Demetri Martin

Seemed like an appropriate time for some jokes about housing situations and throwing stones...



In London Ontario (where I am visiting at the moment) they are trying to reintroduce Trumpeter Swans to the environment. Apparently, they were once a thriving species here but because of hunting and other factors have become almost extinct in Southern Ontario. I've spent the last two days visiting them by the river. They are in a fenced in area to protect them and they seem to be chilling with the other birds of the area without much conflict. I've been feeling an unlikely affinity to them. Apparently they aren't on autopilot when it comes to migration. They head where they can survive and historically heading out of extinction into awareness.

One of those days..

Going to need some more Demetri Martin in the mix. This is part 1 of 6 in the "If I" series to get you started. The rest is on youtube for your viewing pleasure...
