Who else gets to use their computers while watching the whales running up and down the strait and listening to the sea otters slapping the water as they play in the waves and watching bald eagles circling with a close eye on our pets and chickens. Ah, that sounds so wonderful! As it is, I have to listen to a tape of waves to fall asleep at night! And you have a real live ocean there, with whale sounds as well, and otters, and gosh knows what else...<sigh of envy> Some day I will finally visit my brother in Seattle, and take a side trip to your islands there...if it won't make me feel too envious, that is...

CH, I am trying to figure out if where you are is the same locale as Annie Dillard's retreat in Puget Sound. Have you ever read her little (only in size!) books A Writer's Life and Holy the Firm? I thought they were glorious. Laughed at the family's computer envy. We too have four (sometimes more, depending on the condition of the ones CW is always building) and my my my brand new one has a modem connection of 50 whatevers. People keep saying things like - "You don't need all that power. My computer would work just fine for what you do. Let's trade." Haaaaaa- fat chance.
