"I have loved the stars too fondly, to be fearful of the night." -Sarah Williams Maybe walking around Montreal for hours, as night turns to morning, makes you brain play tricks on you. But on my way back to the hotel I came across this unknown building right out of Gotham city. Two facts remain undoubted. 1) Old Montreal is exquisite 2) My inner nerd loves Batman I can almost hear Harvey Dent say, "The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming." As I stare at this structure before cutting over some tracks back to my hotel I smile to myself over the simple moments in life that make you life worth living. #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #batman #blessed #montreal #emergingleaders #exploring (at Montreal, Quebec)
"Is hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner, and the concentration of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us. Oh yeah, did I mention that this whole time we're standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick? Is ice hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me... Next question." -Brendan Shanahan I feel the 1972 Summit Series area was, aside from the Esso Great Hall, my favorite part of the Hockey Hall of Fame. I wasn't around for another decade, but I relived the series through family, rebroadcasts on television, and eventually a made for tv movie. I only wish you could hear Foster Hewitt scream the, "Henderson! Henderson has scored for Canada!" as soon as you step foot in the area. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Toronto #thankful #leader #legend #legacy #hustle #Canada #canadian #nhl #hockey #hockeyhalloffame #summit (at Hockey Hall of Fame)

And so Motionball is about to begin! (at Sub Rosa, Calgary)
The Vancouver Convention Centre, now closed for today, abandon from any other visible person; is still a striking structure to behold. As the twilight turns to night the three dimensional model of the earth reflects off its glass walls, and makes the waterfront walk even more enjoyable.
“The twilight turns from amethyst To deep and deeper blue, The lamp fills with a pale green glow The trees of the avenue.
The old piano plays an air, Sedate and slow and gay; She bends upon the yellow keys, Her head inclines this way.
Shy thought and grave wide eyes and hands That wander as they list - The twilight turns to darker blue With lights of amethyst.” -James Joyce (at Vancouver Convention Centre)

Some say he never blinks, and that he roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves. All we know is he's called the Stig. Errr, well "M" in this case. Always good to catch up with a friend from the west coast. Can't wait for my next visit...and the day you'll let me try one at Area 27.
When a Grant Thornton function, turns into a meeting at the Met, then many libations, fast friends, and booking a theatre for Batman vs Superman after the Flames/Blackhawks game. #espressoattwoam
"In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields." -John McCrae Lest we forget... We remember. #remember #thankful #quotes #armistaceday #remberanceday #veteransday #soldier #humble #cohen (at Prince's Island Park)
