Hi Jon and Amber,

Just spent two days catching up on all your podcasts! It made for very enjoyable database cleanup, or maybe just made such an unpleasant task go that much faster. It’s nice to hear your voices again, and to hear the boys as well.

If I could live anywhere in the world, it’d have to be France. So much good cheese, and history, and greenery, but cheese is definitely first on that list. My family was joking around at one point about running a tourist trap vineyard in France if we won the lottery. Dad would tend to the vines and make the wine, Mom would run the tours, Nathan would make kitschy souvenirs for the tourists to buy, Sheila would run the shop, and I would be the eccentric writer in the attic, the key stop on the tour. I would have to be sure to peek out the attic window mysteriously at appropriate times, then duck back behind the curtains… This was before Mike, so we’ll have to find something for him to do. Maybe tinker with the tractor and other associated machinery required to run the vineyard. He could probably finally make his turbo-charged golf cart! I think Nathan’s family had plans to come along as well: I think Gil would take pictures of the tourists for them to purchase, and Rowena and Geoff were going to run the B&B part of the vineyard. Ahh… That would be fun.

Take care!
