Interesting comment.

Although I really enjoy being in a big city (well, Toronto is big for a Canadian city -- small compared to many American, European or Asian cities), I would love to be in a larger house. The four of us are using just about every square foot of a 900 square foot bungalow -- you can't just 'leave stuff lying around' because someone else will step on it.

A friend of mine has a gorgeous house on 100 acres near Peterborough, Ontario. It's lovely, but to do any shopping it's a fifteen minute drive to a small town. The big town (Peterborough) is a thirty minute drive. I don't know if I'd want to be that far away, but it would be fantastic to try it for a month.

Working at home is fun, but the home/work boundaries are tough to maintain when there's limited space. Food for thought.
