Say goodbye...

My neighbour across the street is moving. We haven't spent a lot of time together, but Param has been a good neighbour. Even more, he's been a real pillar in the Keralite community (the area of India along the south west coast). Some of the guys at work are Keralites and have talked about the way Param has opened up his house.

Param has a job opportunity in Texas, and said he wants to give it a try. If it doesn't work, he'll move his family back to Canada. Is it a form of courage, or merely a personality trait that makes a person willing to pack up and move to a different country. Karen and I have discussed moving the U.S. At times, but even when the opportunity is there we've been reticent about moving.
