We got a funny call last night from my sister, Sarah Jane. "Would you like to come with Mom and me to see the Holiday Train. You'll have to hurry and get dressed" **Note to non-Canadian readers: Getting dressed at this time of the year means long-johns, ski-pants, layers of fleece, 2 kinds of gloves and a double layer of hats - a toque and a fleece hood - getting "dressed" for winter.
We went to the bridge on Hwy 59 and saw the train come in, then drove down to the old CPR station down by the Tube to join in with the crowd. One of the box cars opened up and there was a full stage with lights inside. I didn't catch the name of the group of women singing (they said they were from Newfoundland, a little research tells me it was probably Ennis) but Colin Linden was one of the guitar players.
The Holiday Train has been going across Canada and the northern United States, stopping in communities to help bring in food and money for local foodbanks since 1999.
I think that's a brilliant idea.

Everywhere is war -
Me say war.
(apparently this is a pretty common SOD)
I think I have a SOD today because I fell asleep trying to remember to get up and find the slides of Sarah Jane and Mike's wedding. I'm going to get them scanned and added in to my portfolio.
Which, btw, means that if anyone is looking for an Ontario photographer for events, weddings or emergency services pictures you should give them my name. I'm going to spend 2007 building up my portfolio so I am looking for subjects willing to trade/barter/etc for photo services.
Of course the best way to build my portfolio quickly will be to sort through and digitize the 1000's of slides in binders around here.... starting with SJ's wedding.
