Off for the Weekend (Happy Birthday, AB!)
And we're back!
Sorry for the short hiatus in posts here, but we've been busy busy over the last few weeks and we have to confess to neglecting the blog a wee bit. Anyway, no more!

We're driving back on Monday (checkout time is 11am) and then it's back to work on Tuesday. Then Wednesday is my birthday (!) and on Friday I'm off to Montreal to give a talk at the Canadian Association of General Surgeons. It's all go!
PS Alberta was 100 years old last Thursday! Happy birthday Alta!
