Ottawa Day 4
Great day to finish out the Ottawa MASC conference. The weather was beautiful and the students were pretty darned excited for a Friday. I was surprised so many kids were eager to learn about writing. I think that speaks to how committed they are. And my favourite moment of the entire day... I got a yo-yo ball that the organizers were giving to all the kids. Yay! Yes, I am a kid at heart.
The day went downhill pretty quickly after I hit the airport though. There was and still is a huge snowstorm in Calgary, and my flight was delayed. Once I pulled into town at about 10 pm, I couldn't find a cab. I didn't get to my hotel until after midnight. Ugh.
I have to head to a young author conference Saturday morning. Hopefully, the roads will be cleared. Living in Alberta means playing winter roulette. You just never know when it'll hit you, but it'll hit you hard when it does.
