The weekend following Mountain Masochist in Virginia, Tamsin and I heading back to Newfoundland to attend the wedding of my best bud from High School. I hadn’t been home in just over two years, since my other best bud from H.S. got married, so it was long overdue! Flying to ‘The Rock’ in November is… →
