Top Ten Things I Miss About Home

10) Tim Horton's (especially their Vanilla Frappuccinos)
9) Hockey. I never realized how much hockey is a part of Canadian culture until I moved overseas. And I never thought I'd miss it. Oh, and curling, too.
8) The Canadian "eh". You know what I mean, eh?
7) Mounties. Not that I had much contact with them personally (he, he) but I do miss the Red Serge uniform.
6) Being able to drive and drive and drive, and still only make it across one province. (PS Listen to The BareNaked Ladies "Canada Is Really BIG" for a good laugh!)
5) Rodeos, potholes the size of my car, having to stop on the side of the highway to allow a tractor to pass, thunderstorms, northern lights and small town hospitality.
4) This Hour Has 22 Minutes, The Red Green Show, The National, The Passionate Eye, Sesame Park, Corner Gas and other "quality" Canadian TV programs.
3) Canadian vocabulary such as: toque, timbits, curling, shinny, back bacon, gophers.
2) Cheddar cheese. I may be living in the land of a thousand cheeses, but the one kind they don't have is the one that I crave. Good ol' strong cheddar...in a grilled cheese sandwich...with Heinz ketchup.
1) Family and friends. I know, getting emotional on the last one here....
