| Introduction | So we met in 1977, lived variously in Horseshoe Bay, Saltspring Island, North Delta, North Vancouver. Had a dog and a cat for awhile, bought and sold 3 houses, reproduced ourselves with a son and a daughter, did community volunteer stuff, had jobs, owned a business, sold the business, and now we're retired, or as my friend Marilyn suggests "reframed". Sounds better somehow! It started as a "I want to change things" to "is it possible to change things" to "how do we change things" to "what if this could work" to "that's a bit scary" to "let's do it!" So we sold the house, we're packing up 37 years worth of the stuff we aren't ready to part with yet, storing it and heading out on the road for a year. What will it be like - just the two of us without our usual safety net of friends, family and familiar places? How will Glen cope without his golf clubs? Can Anne manage without her favourite gym for the body and gym for the mind? What's it like to be a nomad? What if we can't find a place to stay? What if there's no free wi-fi? And a thousand other what if's . . . Stay tuned. We leave May 29 - first stop England. |
| Interests | Making things, coffee with friends, wine with friends, lunch with friends, dinner with friends, visiting with friends, exploring, personal development, good food, pretty scenery, trying new things, playing scrabble online, playing other silly games online, family get-togethers, skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, waterskiing, really anything! Glen likes to golf. Anne doesn't. |
| Favorite movies | Meh - fun to watch, and then completely forget. Sometimes - no, often - I rent a movie and then realize I've already seen it. Glen usually remembers. We admit to a 'Survivor' television addiction. |
| Favorite music | Glen - blues. Anne - anything I can sing along to in a really loud voice in the car and pretend I'm a rock star. |
| Favorite books | So many. Where to start? Very favourite: A Prayer for Owen Meany; A Complicated Kindness; Fall on Your Knees; Glen - spy thrillers |
You forgot your mom's birthday! What can you make out of super glue and olive pits?
