Cottaging,golfing and motorcycle rides. Maybe some outdoor music concerts.We didn’t have much of a spring. We went up to the cottage in May and had a completerange of weather. Snow, rain and hail. The weather didn’t seem to deter the bugs though.The day we left, we were chased to the car by black flies. Nasty little buggers.We’ve been enjoying the summer. A few weeks ago we went up to Casino Rama to see PeterFrampton’s Guitar Circus. What a blast. The Robert Cray band opened and Don Felder wasfeatured as a special guest. He came out with a Gibson double-necked 12 string and wowedthe crowd with a great rendition of Hotel California.Great show, fantastic venue. We’ll be returning on August 17 th for the Rock ‘n’ Blues Fest.I am unable to say no to a show that features: Ten Years After, Edgar Winter Band, CannedHeat, Rick Derringer & Pat TraversLast week we spent an extended weekend on Pelee Island. It’s a beautiful spot and perfect ifyou just want to relax. Not a lot to do there, but there is a very nice winery. And yes, severalbottles followed me home.We’re looking forward to some more trips up to Muskoka, some BBQ’s and some family gettogethers. Hey, we live in Canada; we need to celebrate the summer.In the meantime, I have finished the final draft on my book and will be looking to find anagent to see if there is any interest in publishing. Now that would be cool. For now though,I am moving on to my next book.If you’re looking to read some stories by new and unpublished authors, you should check outWattpad. It’s an on-line book-sharing web site started up by some friends of mine.It’s a change for me. As you may have guessed, I’m more of an analog guy who prefers aprinted book. But I can incorporate this into my life, I think.
