Setting the brushes aside. Can't do much more on the canvas. St Pat's Day. Time for whisky.

1916 Hills and Sky #tt1916

My profession is painting, not fighting.

The NHA is doomed. The owners are talking about creating the NHL next season to give Eddie Livingstone a one-team NHA league.

Minister of Militia, Sir Edward Kemp, is calling up men for Home Defence. He's worried about troubles across the border with the US.

The Irish are still upset that the Shamrocks were kicked out of the NHA. The Northern Fusiliers (228th Battalion) are overseas. Disaster

There's only one thing worse than drunken Irishmen - drunken Scotsmen.

St Pat's Day today. The Toronto Blueshirts will be marching in the parade. Their team got suspended from the NHA. Maybe NHL next year.

Lures, fishing rod, paint, sketch box, journal, brushes, mackinaw coat, cherry paddle, 3 pairs drawers, 2 shirts, 3 bottles whisky.

Starting to think what I need to pack to go North. Also thinking about whatever I leave behind I'll probably never see again.

My profession is painting, not fighting.

Reading in the papers that the Americans are holding back coal shipments at the border. More trees to be burned tonight.

A lovely landscape cannot appreciated by an unlovely mind.
