    Duder, sorry to hear about your dad passing.  Can't be easy to deal with that.  Glad you've got some nice places to get lost near you.  Did you end up in MTL or are you living nearby?

    As the time passes I'm finding it's that sense of "...oh, I should give dad a call - wait, nope" that's depressing. Unlearning good habits - that's the stinker. He unintentionally cut the ties at his end and now I have to intentionally do the same at my end.


    We She chose a lab in Quebec city*, but we've been to Montreal a few times and loved it. Quebec is really nice (and after Barcelona soooo clean and peaceful), but there's a lot more life in Montreal. She's speculated that if a position turned up in MTL she'd be happy to live there for a year or two although for the foreseeable she's tied to a recent government scholarship connected to her current lab/research project. Lockdown was eased this summer and we went to Gaspesie (super beautiful) for a week, and have been exploring a lot of the national parks and doing some great hiking trails. Canada has impressed upon Dudette that actual changing seasons make for a stronger sense of nature being in your life, and she's really enjoying it. Spain is more loooong hot, and then some rain for a very short winter, boom, another year gone.


    *She had another offer in Philly, but Trump's covid response has been a reason to be happy for the relative safety of the great white north, and more than once we've both looked at scenes in the US and been Damn, glad we came to Quebec.

    I really dislike ABBA - Dancing Queen. If all ABBA records were tossed into a fire I'd be ok with that.

    Take your mouth off and go watch Eurovision! Ferrel will instil the requisite appreciation for the Swedish supergroup and the staggering phenomena that is the Eurovision Song Contest. You will be converted and start wearing turtle-neck jumpers, loafers without socks and sculpting your hair with olive oil. Your new found infatuation with ABBA will be such that you’ll give away your record collection and post the jungle to an address in Quebec.



    I read a good article about ABBA and schlager:
