I was talking to my son Josh on Saturday about how I discovered this or that band, and I told him that the person who had introduced me to much of the music I love, when we were both at CKDU-FM Halifax in the 1980s, is now a taxi driver in Antarctica. He must think I'm lying half the time with my stories, and it's true that the ice vehicles Genevieve Ellison drives aren't really taxis, but more like shuttles, something that we don't have in Ottawa. I've been reading Genevieve's blog on and off for weeks now; she's describing real exploration, personal and geographic both.
