Hmmm…

I’ve had a ‘permanent address’ in Hamilton for my whole life, I suppose. For four years, I went to University in North York, about 80 kilometers away, but I was generally taking the bus back to visit my folks for the weekend (and sometimes do laundry 😉 ) every two weeks.

When I moved out on my own, I got an apartment in Hamilton, even though my work was in Burlington, just across the bay. Rent’s cheaper over here!

Same city, same house. I stayed with a grandma for a couple years, and I stayed in an apartment for a few months after I got married, but I have always claimed this house as home and my permanent mailing address.
