Hangin with George

My friend Paul called me while I was in Toronto and said he had some last minute tickets to the George Stombolopolous show..the catch was we needed to be there in an hour.  The guests were to be Tom Green and Hot Hot Heat - I said sure sounds great.  I managed to get down to the CBC studio and the next thing I know we are sitting front row, while the band rocked out.  Tom Green was his usual freaky self and did an imitation of what humans will look like in a hundred years - as our entire social interaction becomes texting... weird indeed.  George talked to the audience in between takes and chatted about how the Clash got him into politics when he was a kid...me to.  He also let the audience ask some questions.  Tom Green played the audience a song as we left the studio.  We were not supposed to take photos, but i got a couple on the iphone...always breaking the rules.

Fly Fishing in Fernie B.C. - my addiction

Those that know me have probably heard me rant about the glories of fly fishing before.  It's simply my favourite summertime activity.  My article last year in Fly Fusion Magazine was called Stream Fishing Addiction and pretty much spelled out the motivating factors for me and other addicts.  One of the reason I moved to Fernie is because it is one of the the best Dry Fly Fishing areas in North America.  The Elk River is the water equivalent to skiing deep dry powder snow.  Anyway, I am working on a new article about fly fishing in Fernie B.C. and got a few good images this summer.
