They Came From Away

Freshly back from vacation, I was going to regale you all with stories of our trip to Ontario and the fun we had, the food we ate, the parties we attended and the storms we outran. That was my plan before I read yesterday's newspapers where I came across this little article:

Click on the link when you have a moment and read all the way through the comments section.

We spent a lot of time on vacation in Upper Canada (an islander term!) trying to explain to our friends and family why we occasionally feel like we're living in the twilight zone here on the island. For a long time, I thought it was just us. But you know, Buzz and I have lived in a lot of different places in the last 20+ years and in each and every place have managed to assimilate into the local population, put down roots, make great, long-lasting friendships and really enjoy ourselves.

Anyway...not to get all soap-box-ey, or anything...just thought the article was an interesting illustration of the ying and yang of living here.

I'll be back with a more entertaining blog tomorrow!
