After two inquiries and two waits, I'm confirmed as a featured speaker at the
end of February in Saskatoon. I don't have a URL yet nor any more details,
but will pass them on when I do have.

(Saskatchewan Home Based Educators), Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
I've been advised by a friend in Ontario that no coat or hat I might own will
begin to suffice and that I should ask the person who picks me up from the
airport to bring outerwear I can borrow to get to the hotel, and again at the
other end, same. Wow.
Any one else here have other Canadian information I can use? I'll be in a
hotel most of the weekend, and probably travelling all day Friday and Sunday
(or Monday).

Not that Wally would need to know, but if you call AppleCare, you will be
helped by several very helpful Canadians with sweet Canadian accents.
Moose bites can be very painful, I hear.
I'll have to remember not to hum "Blame Canada" to myself in the airport
there.

[This translated through SCA channels, going to a Canadian friend who's
living in Maryland, but grew up in Lethbridge, middle of nowhere, and was
homeschooled from Jr. High on (and has a PhD in math now... ) but anyway,
the "AElflaed" is their translation of "Sandra" and the Finnvarr comment was
the one that no hat or coat I had would suffice.]
When is this homeschooling conference?
Regarding Finnvarr's comment (that no coat you own will be sufficient to
get you from the airport to the hotel), did I ever tell you how my parents
picked up me and Nadine at Calgary Airport the first time she came up to
see Canada and meet them (in late December)? My father met us, helped us
get our luggage, and then went to get the car. With the car right outside
the sliding doors he brought in a mummy-style sleeping bag. We put Nadine
in it and carried her outside and put her in the car, then made the 2-hour
drive down from Calgary to Lethbridge. She was flabbergasted -- she had
never seen it so cold that it was necessary to scrape the inside of the
car windshield (as the wind on the glass keeps the glass sufficiently cold
that it frosts up from the moisture in your breath). Since no car heater
in the universe is designed to provide enough heat to warm up a VW Van
going 60mph in a 35 degree below zero environment, the resulting
windshield scrapings fly around inside the car like snow. She couldn't
believe it.

What have we done in the last week? Spanking/abuse, vaccinations, menstrual
products, lots of religion, Santa, marijuana legalization. I'm having
trouble remembering them all . . . sigh. We've got a new person who
recently got thrown off the Calgary list (and real-life support group) and
is working up to causing trouble on ours. She tried to get us going on a
few other things, like PETA, but nobody bit on those.
