was also joined by Bernice Herman, Rob and Diane Penner, and Vera Young.. It was great to catch up with old friends, in fact we got so caught up in spirited discussion that I forgot to take a picture...The Calgary economy is going gangbusters and it sounds like the whole team is really on track for a great year.
Spent the rest of the afternoon with some new prospective Talbot Team members. I met some really interesting people that will definitely be assets to a team that is already very strong.
I am going to head over to the ASI show for a bit now and then begin the journey back home for the weekend. All in all a great trip so far.
