This is my pass. It lets me snowboard everyday and I'm thankful for that.
Funny story. As usual I was heading to the hill first thing in the morning. It hadn't snowed but I had missed the last two days and I needed my fix. I stopped in at Sidewinder for some dark brewed coffee but they only had the dregs left for each of their selections...They mixed them together for me but i still felt jipped. Anyways, as I was leaving a fellow named Cory accosted me and asked if I would like to work today. "What do I have to do?" I queried. Set up stage for Blue rodeo and take it down. It would be two 4 hour shifts at a decent deal and I would get a pass. So since it wasn't prime snow I accepted. I dropped Jeff off back at home (he was to hungover to snowboard anyways) and went to the rink to set up. The day turned out to be a real piece of cake and the show was slightly interesting with a few good riffs. Otherwise, it snowed most of the day and the next day we hit fresh powder all day long!

Good day to all,

Ahem, let me clear my cuticles and get ready for a barrage of useless information about mylife (as will be called and trademarked after Apple takes over the world). As you know, or don't, I don't subscribe to facebook, or myspace, or any of those great sites that allow you to see people you knew, know or want to know and learn many interesting facts about them. Well sometimes I make up a log in name to see some picks of a lost companion but i rarely return. Unfortionatly mylife doesn't have time to spend on a computer hour after hour or day after day. Now a days and for 6 months a year, I spend most of it off in the bush, a small town or camping. The only time i see a computer or t.v. is in a hotel, school, library, or office (often times on a timer). I'm not knocking them...I'm just out of access. It's like old school 80's and early 90's I'm living. Sometimes I wish I could just youtube 'helicopter crashes' to my hearts content, but alas, we live in a cruel, cruel world.

I've been living out of a backpack pretty much since I left the fort in montreal in early 2006. I planted, as you know, fire fought, brushed, burned, surfed nicaragua, returned for planting and fires and here i am. August of 2007. Older, no doupt. Wiser, maybe. More mature? more like fermented. Learning from teachers and teaching the learning.

If you are my middle east (ontario/montreal) Friends or associates, I will be in town some time in the second half of this year after august. I will post the party time.



Right now I'm on fires. Fires are pretty good because you get a nice place to stay, food, and the job is .5% more exciting then most other jobs. This year I think I might plant some roots in B.C. and stay for the winter (at least part of it). We'll see.
