Just thought I’d say hello. Music today is just me playing with a cool new iPad app (yes I finally got one, the iPad Air, more on that on a later episode) called “ Scape ” by Brian Eno. It’s so much fun to mess around with. Happy birthdays to my Dad and my Son.
An extra long one today. Join me as I try to assemble wise words on the road, then later meet up with Gary for a long (LONG) hike at Algonquin Park. Two songs today: “Black Love ( Nomis Yor's Feed Your Addiction Remix) ” by The Easton Ellises and “ Master and Servant ” by Nouvelle Vague. If you’re reading this on the website see below for a bunch of photos from our trip :)...

About an hour of the kids’ visit. We get up to all sorts of silly stuff. I miss em a lot already. If you’d like a copy of our catchy tune you can download it from the Music Page :) You can see photos of the trip on the Chub Creek facebook page at facebook.com/chubcreek
Yikes it’s August already. That means it’s Fall soon, which is actually pretty awesome, so never mind. Anyway that has nothing to do with this episode, which is really just me driving around in the new Honda. That’s Precious right there in the photo, (if you’re visiting the website) parked by the old barn at Chub Creek. Today’s music was “Leave it Out” by Cursor Minor....

Bug infested walkage at Forks of the Credit Provincial park. Actually it wasn’t that bad, I just made the mistake of reading all about the worst kinds of stinging bugs right before leaving. (Read about the Tarantula Hawk and other horrible stinging bugs here). A bit of yabber about public speaking, some more yammer about how my dog’s tongue reminds me of my first girlfriend... and more. Music is “ We’re the Kids ” by Parade of Lights from the BIRP! Indie Playlist for July 2013....
Join me at Cold Creek as I hike my way to near heat exhaustion. Today we chat about birds, Ghost stories, helecopters, ancient and modern Egypt, Teaching, High School English, the 777 plane crash, graphic design and star wars. Susy Rice’s article is here . I highly recommend it if you’re into the ‘Wars. I’m posting my awesome, super incredible life changing tweet exchange with Ms. Rice below, along with some snapshots I got before almost dying in the heat. Today’s beautiful music selection was “...
Some baseball, some hiking, some bugs. Then more bugs. Then more bugs. Today’s excellent musical selection was “ New Summer ” by Young Galaxy.
Today we visit Upper Credit and walk along the river. Music was “ Your Life, Your Call ” by Junip. Thanks to Ken of the Dicksnjanes podcast for donating his audio without knowing it. Thanks to Gary for the cool crickets audio. And thanks for listening :).
A trip to Wye Marsh near Midland. What a beautiful place. You should go. Thanks to The Roadside Graves for their amazing song “ Love Me More ” available free for download.

Back for some chatter, badly repressed anger, Mom and Dad, Monarchs, Moths, fireworks, dinosaurs, Hobbits, and a cliffhanger. Thanks especially to my new friend Sam Van Dyke for his song “Don’t Bet On Me” . You can also check him out on Youtube .
Mostly noisy. Basically I recorded my Mom and Dad trashing my kitchen and making it awesome again. Thanks to you both, I wouldn’t have a clue without you. Also thanks for audio contributions this week from Yuka, Terrie , Toni, Doug , Siri, and Cindy . Thanks to Modo Stare for their track “ Summit ”. It’s available for free download at SoundCloud ....
A double trek today, starting out at a segment of the Bruce Trail out near Georgetown, following the lovely Credit River, then later a peaceful and introspective chat from Terra Cotta conservation area. Thanks to Ken for being my muse this week, you are an inspiration for those of us stuttering idiots who can’t say anything real. Big love and thanks to Mom and Dad for joining me on my hike and letting me record their every word, and again, Happy Mother’s day all of the various mommas out there, ...

In the slightly short but terrifying episode we feature still more adventures with deadly and dangerous Canadian wild creatures. If you can BEAR it, come along as we pass under massive soaring black crows, cower under the deafening wail of the Canadian Goose, spelunk in caves that may or not contain hibernating bears and dangerous falling overhead rocks, discover the cold loving “Ice Pawns” and narrowly escape the rabbit devouring, squeaking mink. Musical selection today was a beautiful performa...
A great little trek (okay not little - our legs were killing us after) at Mono Cliffs trail in the snow with my folks, and some fun soundseeing at a local diner where we spoiled our supper together. You couldn’t really hear it, but just to give them credit, the music at the very beginning was “ Know Til Now ” by Jim James, and “ Climbing Walls ” by Strange Talk. The obnoxious (not really) song later on was “ Sod in the Seed ” by Why? Enjoy :)...
