    My shop is in a small town in Central Oregon. I used to have a UPS driver who came in nearly every day. Nice guy.

    One day I got a package from a former student of mine who lived in New Brunswick. The UPS driver noticed the address and asked me where New Brunswick was. Before I could get the words out of my mouth to tell him, he looks at me with this surprised and now wary expression and says:

    Last summer, a woman stopped me on my way back from some local Highland Games. She complimented me on the kilt, then asked if I spoke English.

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    I always got confused about Vancouver. For some reason, I keep thinking it's a city like Kansas City, MO/KS, but no. It's a five hour drive between them.

    Regards,
    Rex.
