A few days ago Sue told you about being stuck over night in Bakersfield because the roads going south were closed because of the snow. Yes, in California, you can close the carotid artery of the state with snow, unlike, say, Wisconsin. Anyway, we had a ball. We never would have planned most of the stuff we [...] Leaving Sacramento after our daughter's wedding, Sue pointed out that this was the real beginning of our nomadic life. Up 'til now, everything has either been a dress rehearsal (our month in Vancouver) or a trip (to Montreal) or a temporary holding pattern until we had to go back. We always had to go back. This time, there's [...] Writing music always pulls emotions up closer to the surface. Weather changes make me happy. Or sad. Depends on what changes and how. Listening to my older daughter's music is always emotional. But really, I think what I'm feeling today is the 3-week itch.

It is a celebration, I believe, [...] I seriously underestimated the disorienting effect of being surrounded by a language I don't speak, don't understand. Because the friends we're staying with speak perfect English (despite conducting much of their life in French) I assumed this part of Quebec would by like my experience in Ireland: everyone could speak Irish, but everyone also spoke English, often [...] Highway 7, the Trans Canada Highway, rivals the Ring of Kerry for unique natural beauty.
