A Snowbird's Sketches of the Sunshine State
Dave Easby
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.
