I love canoe tripping, too. My husband and I hope to move to a part of Canada where we can do more of this. Tell me about some of your best trips, if you like. I'm curious.

My weird hobbies involve listening to weird music and frequently playing it. I like JSBach best of all classical, despite I'm an atheist. I like complicated funk, and lots more I wouldn't want to list because it would distinguish me too much. I like world music, and I know more about crappy pop music that I don't even like than any female should. Lately I've been teaching my dear husband about music, and transcribing bits of stuff for him to play on his ocarina, his first musical instrument, in fact.
