I'd love to move back to Canada again. I'm so tired of being an alien, the one who doesn't belong. But my work is portable and kent4str's isn't, and while I might be a freak here, he'd be a bigger one there. Adding cuyahogarvr to the mix has also dramatically changed the equation so, for better or worse, our collective center of gravity is on the south side of the border.

The really freaky part is that I may not even be welcomed back if I did return, at least not by the folks I left behind 11 years ago. A few think I took the easy way out by moving south, some think I've become too 'americanized' to fit back together as we once did, others resent that I was willing to leave Canada in the first place. Even my family is a little irked, although they're much better now than when I first moved south. It would be easier I suppose to start fresh somewhere else in Canada than where I left off, and it would probably be easier on kent4str or cuyahogarvr since we'd all be on equal footing, presuming we could get across the border at all.
