18 years together. Met in grad school in 1989 at UW Madison. Lived on a farm in northern Wisconsin near the Twin Cities for 12 years. Moved to Salt Spring Island, BC Canada in 2004. Dave's Canadian and Tim's American - we're bi-cultural. Tim is a huge sports fan (all of them) and Dave is big travel buff. We enjoy farming, horticulture, animals, dark beer, real food, deep conversation and dry humour.
