Slither

Joey reveals to Herb what happened immediately after ‘the punch’ at their regular kitchen table post mortem. It seems as if our protagonist was able to slink away unscathed while chaos ensued…

My Kind of Scoundrel

We catch up with our resident ne’er-do-wells in the Cold Springs Arena, enjoying the Canadian minor hockey experience: mediocre hockey and sub-par food and beverages. As expected, Gaston has taken a shining to the kid with the glasses…

Bears and Fancy Coffees

Joey begins the research portion of his assignment on grizzly bears with a trip to Starbean – Herb’s go-to coffee joint in Cold Springs. Herb’s journey of self-discovery begins by examining his love of upscale caffeinated beverages and yeah, the milk foam designs are indeed pretty cool.

Do Most Bears… ?

Over a fresh cup of chocolate milk and a mediocre coffee, new back seat buddies Joey and Herb start to connect the dots. Despite the troubling conclusion, Herb seems to be taking it in stride.

A Double-Double™ It Is

For those non-Canadians out there, a Double-Double™ is the standard way to order a coffee with two creams and two sugars at any Tim Hortons location. A Regular™ is one cream/one sugar and the other option on the table is the Triple-Triple™ if you like your coffee… decadent. Anyway, Herb now has a better appreciation for Joey’s plight.

Credit Card Confession

Joey’s strange trip to Cold Springs gets even weirder. He has a bear sitting next to him. Who talks. And pays by credit card.

Half-Caf, Non-Fat, Dry Latte

Is this English? It is apparently and I’m being told it’s a very specific coffee order. Also: cliffhanger alert!

Bear Break-in

There’s still an excruciatingly long way to go to get to Cold Springs. Joey is ready for a snack stop, but that has been delayed by a strange bear-related incident. Oh well, onto the next town (hours away). Sigh.
