Happy Canada Day!

For those not in the know, on this day 142 years ago, the nation of Canada was signed into existence, and what a century-and-some it has been since then.

I just spent the day in the mountains with one of my best friends under perfectly sunny skies, listening to a 300-song all-Canadian playlist, sitting on logs by rivers and making music without heed! What a perfect way to celebrate this wonderful nation, all it's people, and all that they stand for. To all Canadian readers- be proud! you are from an incredible place, and have an immense standard of living the envy of much of the globe. Where else can you go from open prairie, to dramatic mountainscape, to lakeside village, to theatrical parade and back again all in one day? I love it here and would never imagine living anywhere else. Happy birthday Canada, and to all its friends, children, and compatriots!
