Thanks for your encouragement, Deryk. Much appreciated.

In fact, Callie, in an effort to maintain US/Canada relations, is teaching me Canuck-speak and I have learned a few common phrases already.

To wit: "Keep your stick on the ice, eh!"

"We'll 'ave another round of Blue, eh!"

"Wayne Gretzky for king, eh?"

"That'll be three blue and two pink Loonies, eh?"

Note that "eh" is used to end every sentence, eh?

My parents were both ( yes, two were required back then ) so I claim my rights of poetic license to poke a little fun at our wonderful neighbors to the North.

Just yesterday, our news reported that riot squads from British Columbia were quickly on the scene in Olympia, Washington to help calm that crazy scene. Who could ask for better, more loving neighbors?

I have told of a family in Port Coquitlam, that turned their entire beautiful home over to my family of six without charge so we could attend an International Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses in Vancouver. They were not JWs.
