At 4:30 this morning I found myself driving home through a misty rain with a smile on my face.  Anyone from Saskatchewan can attest to the awful hours one must keep when traveling by plane from the prairies.  This was one of those early morning flights connecting to Calgary with a final destination of Seattle.  [...]
