Terrace

There are voices drifting over the muggy night air from somewhere up the street. I have arrived in Terrace and am happy to be staying with friends I have not seen for quite some time. Too long really. We had the most amazing dinner of smoked black cod, baby potatoes and asparagus. I have eaten like a queen this past two weeks. Fresh fish almost every night, halibut and salmon. mmmmmm

This trip home to the Coast has been eventful as usual. It has been a long time since I have been in the North West in the summer and not been tied to a day job. In some ways it's a lonely time of year as it is the busiest time of year. Everyone is working long hours or away on holiday with their family. I did get to see everyone I wanted to see, but only one or two at at time. Fall and Winter are the big gathering times.

Terrace. I have now left the coast and am 132 km's inland. It was a beautiful day aside from the humidity (felt a bit like Southern Ontario). Went for a quick jaunt on my friends motorcycle to pick up some dinner items. The water line on the Skeena river is astounding. I missed the actual flooding by two weeks, but the muddy scum left several feet up the trees makes me realize the magnitude of the flooding in these parts.

Thursday night I am playing at the Artful Cup on the main street in Terrace. The show starts at 8pm and Gary Maltin will be joining me for some songs. Tomorrow I have a full day of prep ahead of me, so I should be off to sleep.
