Happy Morning #2!

It was a happy morning this morning, as (thanks to a few minor adjustments based on some very timely advice - thanks Craig) I woke up refreshed, mostly in the same place I fell asleep in, and WARM! Yes, the summer sleeping bag over the winter sleeping bag and the towel under the neck were a huge success.

I had my first nocturnal encounters as well, on the way home from school last night. All humanimals so far - first a crew having a campfire, and then three young men who were quite aromatic. Just like with most animals, they seemed just as frightened of me as I was of them... I stopped to talk to the campfire crew, one of whom was quite curious as to why I would be snowshoeing into the woods with a guitar at 9:30 at night; I told her that I walked home through the woods. I didn't tell her that home was in the woods! So now I've got my guitar at my tent; one more thing to amuse myself, although so far it's been too cold at night to do much but go straight to sleep. By the time it warms up enough for me to play some guitar before going to sleep, the guitar should be out of tune enough to match my singing!

I want to work a few key phrases into this entry, so internet savvy students living in the townhouse residence at Nipissing can figure out why there's a guy eating dinner in the parking lot. Admittedly, I was a little shy at first and wondered what people might think of a guy living in his car, but I'm coming to enjoy my meals. Here's a picture of my breakfast nook; I think it's got about the nicest view of any I've ever sat in.

So that's all for now - off to art class.

You are "amazing"...talk about a revolutionary dressed up as a conservative educator. If I can find you on campus when you're doing the 'urban' thing, I'll going to buy you lunch.

Keep up the great work. I'd like to speak to you sometime about the non-traditional way of living (e.g., I lived out of my car for four months and camped along the Rideau Canal whilst working at the Ottawa Heart Institute...ahhhhh....great homeless memories!!!).

Cheers,

Prof. K
