I grew up a five minute walk from Lake Erie in a small town several hours SW of Toronto near the Grand River.

Like people who live on the coasts it gets into your blood.

The summers really are something else. I don’t miss my home county so much, but I have a vivid image of the rolling countryside and summer drives listening to music. It’s a memory I tap into often.

These days I live in Dundas and if you haven’t made it down here yet I recommend it!

Oh, hi neighbour. I'm up north of Waterdown on 6 acres. Dundas is where we do most of our "town time." The archaeology dig I was talking about was @ Cootes on the RBG lands.

Go figure. Guess I'm preaching to the choir!

How long have you lived in this part? I caught in another comment that you're into poetry. Do you frequent The Printed Word here in town? We only moved into Dundas a little over a year ago, and I finally made it into that shop and could easily lose a lot of money there. A recent haul of mine included a first edition of The Old Ways by Gary Snyder—and there are many more gems!

It will be 10 years this July. Printed Word is a place I need to frequent more often, though I have been there a couple... expensive... times. Unfortunately these days I tend to fall asleep when reading, I can't dig into anything intense. :-)
