So, Joelle gave me a writing assignment a long time ago...

... and I'm finally doing it. Just a note: this is about the Northwest as a place. It should go without saying that what I miss most from home are my friends and family

I love paragraphs one and two (don't dislike the others, but one and two really grab me). Especially salt that you never noticed until it was gone...I am very connected to my place, and that's one of the things I noticed when I traveled. Water, water, always water...I breathed easier when I was nearer a river, or the sea.

lovely words.

Thank you Saj. Coming from you (as a writer who's work I enjoy and respect) that means a lot. ( :

Yeah, the one thing I find particularly bizarre about living here is that Norwich has no bay. Two rivers, thank goodness, but no bay.

We miss you, too!

I enjoyed reading that, and I agree with pretty much all of it. The Northwest is a wonderful place, and I'm pretty happy to be from here, too. :)

I'm glad to be getting so much agreement about what makes the Northwest special. ( :

I still owe you an e-mail, don't I? :: looks slight guilty ::

Hehe, I suppose you do owe me an email, but given the time it took me to send you one, I feel there's a great deal of flexibility for the timeline on that! :)
