Oct 2022

We did a wedding in Berkshires after a trip from Tennessee to The Soo to Toronto. Friends and family beckon.
Sold the manse in Fla before Ian and bought condo to keep close to family and docs here.
Considering half the time near Saco area. Been traveling in 1970 Airstream that is a bit too small. Probably sell soon and buy a similar one a bit longer and have it redone in upstate NY.
We are into our 70's and not as spry. Been told I have to write a book. We'll see.
I am a New Englander who has brought New England, good and bad, to wherever I go.
Miss the humor that is home.
But, you can't go home, again.
My accent, while it has shades of originality, is now from away.
