Produktbeschreibung

As the Spring Training home of the Toronto Blue Jays, Dunedin, Florida serves as the seasonal residence for many Canadians. So when Anne and Dave Easby decided to sell their condo in Mexico and escape the Canadian winter in Dunedin instead, they figured it would feel just like home. Minus, of course, the boots and mitts. But they soon encountered many things unique to this part of the world from BOGO sales to raffles for a free colonoscopy to snow machines on Main Street. This collection of funny, and sometimes moving, short stories and essays looks at the 'Sunshine State' through the lens of a Canadian snowbird. With a few stories from the rest of the Sun Belt thrown in for good measure.

It's so easy to relate to the insights and reactions of a fellow traveler such as Dave Easby. His anecdotal style of telling a story brings you inyou get it, you feel it. This collection is a companion for all like souls a pleasure and fun.

Life as a Canadian in Florida has never been described with greater insight and wit. Dave Easby is a true heir to humourist Stephen Leacock."

Autorenporträt

'They Tore Down the Russell Hotel - A Story of Change in Small Town Mexico' and 'Mystery Monkeys and Unstable Discs - A Snowbird's Guide to the Sunshine State' are the first two books written by Dave Easby. They chronicle the exploits of he and his wife as snowbirds first in n the small town of La Peñita de Jaltemba, Mexico and, later, in Dunedin, Florida.. Dave still spends his summers in Ontario, Canada but now winters in Dunedin, Florida with his wife Anne and his Mexican rescue dog Amarillo. He retired in 2005 after a thirty-year career with the Canadian and New Brunswick Governments. Since much of that time was spent working on speeches and briefing notes for Ministers and other Senior Officials, he decided to try writing non-fiction for a change in his retirement years.
