Jack of Fables: Volume 5 – Turning Pages by Bill Willingham, Matthew Sturges, Russ Braun, Tony Akins, Jose…

Grand Trunk Trail
It’s time for another Photographic Tour! This time we are exploring the Grand Trunk Trail in St. Marys, Ontario. I accessed the trail via Milt Dunnel Field and ran up these stairs to the bridge. This high bridge over the Thames River was first constructed in 1857. Trains continued to use the bridge right up…

Know Your History – Storytelling Rap
Today, I want to look at one of the most difficult things a rapper can do throughout the course of a song – tell a story. Doesn’t sound very difficult, does it? After all, we tell stories all the time in our daily lives. But I am sure you have a friend or two who…

Once Upon a Time VS Fables
I just finished watching Season One of Once Upon a Time. I really had no interest in watching the show, and it’s not because I’m not interested in fairy tales. In fact, just the opposite. I love the idea of exploring these characters within a modern world and I love the themes within the stories. The…

St. Mary’s Loop Trail
It’s time for another Photographic Tour. This time, we are going to explore the Loop Trail in St. Mary’s, Ontario. The entire trail is 13 kilometers long and these signs help you navigate it either way. I decided to follow the green arrows because I wanted to get to Sparling Bush quicker. There are several…

So jump in the boat, grab a paddle,…

A Run to the Lighthouse
I love trail running. My mom loves lighthouses. So, when I discovered a 3 kilometer nature trail that ends at a lighthouse, I just knew I had to lace up my shoes, strap my camera to my wrist, and hit the trail. It’s time for another Photographic Tour! Today we are exploring George Nicholson Trail…

Riverside Skatepark – Cambridge, Ontario
It’s time for another skatepark tour. Today, we are visiting Riverside Rails in Cambridge, Ontario. There is a really nice bowl course that was opened in 2007. The street course was opened two years later. It’s nicely laid out for single runs with plenty of obstacles, rails, and even a set of stairs to jump.…

Transformers Done Right
Transformers Volume 2: International Incident The art in this trade paperback is absolutely gorgeous. I also love how they keep the original transformer characters looking like I remember them. There is even a nice joke about it thrown in. It really makes no sense for the constructicons to be green and purple in colour but…
