  Lucien Soulban

  I hate bios - it's the only time I have writer's block - but, in a nutshell, I was:
  1) Born in Saudi Arabia
  2) Lived there for 12 years
  3) Went to school in Hell… er… Houston, Texas for 8 years.
  4) Moved to Montreal, Quebec and in doing so, found the glove that fit my hand.
  5) I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
  
  So instead of those dry boring tidbits, I present the Frequently Asked Questions concerning Lucien Soulban. You know you've been waiting for it! The following questions come from the patient folks who frequent my Live Journal as well as some of the questions I've heard in my lifetime.
