A shot of the room in which my portion of TC's exec retreat was held at nice hotel downtown in Chicago.

I got up this a.m. felling just awful, drove my eldest to school, and then drove up to Chi-town -- on St. Paddy's no less (river didn't strike me as any greener than normal, but perhaps my vision has been skewed by all those years on the coastline).

Anyway, valeted car, headed to spa to change into suit, and then hung out in this room working the brief til the execs showed up.

I went 90, then break, then I lead off 60 of discussion on Gap-shrinking scenario pathways from BFA.

All in all, a great way to earn a living and network with potential Enterra clients. Sharp bunch, TransCanada. Would love to keep some relationship going with an ambitious energy player like this from the stealth energy superpower to the north.
