Abstract

Over the course of this book project we met for long weekends on the Oregon coast, at Maureen ’ s cabin at the base of Mt. Hood, in Victoria, British Columbia, as well as during snatches of time captured rendezvousing while in route to and from various vacations and travels. We ’ ve used these times to review the narratives, flesh-out ideas to move the work forward, and as we have always done, update each other and share the details and times of our lives.
