October 18, 2004Edmonton, AB Greetings from snowy and seriously brrrrr Edmonton. Have been here for a couple days visiting with the amazing Mr. Bill Bourne.

It’s going to take me a while but… see more…
October 13, 2004Thunder Bay, ON Sooo sleepy in the sleazy motel… and still such a long country to go!

October 10, 2004London, Ontario Hey folks, It’s a crazy time!

August 16, 2004Thunder Bay, ON You gotta love the Kingsway Motel. Every half hour or so the train rips by shaking the walls like crazy and throwing up a wild wind so strong you can feel it through your window in bed… Have been watching the Olympics in French (practicing understanding for my impending spring birthday trip to gaie… see more…
July 29, 2004London, Ontario Ladies and Gents, Lucky me has been relaxing at home for the last 10 days and it has been SOO good for me.
