It’s been a while since I’ve completed one of these.  178 was my last.  I’m trying to get back into the groove of T13 and FF’s since I did really enjoy doing them and visiting others to see what they had to say.  I just need a few more hours in my day.

Appetizer : If you could live on another continent for 1 year, which one would you choose?

I’d return to Asia.  I frequently miss India and would love to return.  Next time will have to be on a visitor’s visa.  My business visa runs out in Jan ’09 but I can’t see the college sending me to India to work anytime soon…

Soup: Which browser do you use to surf the Internet?

Depends on the day and the computer.  At work I tend to use Safari 3.x while at home I use Firefox 3.x

Salad: On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how much do you know about the history of your country?

5 if I’m lucky.  If you don’t specifically study Canadian history in university, you don’t tend to get a well rounded view of the country or it’s history.  Unless something has changed since I was in school, history was taught on a regional basis.  I learned all about the history of the east coast and quebec (and Europe) but very little about the west or north in school.  My husband’s history courses were limited to events that occurred in southern Ontario.  I’ve learned more about the history of Canada since I’ve been forced to complete Canadian history courses at university.  I might bitch and moan about the courses while I’m taking them, but they did encourage me to try and learn more about my country.

Main Course: Finish this sentence:  Love is…

acceptance.

Dessert: Have you ever been in or near a tornado?

A tornado is how we ended up with a Costco membership.  We used to drive through tornado alley in Ontario on a daily basis when we lived at CFB Borden.  I made the trip down to Newmarket every day by Go bus and Drew frequently picked me up and took me home.  One day we were driving down the highway and a small tornado cut across the highway a few miles ahead of us.  More were touching down in farmer’s fields.  The only building around for miles was a nice big concrete Costco.  We drove into the parking lot, ran into the building, and became members that day.  When the tornados had moved on we got back on the highway and finished the drive home.
