12/11/07 – The Old Fire Hall, Rossland, BC
We were stopped by some police officers today as we drove through a small town. Lucky for them there was a four-way stop controlling the hectic streets, and this is where they set up shop. Now Darren and I are both remarkably “lame”; we have no vices to sparkle up our arresting allure.

12/6/07 – Saskatoon, Wildwood Mennonite Church
I’ve got my dentist in Toronto. I’ve got my aesthetician north of Saskatoon. I’ve got my car dealership in Lethbridge. Now all I need is a gynecologist somewhere in the Yukon and I’m set! (more…)

12/5/07 – Prince Albert, Turk’s Coffee House
One more time we hit the road before hitting the hay. No one had better accuse me of being a lazy musician. Lazy implies lolling about, and I surely have no spare time for such frivolities! (more…)
