I spent my first seven childhoods in Chicago and have told my sons 
it's
the land of the damnyankee snow.  I turned down a great offer to teach
in Alberta, Canada and another in Montana.  I'd be very happy to go to
Phoenix during Spring Training.

Never again will I live north of the Mason-Dixon Line or South of the 
Frost 
Line.
