dichotomy.

Trying to take a little appreciation of the sunshine in Confederation Park, I made dutiful observations that ruined what may otherwise have been a very chic lunch.

According to Ottawa urban legend, the fountain that resides in the park was donated from England, where it originally sat in Trafalgar Square in London. After a Londoner decided to off himself in the fountain, complaints were made that aforementioned fountain was haunted.

even less so is bathing in such fountains when you're grown.

the kee

While living in Muskoka, i've been introduced to a well known, popular establishment called The Kee to Bala. Every Monday night, hundreds of deprived-20 something-year-olds pile into yellow school buses and are carted to 'downtown Bala'. With a combination of plastic cups and themed nights (needless to say) I ventured into the world of not chic. That being said, I will reluctantly admit ... I had fun. Irony strikes again. 

I'm Waldo ... can you spot me?
