Oooh, I bet it went well! I'll keep my eyes peeled for it :)
You're right, space would be a really nice thing. I've moved out of Vancouver to a smaller town, but still feel a longing for nature again. My health hasn't been great for a few years (still trying to pin down all the diagnoses), and my wife's not well at all either (crippled, cancer, neurological side effects from the radiation), and we just had a surprise baby. So I'm not certain when I'll be be able to make it happen.
