Kangaroo Kiss & Koala Piss
"It was the best of times; it was the worst of times." Yeah, I know it's a grand opening; too bad I borrowed it from a great writer. But, I believe Dickens would have chuckled to see me use it in a story about being kicked by a horny Kangaroo and pissed on by a Koala.

Wheat Kings
This song is about David Milgaard, a Canadian man who served 23 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. In January of 1969, Milgaard and two friends took a road trip to Saskatoon. He was your typical 16 year old hippie, driving West on a road trip with his buddies. They made a pit stop in Saskatoon to pick up a pal, on the morning of Jan. 31, 1969.

Finding Us
Robert, upset by the flight delay but thankful he’d forgotten his wallet at the hotel on the day of the accident, decided to look for a place to buy a cell phone at the airport. John, always the planner, told Robert that he always kept a card in his wallet with a list of important phone numbers whenever he travelled. He said that Robert should do the same, just in case something bad ever happened. Robert was thankful that he took John's advice when he arrived at Hong Kong airport. When he first found out about the delay, he tried using a payphone to call Maryanne. He tried several times, but the calls kept dropping before he could get through.

The Wall
I’ve travelled to China 5 times in my life and all of those trips hold special significance. My first trip, in 2002, was special for two reasons. First, it was my first time on an overseas trip but second and more important was the fact that I met my future wife on that trip.
