Hey All! (By: Elijah)
We have a few days off between our northern Ontario tour and the shows that we’re going to do out west. I am now with a group of friends at, ‘miman’ Alyosha’s apartment in the Plateau area of Montreal. We’re watching the figure skating portion of the Olympics, and of course, somedramaticalyarranged neo-classical (avec rock guitar) is blaring over the loud speakers in whatever Vancouver arena. Watching these amazing athletesexecute bi-zillion-Salchows, toe loop jumps, and lutz jumps. Mind you, this is all in waiting for the next hockey game’ mind you.
The venues in the nord d’Ontario were ‘theatres’ for the most part. Huntsville (just north of Toronto), Blind River (a good ways north of that) and Geraldton (about 60mi south fromthe furthest north you’re able to drive in Ontario).

Hey everyone,
I know I am extremely late for the blog highlighting our trip to London, England over Christmas, but I hope you can forgive how busy we became after our return.
Part of the surprise was from our very good friend Rick Smith, former NHL hockey player with the Boston Bruins, who gave us tickets to the Boston vs. Ottawa Senators game in Ottawa. As you know, James is a huge Boston fan, and both of us were extremely excited to watch the stars of the team up close…we were seated right near the ice, which made it seem so surreal to see these guys in real life. What a treat! Especially for a couple Canadian boys who love Hockey.
We stayed in a nice hotel in Ottawa in the technological district, and we flew out the next night landing in Heathrow the next morning.
That day (we skipped a night because of the time change) we took a stroll over to Buckingham palace near the hotel. During that time, the “changing of the guard” was taking place, which made the experience of the grand palace that much more interesting. We watched the soldiers march around the circle, and taking as many pictures as we could.
