Adventurer Seeks Same

Hey Toronto/GTA/Southwestern Ontario amigos,

Interested in adventure? Own, or have access to, a GPS unit? Toronto-area SWJ (single white journalist) is seeking a free-spirited, intrepid individual willing to accompany him on an intriguing urban adventure. Must be willing to be written about/appear on radio should story pitch be given the green light. Access to GPS unit is a must since SWJ in question is too cheap to buy his own. :)

Will Oktoberfest ever end?

You think prairie winter's harsh. . . try two weeks as the Oktoberfest reporter... i've been grabbed in more places than I care to mention.
Anyhoo, I have finally "officially" (i.e. my cable and phone are hooked up) moved to Kitchener. Bit of a slower pace than London. i.e. lot less murder but people sure do ram their cars into a lot of things. Busy doing more pick ups than I care to mention.
BUT, being as we've been a part for a while and have come to forget why we wanted to kill each other at the end of the fall term. . . I propose a christmasy reunion. Since most of those in my neck of the woods are in the T dot, how about a reunion dinner a la last year's (although this time I hope I don't end up drinking a crap load of $2 beers with Krissie at a gangster bar).
Anyone with organizational skills and/or time to devote to reuniting your not-so-long-lost classmates, please step up (I know nothing about Toronto and if I plan it, we'll all wind up in a gangster bar with Krissie).
Of course any help from Kitchener will be offered with minimal resistance. . .

The Rob Report

Hey Folks,

I too miss the journalism school crew. Hope you’re all very well.

I’ve been back home in Winnipeg for just over a month now. I’m working as a reporter/photographer for Canstar Community News. The same company that runs the Winnipeg Free Press owns Canstar and it publishes five weekly newspapers. The newsroom is pretty small and it’s a solid crew of people. Including myself, there are five reporters, along with a managing editor and a supplement coordinator.

The job is good. Along with covering a range of stories throughout Winnipeg, I’m also doing some rural coverage since one of our papers is published outside the city. It’s hectic, but I’m getting some great experience.

It’s good to be around family and friends here again too. I am, however, not looking forward to another prairie winter. It snowed here last week. What the eff?

It’s also my third time living in Winnipeg, which is somewhat strange. Occasionally, it’s like being 45 years old and still haunting high school. “Hey, want to come for a ride in my sweet-ass Camaro?”

Keep on rockin’ in the free world, my beautiful journalism peeps.

Adios,
Rob
