We won our first game yesterday with Xavier in net and then lost the second game. We should have won the second game as we had more opportunities. In Xavier’s game today we lost. We were heavily outshot and spent most of the last 2 periods in the box. By no stretch of the imagination…
We drove down to Toronto last night and in the vehicle we play a card game called how well do you know your family. It is fairly easy for everyone as we all know each other fairly well. Olivier is interesting. The specificity of some of his answers makes it rather difficult to guess the…
Yesterday someone had mentioned that I do not speak about Olivier as much. At the end of the summer, to treat the kids for their behaviour we went to hardwood hills so Xavier could bike with Mel as I was in no shape to bike for hours. So it was Olivier and me and we…
Work life balance is something that is quite important to me as a leader. I always tell my team that you need a safe haven at either work or at home to help alleviate pressure and stress. When you are faced with pressure in both it is a real struggle. Since I can not control…

Mel loves to watch Hallmark style movies all year long. It has progressed from Christmas movies to things that have been released throughout the year. They tend to be feel good stories with no real “bad guys” with generic storylines. I always tease her about it but lately I have been just as bad. I…
I have yet to hear back about my PET scan on whether it will happen or not. My colleague has informed me that the radiologist believes that there is no reason for it to be declined. That is a bit reassuring, but I am not sure if I am getting more anxious about those results…
I had mentioned prior that something that I have always enjoyed was teaching. Lately, over the last couple of days I have felt that this has increased significantly. Whether it was at work or in my personal life. When I was younger I had to adapt and spent a lot of time growing into this…
