"Oh, well," Fraser demurs. "They're not all bad. In fact, I've found most Americans to be kind and welcoming people."

(Whether they have been or not.) “There is some excellent food,” he agrees. “I’ve never had the opportunity to try so many cuisines before. And my friend – well, my partner, really – Ray, his mother is an excellent Italian-American cook. That isn’t something we have much of up in the tundra, I can tell you.”

Not much in the way of ingredients for spaghetti and meatballs or veal parmigiana this far north, generally speaking. “As for music, I have occasionally managed to make it to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and even some opera, now and then. Although usually on my own.”

Even Diefenbaker prefers not to accompany him, no matter how many times Fraser tells him he really should give opera another chance. As hard as they’d tried, no one should judge the entire form by the Yukon Light Opera, especially after the blizzard they’d come through.
