“I understand you’ve had a rip-roaring time in Canuck Land, but I also understand that this time is coming to an unwanted end, so I hope you won’t have too difficult a time saying all the goodbyes that you really don’t want to distribute (who are we kidding, it’s going to be hell). I hope your hugs at the airport are warm and material and inconsiderate of the minutes you have until boarding. I hope you will make good on the promises made to your people up there, especially the promise that someday you will return to this country—to this particular slab of earth, this family promoted from this rank of friends, this crack on the sidewalk you trip over all the time—that you’ve come to call home.”
