Why are we alive?

Back at home..

Organizing thoughts and photos, and listening to music. Also trying to catch up on what's been happening in the last week and a half...

Here's a great one by Woodpigeon, a band Jeremy's been trying to get me listening to.

Woodpigeon has paid tribute to the passing of Kate McGarrigle with a cover of what is probably their most famous song to those of a certain generation who grew up watching NFB shorts – “The Log Driver’s Waltz”. Woodpigeon plays the Drake Underground on February 11 and have an in-store at Soundscapes on February 14.

MP3: Woodpigeon – “The Log Driver’s Waltz” (live) (via Chromewaves)

When asked about the band's name, Mark Hamilton explains: "I've always been in love with the word Woodpigeon for as long as I can remember. When you write it in cursive, it looks like a rollercoaster". (Wikipedia)

Heading home

Over the last 9 days and nights, Adam and I experienced almost 7000 kilometers of southern America. 4312 miles officially; apparently the measured flight distance for Warsaw, Poland to Toronto, Canada.

Just a great trip. A really great experience; gorgeous and fun, and travelling with Adam was something really, really special for me; thanks buddy.

I'm gonna share some real pictures (and stories) over the next day or two, but for now, from the Vegas runway, from what we figure our only pic together from the trip...

New Orleans

Two muffuletta sandwiches to go later (and currently eating in the car), we're outta New Orleans. And sad to go. This visit really was a reminder of how much ass New Orleans kicks.

Because we had a car, we got to visit more than just the French Quarter,., Bucktown, the Garden District, St. Louis cemetary number 3... stuff we normally wouldn't be able to do. And lots of pictures! But, for now, off to Fort Worth, Texas.
