Edmund and Charmion checking in Tuesday at 1300 hr more or less. The rest of the Canadian regiment is now back on home station, much to the loud delight of the resident cats.

Great weekend, truly a getaway. Learned plenty of new stuff, bought more CDs than we really should have with our lightweight money; fortunately, didn't have to explain our spending habits to the Canada Customs guy who was already mad enough at Charmion for driving through the booth without stopping. You really don't ever want to hear the siren they set off when you do that. (The light was green and no one was home, so what was one to think? If it wasn't Free Day For Folkies, it should have been!)

It's such a pleasure to have faces and voices to go with all those Mudcat handles, and a more expanded musical universe. It was so hard to leave.

More later, when we have had lunch and more time to digest the experience.
