Home again
Sep. 27th, 2015 09:32 pmJust got home and logged in after a seven-hour drive from the Muskokas back to Ottawa.
There was a wedding in the not-so-immediate family to which I was invited to help represent the groom's side. Hence the journey to which I've been vaguely referring.
As a consequence of today's journey - interrupted in part by a collision between other drivers in Algonquin Park - I am too tired to care about things like "supermoon eclipses".

Some Thoughts on Travelling in Ottawa
Sep. 14th, 2014 04:53 pmFollowing up on this comment...
I did say that I have a long list of places across Ottawa-Gatineau that I want to personally visit and explore on foot. Partly that's due to plain old curiosity, and partly it's due to this project I've taken on to document street names' histories via my irregular series of essays in Spacing Ottawa. (Thanks to anyone reading this who's been following that project over the years thus far, by the by!)
In the last couple of months, in between my other chores and quests for things like full-time steady employment, I've managed to knock off large chunks of a few neighhbourhoods on that list:
Manor Park
Southern Rockcliffe Park
Lindenlea
Tunney's Pasture
Westboro Beach
Riverside Park/Elmvale/Alta Vista
Lowertown East
Southern Glebe
It's not complete, and there's a long way to go. And a long way already travelled.
Hoping to learn much more along the way.

Nearby Places I Haven't Visited Yet
Sep. 7th, 2014 01:54 pmThe question was raised in my mind a few days ago yesterday, thanks to
rfmcdpei. Living in Ottawa-Gatineau, there's a bit of a list I could cobble together without trying too hard. That list would be a long one. It would be a long list, even without my having to consider whether or not we're talking about travelling outside of Ottawa-Gatineau.
More to follow later in the weekday on this subject in particular...
