But I'm amazed to realize I've been reading regularly for a while (I think roughly since about the end of my maternity leave 2+ years ago) and never realized you grew up in the next town from me, at about the same time! (We lived about a block from the Tempe/Mesa line, and I think we're roughly the same age.) I don't get to go "home" anymore as my parents retired to the East Coast, though.

We road tripped down to Wellington via Taupo & Rotorua in a car named 'the silver bullet' & decided we were going to try to make a relationship work. That was 14 years ago. <br /><br />My favourite Muttonbirds song is Anchor Me. One of the cuzzies put it on the playlist at our wedding reception so I always feel very romantic when I hear it. Also our first dance was to the classic NZ reggae 'Something so true' by the Black Seeds. I went through a funny phase for about 3 weeks in NZ when I kept hearing it - in the supermarket & cafés Zenmoonoreply@blogger.com
