Well, to be more accurate, a "canuck" is a term for a Canadian. :)

 Americans!!  grrr... next thing you will be asking "How is your igloo these
 days?"

You can't imagine how often I get this.  Or, how often the people around
me start to chuckle when I say "about", or "house", or the occasional
"eh".  If anyone taped the "Talking To Americans" Rick Mercer special,
please let me know!  I'm dying to watch it.  I heard part of it over the
telephone while talking to my father, but I want my wife to see it.
I keep telling people that Canadians say "eh" at the end of statements,
as a way of inviting comments and furthering the conversation, whereas
Americans, who say "huh" are asserting their viewpoint, and expect no
further discussion on the subject.
(How's that for a run-on sentence, eh?)

You and me both.  Everywhere from London through to Sault Ste. Marie has
been home.  Now, I'm living (again) with my American wife in New York.
Computing-wise, living in either country hasn't been a problem.  When we
moved back to Toronto, I just shipped things across the border.  Now we
have one less step in acquiring stuff, even though, I'm about to do a
massive paring down of the collective.  I need the space back, and I've
gotten the "I never had any toys when I was young, and now I can have
everything!" phase out of my system.  Time to focus on the few machines
that I really want.
