Ferdinand, I'm so glad to hear you say this.  I practically had to force 
myself to finish it.  My first husband was Scots Irish and I love and have 
been to both places, so I couldn't understand why I found it slow reading.

On the other hand, I'm now reading Kabloona in a Yellow Kayak by Victoria 
Jason and I'm finding it fascinating.  I was wondering if perhaps I'm 
relating more to the woman's perspective.  

Most exciting of all was her mention of meeting Phil Torrens - and that he 
and his paddling companion suffered a grizzly attack!!!  I was like, 
"OHMYGOD, Phil Torrens.  I know him."  which just goes to show how attached 
we get to other P'wisers.
