There are 5 stages to a Canadian winter:
Shock
Denial (we are here)
Anger
Depression
April

When it's cold in my winter wonderland, tees are forever friends. They smile all year round, even at -40C/-40F, in the beautiful boreal forest. They make lungs joyful with their refreshing air. Trees and I, together, are sending joy, hope, healing and warmth to the world. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Wo5TCPvgpfY

This one makes me laugh every year… because it is so very true.

Well, I'm going to need to find a way to follow interesting stuff on CBC (music/arts/comedy/across Cda interesting stuff) some way or another. At least til I figure out how Mastodon locals work. I DON'T want all political argument and politicizing stuff. This might be a good option: a CBC Mastodon server ???

For the #GuardiansoftheGalaxyHolidaySpecial, we used old-school rotoscoping animation in the style of the Ralph Bakshi films I liked growing up - and to give us that 1970’s & ‘80’s nostalgic Christmas Special feel. We filmed actors Luke Klein, Michael Rooker & Sean Gunn & then traced over the footage frame-by-frame. Luke’s features were altered to more closely resemble young Peter, Rooker’s fin was added, & Sean was reduced in size to his younger self.

Sadness is precious. Don't reject it as something you didn't need it. Sadness helped you in many ways, such as seeing humanity, relating with others, gaining new perspectives, and, most importantly, empowering you to find your inner joy and strength. From my cabin in the Yukon woods, I am dispatching joy, hope and positivity.
