I have a half-sister and nephew (her son) in Canada, and I`ve sometimes wondered whether a family connection would be of assistance. Vancouver is a great city and one of the best places in North America to live.

Those are the only two people in North America with whome I share a last name. It makes Googling myself ridiculously easy.
