Been a long time fan of Jonas Bonetta from Evening Hymns. He got the vocal only track to Courage and did wonders in adding a simple piano in support of the Canadian Cancer Society.

M, built it already. It gets everyday use and I love the thing. On to the canoe.

Going from one how to manual to the next, except the Canoe one has pictures with people in clothing. How odd.

Hats off to @arteastlondon for framing some old prints and a Mike Gussack painting.

Enjoying the hell out of Le Bureau des Legends

My Mom is a miner's daughter. Her whole family fought Nazis.
She was walking through the snow with her walker when a woman asked her,"Will we survive Trump?"
"Of course we will," Mom replied. "I don't need asparagus. I'll eat root vegetables. We've done it before."
That's Canada.

Only dropped one frame and smashed glass everywhere. Off to Art East tomorrow to get 3 things framed, or 2 framed and 1 re-framed to be more exact.

Stretching risotto with as many veggies as possible. More people to feed than anticipated.

Feeling that BC pride

Not a single bottle of American wine, beer or bourbon should be sold anywhere in Canada.
From here on in I will only drink "freedom" wines from Canada, France or Spain.
As for the beer? It's shit anyways.
True. North. Strong. Free.
