Broadcast

Image
December 29, 2024. TSN broadcasters doing their analysis during the first period intermission at the Czechia-Slovakia game in Ottawa. The game was pretty good through the outcome was never really in doubt. #hockey #tsn https://flic.kr/p/2qCABBP

IIHF Trophy

Image
December 29, 2024 extra photo. This is the IIHF Men's World Jr. trophy, which doesn't appear to have a name, with Andrea and I posing behind it. What you don't see is that the trophy is tilted toward the back, so when it's photographed like this it appears level even though the camera is above the level of the trophy. https://flic.kr/p/2qCFhBt

Double Dz's Diner

Image
December 27, 2024. Just outside Peterborough, Double Dz's Diner offers better doughnuts and filling food for the weary traveller. It also features this work of art outside the front. Today we drove back from Barrie through generally good weather. https://flic.kr/p/2qCGefd

Springwater

Image
December 26, 2024. Springwater Provincial Park, near Barrie. The park was actually closed, but we went in anyways and saw a lot of logging activity. Not old and damaged trees, as you might expect, but the strongest and healthiest. Sad. https://flic.kr/p/2qC2phz

Bill

Image
December 25, 2024. This is my brother Bill, who I now realize is the spitting image of my grandfather on my mother's side. We were there at their home near Fergus to visit family for the holiday. https://flic.kr/p/2qC8cyZ

Mall Santa

Image
December 24, 2024. Free day in Barrie. We went down to Georgian Mall. This was the scene at the mall Santa booth - I watched for a while while Andrea was in the Shoppers. I picked up a buff and some goggles for my upcoming bike trip. Quiet relaxed day. https://flic.kr/p/2qBZnqX

The Road to Barrie

Image
December 23, 2024. We drove through the snow today to a hotel in Barrie, our usual stop when visiting my brother for Christmas. https://flic.kr/p/2qBWBdc
