Okay.  So I have had this myspace page for almost a year now, and this is my first blog entry.  And what has promted me after all this time to suddenly post something?  Let me tell you.

I am currently on tour in Northern B.C. (Terrace to be exact) and am just about to get in my van and drive like a crazy woman North to the Yukon.  I have been on tour for a week and a half, and have so far seen one fox, five deer an four bears.  Yesterday, I passed by the site of the massive mudslide along the number 16 that killed two people, and drove through crazy thunderstorms between Prince George and Houston the day before.  I bought and am enjoying eating Bison jerky.  I found a goldmine of old 45's at a roadside fleamarket, and I met a dog named Taffy with a pink plaid hat outside of Hope.

And yet all of the above facts are not the reason why I post this blog.  During my travels thus far, I have been treated to warm hospitality from people whom I have only just met who have opened thier homes and shared their stories with me.  For this I am beyond grateful, and am once again reminded that there is a wealth of truly kind people in this world.  Thank you.
