TVO Tripping series is fab... my subjective ranking 6-1...

...sliding into this during COVID-19 lockdown was a most blissful win!
Scenic waterway canal, slow boating, nature, birds, ppl, Ottawa pov approach from within... Absolute escapism. TVO docs set the bar high🇨🇦↗️

#2 - Tripping The Niagara
...exceptional sequel for a deep dive into a day trip I've done 20+ times. Niagara offers world class escapist environs & historical sights, as it meanders southward to The Falls. Bird's eye view ftw.

#3 - Tripping The French River
...idyllic waterway exploration, one I'd never witnessed up close. The 30,000 Islands delta flowing towards Georgian Bay is sublime.
Travelling via canoe, the icing on this tranquil journey's cake.

#5 - Tripping The Muskoka Lakes...
...while an Ontario sensory overload of appeal, alas for me, the region feels rather domesticated... multi-slip boathouse, monster homes... still, pleasant nature on a welcoming novice degree.

My top 20 Wes Anderson characters, ranked...

#1 - Dignan - Bottle Rocket
...Owen Wilson plays the -still- quintessential Wes character, a near mythical one who could stroll into any Wes film & fit in like a blue sky puzzle piece.

My top 20 Wes Anderson characters, ranked...

#2 - Steve Zissou - The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
...Bill Murray's lone headlining Wes role, my #8 fav film all-time, Zissou is apt, droll, & ever curious, all while heading his band of playful misfits aboard the Belafonte.
