I sometimes miss Churchill, even the weather.
Last week I was "herding" some kids to their bus, just wearing an undershirt and dress shirt while all the other teachers were bundled up. I got a few strange looks. It seems 2 winters in northern Manitoba has toughened me.
Of course every time my wife declared, "It's cold outside." here in Mt. Pearl I replied "It's nice out." It really pissed her off and she finally snapped last week. So now when she makes a comment about the weather, I agree with her. I still think that pisses her off...........! :)
A friend informed me of Churchill's latest 3-day blizzard. I don't miss that, and the slight chance of meeting a polar bear as I stumbled home from a game of cards on a very late Friday night. But I do miss the people, the restaurants, but not the gut I had from the food and beer!
