Just noticed I've never posted to this thread, hmmm . . .

Sitting surrounded by technology in a decidedly low tech owner-built (and still unfinished, sigh) post-and-beam house (a kit) in the middle of the woods (33 acres) on the side of a hill at the end of a 200 foot driveway which goes uphill to meet the road on the hill, here in southern New Hampshire, USA about equidistant between the seacoast (Portsmouth) and mountains (Concord to the west, Conway to the north).

I came here (meaning coastal New England) about 35 years ago to come to a warm climate -- from Wisconsin's (and Upper Michigan) Lake Michigan shore (and Great Lakes weather).

Where would I like to be? Singing with friends and swigging stout in a pub in England/Wales/Scotland or climbing over ruins on Crete or maybe snorkling in some warm blue-green water.

But, quite honestly, I very happy here at home. (Or in a Portsmouth pub, swigging stout and singing with friends.)
