For a long time I felt without style or grace Wearing shoes with no socks in cold weather I knew my heart was in the right place I knew I'd be able to do these things

Story Bone
He emmigrated to Canada to teach English as a Second Language.
I think I had that person in the back of my mind when it came to me.
Yeah, when I first wrote it I was thinking of Americans going to foreign countries and taking jobs teaching ESL classes. And then I was thinking about all the immigrant issues we're starting to hear about with our neighbors to the north. So I thought, well, I could get a job teach ESL if we moved to Canada. And then the whole absurdity of what I had written down hit me and I started to laugh.
I like that line, I don't know where I will fit it in, but I know I will some day.

It certainly was an interesting thing to think about. Social, geopolitical, financial.
