Well, I'm happy to report that all of the planned shows on the Wild Life Sketches Way Out West (tour) are back behind in the realm of fond memories and today I'm heading out to Ucluelet, BC to dip my toes in the Pacific Ocean! After 9000km of driving and 40+ concerts getting here, I'm taking a break for a couple weeks to let Mildred rest her road weary tires and then starting to make my way back to Ontario. Thanks to all the people I met on the way out west, I get to see some familiar faces on the way back, too! And even if I'm on holiday, I can't imagine I'll spend it any other way but hunting for concerts and dropping in on places at the last minute with a guitar and a song to sing :)
