Best - new country, new challenges, new adventure.
Worst - what is it with those Heinz Baked Beans here? Weird.

Meeting the person who became my wife was the very best thing that has ever happened to me.
Along with a great career as an Air Traffic Controller for thirty years and now in retirement with an adequate income and no mortgage, all I can say is Canada has been very, very good to me.
