Huh, I didn't know that was a song title. I know the phrase because my dad would say it sometimes.

Canadians don't have a problem with American people, just with the government. We're also big believers in access to health care.

Intriguing! Incidentally, I just reread all of the White Rat books and about an hour after I finished Paladin's Faith I realized that I'd run out and got sad. Dare I hope for new one(s) this year?

This was a puzzling read for a moment as someone who lives in British Columbia.

My dad was not a jazz fan (loved to quote "jazz is for wankers" from The Commitments). In high school, I joined the jazz band. I had a friend over and was saying, "Dad doesn't want me to get a sax." He appeared out of nowhere and said, "I think you should wait til you're married to have a sax!"

That's actually how the Americano got its name - US soldiers in Europe in WWII wanted something close to a drip coffee and thus the Americano was born.
