Overview

Gray chronicles the adventures he shared with his girlfriend, Renee, in the Catskills. These took place in and around a cabin he purchased, there in Phoenicia, New York, including the apparent absence of any foundation, and a furnace located in the attic, which is not ideal, if one thinks to take normal heat-flow direction into account.
