WOW! At long last, I'm sitting in the rocky mountains and have a moment to post some pictures of the trip so far. I left Ottawa 3 and a half weeks ago to head west for my first time in 18 years. It's brought back lots of hazy memories and even some that were clear beyond expectations. The trip has hit me with truckloads of inspiration and I'll do my best to turn all these ideas into songs that tell the story properly. For now, enjoy the photo version of the story and I apologize if it takes a while to load:
