Had a creativity kick last night and started recording a short instrumental song using my trusty little casio PT-80 synth, which I quickly emailed to my pal Brian to add guitar to. Then today, I walked around my town with a camera filming  jittery scenes. This is what happened when I put the two together:

November has been colder than usual this year; and for some reason as soon as the cold arrives I suddenly find myself looking to keep my hands busy (and warm) with creative projects.

I just taught myself how to knit cable stitch. For years I thought it was far too complicated for me to learn but little did I know how easy it is once you get the swing of things. Can’t wait to get into more complex cable stitches.

I also made a short trip up to Montreal around Halloween with Tim and our old pal Dave. We walked up Mount Royal and it suddenly began to snow (a bit early even for MTL). I love visiting this city since there is never a shortage of things to do and people to see. Thank goodness I’m only an hour plane ride and 5 hour car ride away.

Some of my Top things to do in MTL include (mostly eating):

1) Fresh warm bagels at St-Viateur
2) Poutine and veggie dog at Lafleurs
3) Brunch at Aux Vivres
4) Spruce beer (fresh from Émile Bertrand’s)
5) Walking all around the city. Just like Boston, Montreal is a great walking city.
