Today is your day Boomer! I really tried to watch soccer last night....joining those fanatical Boomers who enjoy foot-on-ball action: Canada vs Argentina in the COPA semi-final. I mean we had Davies (really good!) vs they had Messi, the best player ever. But...I really didn't find it that entertaining. Canada had only 2 shots on goal, the Argentinians had more attempts, but I really didn't like the "fake" injuries trumped-up by most players as they suffered light taps on their sins, errrr shins. Shameful. I like basketball or hockey....faster action, lots of scoring and less time wasting. So, I found this meme (see picture) for a possible solution. Please read it and Boomer soccer supporters, please don't be offended, and don't tell me to puck off! I tried to watch a little bit of footie, but sorry, hockey still rules. Cheers...
Today is your day Boomer! My Dad left this world this week. I was there in-person to say goodbye and, of course, it was very, very difficult. But rather than focusing on the negatives of his downfall, I want to share with you my Dad's many contributions to my life. First off, Harold (Hal) shared his name with me and helped raise me as one of six kids in our family. Imagine the financial impact a family of eight had on his work life and mental state! Speaking of that, he taught me the importance of a strong work ethic and a good education. All his kids have university degrees or trades tickets. He showed me the supreme importance of family gatherings, how to flyfish...even when he was colour blind....how to use tools, play high-level bridge, eat organic foods, he taught me how to drive....even though I ruined the transmission on our old car....he showed me how to sail, save and invest money, have an appreciation for nature, he was a role model for me as I moved through heart/s
