Hi Joy,
I missed your posts as well, glad things are well with you. I got
wondering what you were up to and couldn't find your blog; so I googled
you and discovered your book.
I am quite interested in your work; I studied environment and geography
at University of Waterloo for a year before getting drawn into computer
graphics....
Any chance we can keep you in Central Canada long enough to attend
Buses Of The Corn near Toronto in August? Or maybe we can get you over
to Frank's event in Almonte in June??
Anyway, glad to hear everything is going well for you.
Happy trails,
Greg Potts
