A Big Change Ahead?

Wally (AKA Walt), my friend and co-worker at the University of Denver Bookstore, would like to retire to Halifax, in a house near "the docks," where he can watch the ships come and go and spend the long winters reading in a cozy den.  Personally, I think that would be a great idea, and have even offered to help him move.  However, his wife Linda does not seem to be enthralled with the idea. She actually thinks Halifax might be a bit cold in the winter (nonsense!) and that it would be too far from friends and loved ones (it is only a short hop from Boston, where her daughter and many relatives live).  Come on, Linda, get on board!  Just don't forget to plug your car into an electrical outlet each night (don't worry - just a local tradition).
