Ed T, ever since I learned that Fundy has 40' high tides, it's been on my short list of things I have to see some day.

Just back from J-boy's dad's for Christmas. It was loud and raucous and absolutely wonderful. For the two youngest nieces, I'd made coupons for a one-day adventure with Jason and me. Watching the nine-year-old read hers and seeing her face light up with joy may have been the best present of all. Having Jason's 20-year old brother get excited about going to see Garnet Rogers with us in a couple of weeks was pretty cool, too.
