Want to take a short detour? LOL. Seriously, this sounds like it will be great fun, and I hope you enjoy the travelling.

I almost fell off the couch! I live in Edmonton! Reading the other replies, I can't believe how many others live in Edmonton, too. What a small world. Anyway, I will definitely come and see you, and probably bring a small army of fellow homeschoolers along with me. Hurray! By the way, of course you'd want to come in January. At any other time of the year, it's quite ordinary here. To experience the most spectacularly cold weather, you have to come in January, usually the end of January, in my experience. EDMONTON???

I've never been, and my Dad has been there 5 years. He comes out to visit us 1-2 times a year, but I'm worried I won't get to see him much anymore, as air travel starts to decline. So "getting to Bellingham" is quite high on my agenda! Tasterspoon, I would have loved to go to Islamabad, but it wasn't even an option, unfortunately, because of the timing. I've been a lot of places, but Pakistan is not one of them, and it is a place I long to visit - lots of friends from there. You folks are really wonderful and helpful - as my plans start sorting out, I'm hoping to do a lot of this. Sharon Trust me, if I can make it to Bellingham, I will.

There are a lot of aware people here and many just waking up to what the near future holds. I work for the university library and know quite a few people that would definitely come see you, buy books, and hopefully integrate some of your work into their classes.

Elliott Bay Book Co. comes immediately to mind, and if you were to come to Eagle Harbor Books on Bainbridge Island, I know you would get an enthusiastic audience from my former cohousing community there, Winslow Cohousing, and other folks (besides my immediate neighbors) who work at YES! magazine (they are 2 blocks from Winslow Cohousing). Wish I could be there - if you should decide to come in December or earlier, I definitely would!

I was really looking forward to meeting you in person -- but I will be there for the call-in. Maybe next year?

I will talk to my local bookstore tomorrow about inviting you. It is called the Toadstool Bookshop. I would love to meet you. Maybe you could swing by Keene, NH on your way to or from Boston.
