Perspective is an interesting thing. Your vantage point and your own bias influence how you see thIngs. I have had chats with various people about hockey and playing time. There are quite varied views on whether kids should have even playing time or not. I know parents on both sides of the fence and interestingly…
Xavier ended up getting a shutout last night and we found out after the game that our afternoon game was moved to first thing in the morning. What this meant was that Olivier would be home alone for quite some time. I texted my favorite brother and asked him if he could pick up Olivier…
It has been 4 months since info8nd out that my cancer was back. I have had surgery and have completed my radiation treatment now. I get a lot of questions about what is next and what the prognosis is. All that we can do now is wait. The surgeon is not very hopeful and says…

I do not really mind people driving cautiously but I think it is a bit ridiculous that people do not even try and stop at the lights and drive…
