Don't laugh -- back in 1993 I WAS the guy paddling the
red canoe & wearing the yellow raincoat in the far
corner of a Nat Geo photo showing a Canadian lake!
Yup, there were plenty of wardrobe changes involved in
that story, until word came back from D.C. to lose the
damn raincoat.

My tasks included charming a Catholic nun out of her
bright white habit and into something a little more
colourful, and also tossing bags of patates frites
into the air to give an ornithologist that "attacked
by a flock of Hitchcockian seagulls" look.
