Ishpatina Ridge. It felt like it had been part of my existence forever. My reality had shifted to include this mountainous trek as if it was all I had ever known. It had only been 48 hours since we had left the city, but civilization was now but an idealistic whisper of an idea, [...]
Some of you may have noticed the new “Friendlies” link along the far column of this page connecting to The Sword, which a good friend of mine has recently begun to maintain. This site, though currently a work in progess, contains a variety of .mp3-format spoken-word messages available for download. These sound files were taped from Christian speakers on Sunday mornings at varying church congregations (including [...]

Before I progress further and try to wrap up my own adventure (so yes, watch for part 4 of the series, coming along very soon to this website), I should also mention this very recent detail, regarding the upcoming ambitions of others to ascend Ishpatina Ridge. A group [...]
In regards to former trendy area restaurant ‘100 Georges’ being demolished from our downtown scape (as I discussed recently here and then shortly afterwards here), I previously included a link to a photograph I had scanned from that day’s newspaper. The caption below indicated (though not in so many words) that the ultimate purpose of the building’s razing was to assist in satisfying the space-hungry needs of our [...]

I have received multiple inquiries about the animal bones which Matt and I came across back on the second day of our hike to Ishpatina Ridge, nearby Scarecrow Lake (as mentioned in part two). I am not a wildlife biologist, so I cannot say with complete surety what creature’s remnants [...]
During a recent visit to my area grocery store, I had intended to pick myself up a bottle of the renowned vegetable cocktail, V8. I enjoy this healthy drink, what with its appealing crimson aspect, endearingly thick texture, and wholesome, nutrient-soaked flavour. However, I have begun to second-guess my single-minded preference for this liquid salad, as I have recently noticed [...]

Perhaps I’ve become a slight bit long-winded in my background explanation (which commenced here with a discussion of the events on Saturday, and then continued on here, with what happened earlier on Sunday) about the photograph heading this webpage . Let’s just see if I can finally wrap up this whole seemingly capricious adventure for [...]
Ah, so no big surprise. The predictions of my last posting are confirmed. As briefly decribed in today’s paper, another unoriginal vehicle tarmack is on its way, conveniently set in a prime downtown location. 100 Georges’ obituary was allowed two sentences and a colour photograph. The highly indifferent, factual tone of the brief caption could not help but encapsulate the depressing reality of it all: it [...]
As many people now know, a splendid downtown restaurant establishment called ‘100 Georges’ is finally gone, admid much sadness and disappointment. What was previously a beautiful local building and a source of fantastic food and music is now a pile of smoking rubble. That’s right: not just temporarily closed down, but physically removed from the earth’s surface with the help of heavy equipment and demolitions [...]

Now, let me return to the entry I began a few days ago, whose intention firstly was to explain the image heading this webpage, and secondly to elaborate on the wayward adventure Matt and I took two years ago to the rooftop of Ontario, Ishpatina Ridge. This adventure was already more than we had [...]
