It’s summer in the city, oh is it ever. Toronto is hot and everyone
has fully given themselves over to the throes of summer.

Sylas, 20 months, new fan

Photo

I am very lucky to have 20 month-old Sylas as a new fan, sporting a
sweet sticker at “Community to Stop the Quarry” in Orangeville this
afternoon!

Health on three: one, two…

P41

Not only did I haul my ass out of bed to go for a morning run, AND bike 21k along Toronto’s waterfront… I also made this!

Super Salad, featuring:
Chickpeas, green lentils, quinoa, green pepper, carrots, celery, radishes, green beans, flax seed meal, hemp seeds, poppy seeds, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and herbs/spices.

I would have added more vegetables, but that’s all I had in the fridge. Still, a formidably filling salad. To be eaten alone or served over fresh spinach.

Owen Sound shows: tracks+photos!

I’m back in the big city from Owen Sound (a transition which included doing a “Farmer Fred” character at a movement/character/improv workshop… which I realized partway through was mostly foreign to everyone in the room and was therefore confusing rather than humorous).

Dylan Chauvin-Smith traveled up to the Sound with us and kept his camera busy. He was kind enough to post online some highlights from the weekend.

We also had Adam Hall from vWave Productions along for the ride recording all this troublemaking. There are three tracks from the show up on myspace, including the sweet sounds of Tyler Wagler (bass), Graham Campbell (guitar and organ) and Eric Woolston (percussion).

p.s.(ssst) The Cameron House is a good place to be this Saturday night. I’ll be joined by the Renegade Company to open for Backwoods Justice, back from hiatus and ready to shake y’all. 10ish, $5 at the door.
