But we have been lucky that many Yankees games have been on TV here this year, and of course his Giants won the super bowl.

Just so you know, not all Connecticut Yankees are Yankee (or Red Sox) fans. I come from a long line of National League devotees, and see no reason not to root for the Dodgers despite O'Malley's wicked act of moving Da Bums to Brooklyn. BlackElk, however, is a CT to midwest transplant who is a Yankee fan.

(and he sometimes talks funny)

My Canadian wife and I had a flurry of dictionary wars, mainly in the early years of our marriage. I still cannot persuade her to pronounce aunt as "ŏnt" with a short o sound, instead of "ănt" with a short leg (like the industrious insect).

One other problem in the midwest ... it seems next to impossible to get Pop Tarts without frosting on them.
