Well, it's done... I took a few days to digest the tour (and a fair bit of turkey) before I wrote anything. I can't believe it's over. When I try to think of the whole thing, it's a blur and I can't focus on particular details, I have to look at it by days and by shows, then it is clear as day.To wrap up, I had two great shows on the island, John ...

Well... I'm on the island, the last stop... one more day. Is it weird that I have ''One Day More'' from Les Miserables going through my head? I'm thrilled for this last day of shows, Nanaimo and Victoria. John Barsby High and Royal Oak - end of the line. I am literally going to the end of the line too - going to head to Mile Zero of the Trans ...

OK... so I took the week off thing a little too seriously... so for not blogging for a while, been all wrapped up in it!!!Had great shows in Medicine Hat and Duchess and then headed to Calgary, there it was time to unwind, rest up, and prep for the week ahead. The week ahead was busy indeed, Canadian Student Leadership Conference in Olds! 800 ...

I apologize that the daily aspect of the blogs has slipped more than little.... the days have been more exhausting than anticipated (though I should have). Had a great two days of shows in Thunder Bay. Rob felt we shot some of our best footage and had some really great schools, the kids were great! Having gone to Lakehead for 4th year, it was nice ...

This won't be long but I'll fill in the blanks on video later today...Friday was a crazy and exhausting day, but totally worth it. Three really good shows at three great schools. Ottawa is such a great town, I got to remember why I enjoyed going to university there. We had a nice respite Friday night and saw some friends. Saturday we were able to ...

Tired is creeping over me... that's for sure. I need to get a better handle on sleeping at the right times to make sure I have the energy to get through the day. It's not affecting the shows, those are going well, but Rob and I are getting at each other a bit. I suppose I should have expected it, we've been together pretty much 24-7 for 10 days ...

Well, Day 6 brought us to Halifax West High and Northumberland High schools in Nova Scotia. Great schools, great kids I'm hitting my stride. The scenery as always was phenomenal, from there we headed to Summerside PEI (host city of last year's national student leadership conference) so beautiful! We made it in just in time to catch the sunset. I ...

Had an unbelievable first day of shows in Corner Brook! The energy in the room was insane and I fed off of it the whole time, two phenomenal shows! It was a heck of a way to start, and it set the tone for me and for my camera man Rob, he got a better sense of what I'll be doing day to day and how the school shows will work, we're finding the ...

OK what a drive!! I have seen the west part of the island before, but not the other 3/4 of it - such incredible landscape! Let me preface this next part by saying to those of you who don't know... I'm a major nerd... but it was like driving through the Lord of the Rings today. There was hilly areas that were reminiscent of the Shire, boulder pocked

I plan on writing something more substantial this evening when we get in, but I'm up before my alarm and ready to get underway. Today, we really put tire to pavement and get the first 700 km's behind us: St. John's to Corner Brook. This promises to be a spectacular drive.After running around a bit, getting the car, and loading up on supplies ...

Well, it finally started. After planning since January, we're underway.Had a great (if odd) day at Bishop Reding in Milton, my standing booking for the first day of school. We had two fire alarms, one at the half way point of my show, but it all worked out. The kids have such a great energy at that school and I love going there. I mean, I literally

Well... it's here! Since the inception of this idea back in January, it's been a lot of work, stress, planning and excitement... but starting tomorrow, I'm hitting the road. 29 schools in 29 days, and raising money for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, in a word - it's going to be epic. So, tomorrow we hit the road to Milton, Ontario for a

Well, we're now less than 3 weeks out and the anticipation is killing me!! I have reached a tipping point with my mind and body that I know all to well, and which will make these next few weeks interesting. I often don't carry stress well, and it's been that way since I was a kid. It tends to manifest itself in physical ways, be they pimples as a ...

Well, we are just over a month out from the start of the tour, and a million things are running through my mind everyday. I'm going over things again and again making sure I am taking every eventuality into account. One of the things I know I'm going to need... music. I love music, of all kinds, and I am one of those type of people for whom music ...

Well, it's almost the end of June... schools are out and there are a scant few teachers lurking about the hallways of their institutions, but thankfully - it seems that I have been able to lock down a nice tight schedule for the the tour! The schedule is set and we are ready to go in just a couple of months. Here's how it looks:SEPT 8th: (first day

This week we are coming up on 100 days until my ''Hero Inside: Road Trip'' starts, and I could not be more excited!For those unaware of who I am and what I do, my ''Hero Inside'' presentation is a comedy based motivational presentation. I have been a speaker for 20 years. Being a special ''anniversary year'' for me I wanted to do something unique ...
