[4] Red Deer, Alberta

It occurs to me that I haven't explained the domain name of my site. It essentially translates to:

cursum conscendo | I embark on the journey.

I took the latin quote cursum perficio (I finish the journey) and modified it to fit my needs. I was just googling the quote to see where it came from, and apparently there is an Enya song of the same name. Who knew! And now I can't seem to find the actual latin quotation. How strange-making! It is also the clan motto of the Hunter Clan, which they translate as I pursue the chase.

Durr, I can't seem to give this up. I knew I read it somwhere. I'll be stubborn and keep searching the internet until the cows come home (metaphorically speaking, of course).

Wikipedia apparently mentions something about Vergil/Virgil, but when I click the link, it only displays this page, which is (oddly enough) not so helpful.

No, now, when I read the Google search page properly, I understand that Vergil comes up much later in the page (hence the ... elipsis).

Today's Roman Date (sorry, I found this in my random searching) is: DIES SATVRNI A. D. XI KAL. IVN. MMDCCLIX A.U.C. (Julian Calendar, Roman style) .

Remember that: I = 1 | V = 5 | X = 10 | L = 50| C = 100 | D = 500 | M = 1000 |
