The Beginning

Welcome  to whomever is brave enough to read this potentially boring journal.  It is my first blog ever, and I learned how to do it from my wonderful daughter Allison.  Allison made a great blog journal when she travelled to Spain this spring.  So now I will give it a try.

Where am I going and what am I doing.  Well, I retired last in 2007 as the Director of Assiniboine Park Zoo.  My goal, besides a few projects, was to only do "fun jobs".  So now I work part time at Mountain Equipment Co-op, and during the fall drive a Tundra Buggy for Tundra Buggy tours in Churchill Manitoba.  I have the wonderful opportunity to take visitors out onto the tundra in a huge 4 wheel drive vehicle, looking for polar bears, snowy owls, arctic foxes, and other creatures of our Manitoba sub arctic along Hudson's Bay.

This is my first try...so now I am going to post it (Allison's directive) so that I can see how it looks.  More to come later.
