Hi Rashida,

I lived in Burlington, Kansas for a few years, on a long-term assignment for the engineering firm I worked for. I live near Madison, Wisconsin now. I'm not Canadian, although based on their higher standard of living and civilized ideas about how to treat their citizens (universal healthcare, etc.), I kinda wish I was. I grew up in the Chicago area and played hockey when I was a kid. I idolized the Black Hawks, Red Wings, Canadiens and Leafs. Are you from north of the border?
