My sleep has not been great lately as I get up in the middle of the night. It seems that my body decides at that time that a bowel movement is urgent and it wakes me up. I could go back to sleep but I take it as an opportunity to eat. This may also…
When Xavier first started his goalie training we had some group sessions that he would attend. Normally my preference is to 1:1 training as it caters to him and not to the lowest common denominator. These sessions were free as the association had paid for them and he would go and socialize with other kids…
I am going to start this post about my sister in law because that was requested. Whenever my mother in law asks me if she can make me anything I always request the same thing. Flan. For over 15 years I have requested that, maybe even closer to 20 years. She made it once and…
Today we decided to go to Mt. Dufour for a family ski trip, except that I can not ski right now. On the drive here we had a discussion about grades and we had to explain to Olivier that sometimes you need to play the game and answer things accordingly and not necessarily answer “truthfully”….

We had our game this morning against a team that normally play in a league above ours. We got crushed and the difference in play was astounding. I think if Xavier stood on his head it would have helped a bit. They got some early goals with tips and screens in front of the net….
Over the last 24 hours Mel and I have flip flopped on what we should do. As a researcher I want to help them out. I see the benefit of it. Mel thinks of our family and time spent together. This morning she thought we should do it while I was more hesitant. My perspective…
