Frontenac Attack

Yay-O.
Ok.. so I need to start writing in this more. One update recapping close on two god damned years will not suffice. Don't get me wrong, re-caps are great... well.. better than nothing. The thing is, with those kinds of updates you really do miss the subtle nuances that is your day to day life, if you get me. It's kinda like... I don't just want to know what I did, I care more about how I felt about what I did. If that makes any sense. I just went back and read some old posts from 2006 when I had just moved to Ontario. Back then I lived alone, so the blog definitely served as a companion of sorts. Nowadays, with friends abound and gad zooks, a girlfriend, well, the blog just has a way of falling by the wayside like that weird friend you only really call when everyone else is busy.

But, I digress. My point: Write more often.

My buddy Matt whom I went to university with has a rather neat blog going. He has challenged himself to listen to all of the albums in his entire music collection in their entirety in one year. The kicker: he has over 1600 albums to select from, at random I might add. Anyway, if you're in to music or would like to diversify your knowledge on the subject, look no further. I'll add a link to "The Little Drummer Boy Project" on my Friendly Fire links bar.

Ok. Back on task. A few weeks ago, the group headed to Crotch Lake, North Frontenac (great name, I know) for a weekend canoe camping trip. When I say "the group", I pretty much mean it. There were 12 of us (plus one pup) in all.. myself, my lady, beryl, rox, stamps, ang, jen, steve, matt, dana, mike, em and sparks. What a weekend! Paddling the 3km to our site on Friday was a bit more challenging then I had hoped, as the lake is fairly open and the winds were up. The site itself was amazing. A great weekend of boozing, swimming, fishing (though no luck), campfires and moonlight. Epic. It was my girlfriend's first time tent/canoe camping, so I was very pleased to see that she had a great time.

Otherwise, things are going pretty great. I'm back on the job hunt (for real) now, so I'm hoping to have something in the next little while. Here's hoping!

Cheers,
Reid

PS. I'm 29 and 1/2 today! Six months left in my twenties. Better get cracking on my "things to do before 30 checklist".
