New Continent, Who Dis. Landing in Barcelona. August 14, 2019.

A too short, cold sleep later and the Pyrenees appeared as a ripped seam in the distance. An hour before landing, an inflight entertainment program in the “Spirit of Canada” category piqued my interest: The Frozen Road. Although the cyclist and director, Ben Page, was traveling the Arctic in...

Toronto Multiple Nexus Achievement Unlocked! August 11–13, 2019.
