Back on Summer Tires

I screw up every year and by not having them switched sooner.  I also forget every year just how much a difference it makes, snow VS normal tires.  It has not changed the speed I corner at, swear.april 18 2009

Below is a photo taken around this time last year when I was at CBC.  They’d asked me for photos of myself (no Keri, we can’t just use these screen grabs from your movies) so I had to have some taken for my webpage on their site.  They didn’t use the ones below, or really any of the ones I liked; apparently I didn’t look “accessible enough”.  Uh-huh.

Thinking About My Trip

Whenever I drive for an extended distance I pretend I’m on my cross-country trip, and here’s some things I thought:

Top Photo
– I just really want to go there
– I was designing an editing suite to be setup in my passenger seat.  Think of the efficiency of that
– my windows need to be cleaned 

Bottom Left 
– the schedule will need to be kept flexbile so when things like a ‘Psychic Dinner and Show’ at a Holiday Inn pop up, I can go
– keeping up with my exercise routine is gonna be a challenge, and eating well too; I took this across the street from my Tim Horton’s stop

Bottom Right
– would it be neat to collect an similarly set up image like bottom right in each night?  [upon further thought, no, that would last 4 weeks max).  But where will I be sleeping each night? That’s exciting to me.  I’m looking forward to living in hotels for a year.

That’s Julie, Ted & Me

Henry’s turned 100 years old this year, amazing eh?  That’s how I ended up there in the first place, I wanted to support a really old Canadian company. 

Because almost two years ago when I started this show I needed a camera, Final Cut Express, and a tripod… and I bought those from Julie and Ted.  I went back today to replace my MonstorPod but apparently I am the only person to ever buy one there so instead I’m being sent to go see Chris at the Queen St. location.  

Fast fact – learned today that of all Henry’s employees have 4 digit employee numbers except for about 10 of them which have 3 digits, and both these guys have 3 ones.  They are Henry’s veterans!

Julie’s even in the current flyer so she signed one for me, look:
