Hey, you aren't compiling some kind of FBI file are you? Humorous footnote: My first job out of college was with the IRS, where they run background checks on all hires. It took them two years to clear me. The guy said that they just couldn't believe that I somehow disappeared during the lost years. No number, no forwarding address. My response was that I didn't know that they had laws against having too much fun.

We had a actual motivational speaker come to my high school once and he said he lived in a van by the river and lived off of goverment cheese and everything. He was being serious. After that any little bit of respect I had for school assemblies was lost. Everysingle person in the school busted out laughing when he said that.

No, big change was moving from Hong Couver to Alabama the first time. Fortunately, both parents were born in Europe (dad in Copenhagen, mom in Ellwangen Germany) so I have a pretty cosmopolitan view.
Ahhh I see. "Hong Couver" = too many people from Hong Kong in Vancouver? Hmm when I was in Whistler I did not find that to be the case.
Canada had a pretty liberal immigration policy before HK when back to China. There was a large influx, but most of the people were very well off.
