I grew up on the mainland of Galveston Island, in Texas. I love the ocean, but my home town it too hot. My mother says they have the Gulf breeze, but that's just a bunch of hot air. I also lived in East Anglia for a bit, in a tiny place named Exning. The people were lovely, and I enjoyed my time there, but I want a larger city. I love Cananda too. Last summer the cool in Calgary was to die for, and it's not so far from the coast to drive there or so far north that I'd become a popsickle. I like the political climate there too. It's the maple leaf for me. I'm in Kentucky right now, and it has a mild climate and good medical facilities, so the bluegrass might be my winter home. Peace, Charlyn
