Still chugging along.

What a productive weekend!!!

It's been a busy Fall/Winter for me so far. Already I've been to Vancouver twice, and Toronto once. All work related. The good news though, is that Marc and I were able to collaborate and get things on track. We now have a rough timeline for our project, with an overall deadline of March 30th 2010.

I can't speak for Marc, but it was quite amazing to relive the experience of this summers adventure. We went through the majority of the logged tape. We also wrote and voiced two trailer bits, which we hope will be posted soon online. At this time we're still working on getting our music together AND also getting our hands on some historical stills. Overall, just reconnecting with Marc made it worth it... just to get that excitement going again.

In the meantime, I'll be speaking to a highschool class next week about my current profession AND what the Green Traveller project was all about. It should be fun.

On another note, I've been bad. Super bad. Slowly, but surely the weight has been coming back on. It is all diet... I can't help myself. I love crappy food SO much, but I need to put a stop to this, or the first season of the Green Traveller will need a wide lens to ensure all of my 400 pounds fit into the screen.

Work life has been great... family life even better. Kali (my little baby) is growing quickly and already crawling all over the place. I have even more time on my hands, as I recently dropped out of my hockey pool (which quite honestly was taking up way too much of my working/family time).

In addition to getting this project together and the trailer, I must say researching the first season has been quite fun. Basically I'm at the 'gathering' stage. Province by province I'm clipping out all the amazing green travel opportunities our country has to offer. It's like planning for the holidays in a way... Some neat quirky travel finds to be seen for sure. I pray this project finds some success. Regardless, this will make for very cool Canada travel in my lifetime.

Anyway, holidays are almost here... and plenty to do. Keep an eye out for the latest Spirit of the North magazine. Its available now. I didn't know what to write, so I just put together a grab-bag of neat winter activities to do in northern BC. The Haida Gwaii chronicles should be out in the Spring.

Til next we speak. Ta Ta!!!
