Mi Lady,
Yes, tis I, the same Greg you know. Where have you been anyway dear? I don't see you here nearly as much as I used to. I hope it's because you are feeling much better and are living life to it's fullest. So, if you had a crush on the neighbor, you should have at least have played it out a bit to see what this guy had to offer...maybe he became a millionaire or something? I do think often about what happened to some of my high school friends. The last one that I kept in touch with died in a motorcycle accident about 12 years ago. The only other one is my ex-wife...we won't go there.
The last time I checked the US dollar exchanged to $1.52 Canadian. I'm trying to do the math here, but my brain feels like mush today. Well, it feels like mush most days recently. The free health care there is great, but being able to see a doctor when you need to is worth the out of pocket expense to me. Speaking of Cam, one of the last times I spoke to him (and it's been a while), he mentioned having to have back surgery and was on a waiting list that was a year long. That really scared me. I just rather have to pay the money for health care and get the services done when I need them than to have to be put on a waiting list. But that's just me... But living close to you would definitely make the whole thing worthwhile :)...even with the snow.
So, I'm curious, do you still have the job with Mapquest where you stand on the map and wave your little arms wildly so that I'll know where you live? :)
Well, I'm sending you tons of hugs, lots of love, and I hope you're doing really well!
Talk to you soon,
Greg> Greg, (if same greg I know)

> Did I ever tell you that I use to walk to school with a Greg? Had a mad crush on his neighbour. A few years later, he (the neighbour) made an off the cuff marriage proposal. Perhaps I should have made him a man of his word. Do wonder at times what happens to all those childhood friends.

> Anyway, thought you would like to know our cdn loonie is climbing, last I checked we could buy about 70 of your pennies or 7 dimes with it. So don't discount anything up here, you have to take into consideration no health insurance payments. I know snow is an issue for you, my mother has reported that in the Okanagan valley during winter months the rent is cheap, and they for some absurb reason have mild weather. And then there's the added bonus of being in the same country with Cam and myself, plus some great hockey and British Columbia is suppose to have a real healthy trade business happening with "wackie tabackie."
