We drove down to Nottawasaga today for a hockey tournament. Our first game is not until Friday night at 9:50, so we can do things during the day, or work. The drive down was uneventful but the contrast between our two kids is quite evident. One takes after Mel and the other after myself. Olivier…
I forgot to write today and I just got back from hockey with Xavier. I went this night because I wanted to distribute the swag bags to all of the kids on the team. Most of the team showed up today and I wanted them to have their pant shells and shirts for the tournament….
Growing up you never realize what you may be missing if you never experience it. People would always ask me if I miss not being able to drink or how do I deal with that. Me being a jackass would then ask them do they miss crack cocaine or heroine. They would then understand, if…
