I’ve known this song for years but never recorded it. One of my favourite Modest Mouse songs. Here it is. I’m playing 1 million different guitar tracks at once so that’s why the video isn’t 100% synched to all the pretty guitars in the song. Sweet deal. Enjoy.

It may come as a surprise to you, but I’m not really at that prepared for winter conditions. I hate to shop so I never have the things I need for basic survival of the elements. To wit, I wore a spring jacket and my non-water resistant leather riding boots to a place with areas of knee-deep snow. Thankfully, the cottage came equipped with a snazzy parka from my former workplace and a pair of gigantic sorels. It changed everything as I was able to go out and commune with the deer and venture onto the thickly frozen lake without getting cold or falling on my bottom. What a novel idea!

We are spending Josh’s birthday weekend at one of my favourite places. My best pal Al’s cottage is 6km deep into the woods on Jack Lake about 2.5 hours northeast of Toronto. It’s an A-frame with high ceilings and a wall of windows overlooking the lake. We have lots of snow, an intoxicatingly warm fire in the woodstove and six deer as our constant companions. One is cheeky enough to nip directly from the feed bag on the deck. It is absolute bliss.
As we speak Josh is snorzing away on his sofa and I’m just sipping wine until it’s time to throw another log on the fire on mine. I am warm and grateful and happy.

It’s 18 minutes long, in Dutch and maybe matters to a very tiny handful of people in the world but I’m posting this video here anyway. Suddenly discovering my very sweet oddball uncle Frans in a documentary about him being “the king of the extras” in Holland left me in sentimental tears. I couldn’t stop laughing at them using arrows to show him walk by in all of the different scenes.
Even though my Dutch comprehension isn’t great, I loved listening to him talk about his extra work and his book in his proudly obsessive way. The nifty green typewriter that he bangs it all out on. His sweatpants, backpack and bright red vest. Him shuffling along like he’s wearing slippers and shovelling the front walk in his Canadian Olympic toque. (That part made me burble up big time.) The birdhouse and the wood panelling that my opa built by hand. All the copper tchotchkes and books that I love to look at when I’m there. It’s so weird seeing my family and their home in this context. Good weird, but weird.
I love that it all matters so much to him. That he created a world for himself that he’s proud of outside of being my oma’s constant companion. And that he’s not shy in showing that he saved all of his books from ending up in the publisher’s trashbin.
He’s a delightful weirdo and I love him to bits.

It’s a little known fact that double-salted licorice monsters keep the tourists at bay in the Jordaan district of Amsterdam.
