Montreal Urban Walk
by Hella ~ March 5th, 2005I got the idea of going on a walk to the top of Mount Royal from a tourism website. So this afternoon around 5pm I set out on a hike just up the road from the hotel to see what it was like. The walk quickly turned into several snow-covered switchbacks. For a while, there [...]
Regional Jets and the Sortie
by Hella ~ March 4th, 2005Since I’ve never been to Canada, I thought it would make for a nice and very brisk vacation away from Philadelphia.

But at least DIP is over and now Managerial Accounting is over, too. I [...]
Icy Transitions
by Hella ~ March 1st, 2005This morning was the transition meeting for the Sales & Trading Club’s presidents to hand over the leadership to the Class of 2006.
