OK OK, enough of the automated Picture of the Week posts, I’ll post a little update to what I’ve been up to for the past little bit. It’s been a whirlwind of a month already and doesn’t seem to have any reason to start slowing down, as the countdown is on, October 17 comes quick! I had a great time in New York City with new friends exploring areas of the city that I’ve never been able to see, getting a grand tour of the city from a local [read more]

This isn’t news for 30% of my readership – but today May 2nd, 2011 is the day that we as Canadian Citizens choosing who is the most capable party to lead our country. Unlike the United States directly below us, we have multiple parties with significant support which has made our past few governments result in a minority government causing endless bickering between parties, laws not being passed, and a whole series of deceptive activities by the party with the most votes. Parliament sessions have been stayed and delayed, questions [read more]

There were a series of books aimed at children/young adults in the 80’s that took the reader to a far off place, some involving wizards, some ghost stories, but the premise was always that you would read a few of the pages, and if you decided to follow the characters into another direction you would simply flip to the page it requested you to. Usually this was lots of fun, and sometimes one wouldn’t get too far, often falling in a pit, or ending prematurely. You’d then start the book [read more]
Attention: I have a working stove, which also means I have coffee in the morning, which also means I’m able to form sentences properly again. I’ve been slowly working out the startup kinks over the past few days and am now settling into life as a traveler on the road again, short of the odd ache and pain that I still get in my legs and a nasty sunburn I’m caring for on my hands and nose I’m doing A-OK. When I last posted I was in a tough spot, [read more]
Half of a chocolate bar, 2 granola bars, a can of peaches, a can of oysters, and a hunk of cheddar cheese that has been sitting in my panniers for 5 days was what I had for dinner tonight, yup – this is cycle touring. Where everything goes the right way, except when it doesn’t. I knew this day was going to come and fully expected it, but it is happening right now – first night back on the road. After checking out the weather report the other day and [read more]
And so it begins, blasting music while dodging potholes in traffic, feeling the stretching and burning of the muscles, and getting odd looks from people as they walk past my bicycle while writing this post in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Yup – I’m back here again – and even though I don’t like to ride in the same places where I have been in the past I have no choice since there is nowhere to go but west. I did make it off of the island of Newfoundland – eventually. [read more]
Hello again! Enjoying the silence? We’re a few weeks off from a new season, which means it is time to get moving and back on the road. While there hasn’t been any updates for a few months, it doesn’t mean that I didn’t get up to anything during that time – In fact I feel quite accomplished about the time spent, and enjoyed some resting before the next phase of the trip occurs, wherever that leads me. I’ve gone back and forth with ideas on what comes next, dealing with [read more]
