We have recently become aware that we have phantom readers from far-flung places. We don't mind you reading, Anthony Perkins, but we'd like to hear from you and your crusty mother.
So tell us who you are and where you're reading from, and Jon will write a poem in your honour, or at least make fun of where you live in some affectionate, clever way.
Tempting, no?
Make-ah some-ah noises, e? Iht's a-verry naiss eeff yew dew!
(And this includes all of you who are the yous whose locale we already know: other enquiring minds want to know. Plus, we just might make it to blogspot favourites.)

Alright, from Vancouver Island, Canada if you must know. Don't want to get much more specific than that on the world wide window. Now, here's the challenge, Jon. I would like a poem that has no references to hippies or communes or bell bottoms or dreadlocks or marijuana and its various monikers. That would be too easy for such a mind as yours.
Should clarify: only the winner, who shall be selected on the basis of subjective and relativistic criteria, will be awarded a poem.
But as for the rest of you, other readers might like general coordinates. But Adam's right: keep something back: full names, for instance, or specific city or town. We really don't want to be responsible for identity theft. We have enough guilt already.
British Columbier. That is all you get. Darci and Ryan. Now that is all you get.
Hello Dr. Penny,
It's that one student whose name is Fadwa, I'm not sure you would remember. I'm the guilty one here for the (probably) staggering number of page views. I just found your family's adventures a fascinating read that I could not help myself. I haven't laughed like this in a very long time actually. Furthermore, I get to expand my range of vocabulary. But forgive me if my act has been a rude invasion of your privacy. I was simply fuelled by curiosity when I heard about the "Penny family blog".
I deeply apologise for the inconvenience.
no longer in the windy city... i guess the wind just gets tired by the time it blows 2hrs north!
Auntie DMG and family in Grande Prairie Alberta, the exact opposite temperature.
hey: vancouver island again here. do our chances improve by having two separate entries?
Ciao! I am reading your blog from Tokyo at the moment, read it in Bangalore India last month, as well as San Francisco, NY, and next time I'm in Dubai, (probably April) I'll just come on by and try to be part of it. Tho, I prefer to read the blog in my library and office on the third floor of a house you once visited about a year ago. :-)
saskatoon, saskatchewan.
do we get the prize for name of residence most likely to be made up?
cuz we'd totally win.
Not one to make a lot of noise - but I do find it a lot of fun to check in on your adventure as often as I can. Love seeing your family and also enjoy the educational view of the world - seeing that I've never lived outside of good old southern Alberta. I too am quite fond of the vocabulary challenges presented!
Okay, so I hope Anthony Perkins and his crusty mother aren't real people. RUDE! :) Baltimore, MD, the Edwards...March 20th is the big day that we find out where we go. Stay tuned, I might even post on the old blog.
