I travelled bc a lot with the bands for years. when I quit the band and came to vancouver, I got a sales job that put me on the road again 5 weeks later for another 3.5 yrs and I lived from vancouver to brandon, up to whitehorse. I remember the first time my boss said, we need you in houston and I asked, we have offices in texas? oh houston bc...

funniest memory was going into ft st james to set up a photography room and telephones. small towns we just rented a couple rooms in a hotel, and shot a few days there. first hotel I come to has this big sign behind the front desk (remember I am a city boy here)

sign read "Please check in all knives and guns at front desk before entering the bar".... I went to the phone and called my boss and asked wtf was she doing sending me to a place like this. I as thinking dueling banjos should have been playing. scared? oh ya.

Where's everyone from? I'm assuming 90% are somewhere in Ontario, 7% are in BC, 2% are outside Canada, and 1% is in Labrador!.. So, just me.

Born in Labrador City. Grew up in Toronto and Ottawa. Been in Kingston for the last 15 years and here to stay I think :)

Can I join? Vancouver born, close family ties to Victoria, but did most of my growing up in Edmonton. Now resident in London, but with a son in Vancouver and a sister in Saskatchewan, I'm hoping to return for good in the next few years.

Started with the supermini last September before I found this forum, graduated to the 901, then the penstyle which I use full time now together with the usb through battery and an apc power pack when I'm on the move.

Originally I only wanted these things for long haul flights, hotel rooms and so on, but inadvertently found myself using them most of the day. So, without even trying, I've cut down from 25 cigarettes to around 5 a day, mainly first thing in the morning when the e-cig doesn't quite cut it. I never intended to quit cigarettes entirely and maybe I never will, but for the time being I'm more than happy with the results.

I would say that your heart seems to be in Canada that seems good enough to me . Plus Canada is an independant colony of the UK and the Queen is still our Queen and we have a governer general . So as part of the Common Welth we are all brothers and sisters .
