Hi, Darians. I'm writing from Seattle, where once in the three weeks we've been here we had a sunny, blue-sky day. On another couple of days there was a bleak sort of overhead indication that the earth was a component of a sun-based system. We took the ferry to Victoria, BC, spending four really lovely days at a hotel with a heated pool, Jacuzzi, and sauna, not to mention a famous if overpriced afternoon High Tea (it deserves the caps) at which I learned why scones are considered an edible, not to mention celestial, food. Canada is really nice, she generalized inanely. I didn't know it was possible for people to be nicer (just plain that) anywhere than in Seattle, but if there were a niceness contest, Canada might win. (Consider that I'm from NY.) The only other place i've been in Canada is Toronto, and i loved that city, too. As we ferried past the San Juan Islands (we spent a wonderful week or so on Orcas once) I looked at various paradisically situated houses and wondered if Christopher Hodgkins and family was lucky enough to live in one of them. Anyplace on those islands would be a lovely, and 19th century (in the best way) place to live, I suspect.
Oh look, I'm dropping by all casual and friendly, as though I have no agenda, but do I?
Yes, hehe.
Maybe Darians who haven't would go to this thread and bookmark it and even make a comment or two in an effort to help it onto the hot list which will bring it extra attention? Can't hurt.
