A vivid definition that I'll never forget! You have a very active blog--full of interesting tid bits. Cool to see your interview with a fellow Canadian Writer (Sheila Stewart) from Saskatchewan. Our long, cold, dark Canadian winters create a great environment for those of us inclined to retreat into our imaginations and peck at our keyboards.
I'm in touch with a number of Canadians, especially through that excellent site, LinkedIn. http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=78124450&trk=tab_pro
where a number of very interesting discussions take place, as I'm sure you know.
