Chub Creek Podcast

Just thought I’d say hello. Music today is just me playing with a cool new iPad app (yes I finally got one, the iPad Air, more on that on a later episode) called “Scape” by Brian Eno. It’s so much fun to mess around with. Happy birthdays to my Dad and my Son.

An extra long one today. Join me as I try to assemble wise words on the road, then later meet up with Gary for a long (LONG) hike at Algonquin Park. Two songs today: “Black Love (Nomis Yor's Feed Your Addiction Remix)” by The Easton Ellises and “Master and Servant” by Nouvelle Vague. If you’re reading this on the website see below for a bunch of photos from our trip :)

Join me for breakfast. (Today’s Musical Selections: Keep Cool Vocal Mix by Djad and So Low, So High by Shanendoah and the Night) The photos here on the website are of the new kitchen bar, the green paint, the new sink and counter, the chalkboard wall, and black cupboards. Also photos of my babies around the time of the segment I played of Mary and I going to the video store :)

About an hour of the kids’ visit. We get up to all sorts of silly stuff. I miss em a lot already. If you’d like a copy of our catchy tune you can download it from the Music Page :) You can see photos of the trip on the Chub Creek facebook page at facebook.com/chubcreek

Yikes it’s August already. That means it’s Fall soon, which is actually pretty awesome, so never mind. Anyway that has nothing to do with this episode, which is really just me driving around in the new Honda. That’s Precious right there in the photo, (if you’re visiting the website) parked by the old barn at Chub Creek. Today’s music was “Leave it Out” by Cursor Minor.

One scotch in the rain is worth an angry chipmunk in the bush. Don’t forget to let me know what you think of the slightly shorter format, or if you would prefer even shorter or even longer. Email me with the subject line “Length Matters”. Or post it on my facebook page where you can also see a few photos from this episode. If you enjoyed today’s song, you can download “Waiting” by Alice Boman for free. Be sure to look for her upcoming EP, “Skisser”. Oh and you can follow me on Instagram at SpoonDaveSquarePics.

It’s my beautiful daughter Mary’s birthday today!!! Everybody please wish her happy birthday or I will come find you and egg your house. We had a great time today at Wye Marsh. Thanks to Rackets vs. VED for their rowdy track “Just Friends”. I’m too lazy to keep posting photos on the home page, but by all means if you’d like to see photos of today’s adventures, please visit the Chub Creek Facebook page at facebook.com/chubcreek. Like something while you’re at it. LIKE IT! ha ha.

Bug infested walkage at Forks of the Credit Provincial park. Actually it wasn’t that bad, I just made the mistake of reading all about the worst kinds of stinging bugs right before leaving. (Read about the Tarantula Hawk and other horrible stinging bugs here). A bit of yabber about public speaking, some more yammer about how my dog’s tongue reminds me of my first girlfriend... and more. Music is “We’re the Kids” by Parade of Lights from the BIRP! Indie Playlist for July 2013.

Join me at Cold Creek as I hike my way to near heat exhaustion. Today we chat about birds, Ghost stories, helecopters, ancient and modern Egypt, Teaching, High School English, the 777 plane crash, graphic design and star wars. Susy Rice’s article is here. I highly recommend it if you’re into the ‘Wars. I’m posting my awesome, super incredible life changing tweet exchange with Ms. Rice below, along with some snapshots I got before almost dying in the heat. Today’s beautiful music selection was “If I Were You” by Timothy Carroll.

Some baseball, some hiking, some bugs. Then more bugs. Then more bugs. Today’s excellent musical selection was “New Summer” by Young Galaxy.
