After a few days in hot southern Ontario, riding through Hardwood Hills' Trails near Barrie, we drove almost four hours north to Killarney Provincial Park only to see snow outside the tent on day two (minus 6 with windchill!). We spent the day playing pool inside the deserted and eerie Killarney Bay Inn, which felt like the inn from The Shining. Population 500, this was the only place open in Killarney, besides the general store. Tourism season starts May 24 weekend.
But, it was already summer in my heart. After a jog around the park, I ran into the water, then I ran out of the water. Earth shattering cold.
After a few all natural hot dogs over the fire, I grabbed my Art Kit from the park office (the Friends of Killarney loan out watercolours, paper--all the tools for a Group of Seven wanna-be). In many ways, the park wouldn't exist if it wasn't for their efforts.

I don't recall how I found the East Village Cafe. It's not like it's in my neighbourhood. A few doors west of the Aeolian Hall, it's east London. But for the past few years, almost...

While driving, I could hardly lift my leg to step on the clutch. Hip flexor is pooped. The day before was my first cross country ski of the season.
Pain aside, it was a ski day...
I began listening to Jonathan Goldstein on CBC radio while driving three-hours back from Meaford, Ontario to London--a trip I used to do quite often. WireTap, the name of his show, is a series of telephone conversations with his friends and family.
Reintegration into the real world is imminent. Weighed in today.
Lost 2.5 pounds: inch off abdomen and a slice, about half inch, off the buttinski.
Healthy food and exercise aside, I'm convinced I lost wine weight. Tonight we get one glass at our final supper. At cardio max class I pushed it hard knowing it was only hours away! Cardio max is a high-intensity interval class: 2, 4 and 6 minutes on different machines. Time flies by!
Lunch with the gang over a hearty canellellini bean shrimp stew.
