The Canadian Art of Procrastination

One of the reasons that I took a term off from school (this time) was to be available to chaperone my son's team on a training trip to Utah.  I drove the cargo van there and back and the 18 hrs by myself while driving was pretty blissful.  Every so often I would have to search around for a new radio station as I drove out of range of another.  One such station that I stumbled across had a guest speaker, an expert from the University of Alberta, on the subject of procrastination.  I was amused that they had to go all the way to Canada to find such an expert.  I had no idea that it was such a Canadian trait.  But isn't that one of the joys of travel – finding out just how 'Canadian' you are.  I don't consider my procrastination to be lazy; I'm just patriotic ;)
