Hey, Easy. My husband and I went to Canada and stayed with Musicman! We'd never met before so my husband Jack was apprehensive. But as it turns out, we both enjoyed our stay very much. I'd be happy to put you up. But you'd have to put up with us! :o)

No state income tax in Washington. However, if you work in Oregon, they will take Oregon state income tax out of your check. And what do you get for it? Nothing, nada, zip. It is so irksome. Live and work in Washington is a better deal. Yes, shop in Oregon where there is no sales tax.

Beaverton Oregon is the computer center around here. Maybe there's more in Vancouver than I know. Dance therapist? Is that like physical therapy using dance? Never heard of it. But then I never heard of music therapy until last year. (Musicman is a music therapist)

I'm sure that between the 17th and the 31st I can arrange a song circle! Talk to you soon,
