It’s been a tough winter for running outside. Most days it’s either too snowy or too cold or both. However, this Wednesday I got outside for a run and enjoyed the bright sun and the fresh air. Treadmill running gets old after a short while.
This is Woodside, a National Historic Site and the childhood home of William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada’s longest-serving Prime Minister. It looks like a interesting place. I’d like to take a tour when it’s warmer.
King was an interesting character, with an interest in the occult and in using seances to speak to his mother and to previous prime ministers and pets. He also claimed to see portents and omens in his shaving cream. He bears a rather startling resemblance to yours truly, as you can see in this selfie I took last summer. Note the same visionary, far seeing gazes and heroic miens.

I've not heard of this chap before.He would make a good basis for a character/general in a wargames campaign.One could have great fun with such divination...
Wow, what a site to run past on the morning jog! I love running in the snow, but I've only done it about three times here in the UK. Now, running in the rain on the other hand...

...'cause you're both drunk.
