Hey Zazzy, sorry we haven't caught up in a while. That's on me, I've just been busy with other stuff.

Yes, the right town. You'd love STA, and I'd love to see you here. As a matter of fact, a fair number of Canadians winter here. I met a guy two weeks ago - here for three months - from Nova Scotia, outside Halifax he said. I told him I knew you, but not certain of your locale, just Nova Scotia.

STA - a great place for a little cafe, it is magical here, oldest continually occupied city in North America, since 1565. Rich in history as a result. Supposedly one of the most haunted cities in the US, due to it's violent past.

Occupied by the Spanish, French, and English at different times, with violent periods in between. Not sure you could convince Dreamy to relocate to be a partner in the cafe here, but Stranger Bedfellows have happened. 8-)

A friend has a summer home in Le Bic, built in the late 1800's on land in her family since the mid-1600's, I believe. Beautiful, reminds me of the setting I imagined while reading Walden, by Thoreau. I could live in that kind of solitude.

How have you been? Last I went looking for you, Dreamy said something about carpentry and applying for a position at your shop?

You've read Walden? That's kind of cute. Any good? I've heard of the book and think Thoreau was an anarchist too if recalled.

But 'Le Bic'... do you mean the Island (St. Lawrence river) in Quebec or the town of the same name nearby on the shore?

Yes, I may be slowly getting into carpentry, more specifically perhaps, prefab tiny houses-- speaking of Walden. Frankly, I have mixed feelings, but do have a good associated skillset, so what the hell. You only live once. The whole tool thing-- both manual and electric-- is a bit bewildering, too, but it's slowly coming into focus.
