After Spending A Day In Vancouver Preparing For A Conference On The Tax Changes Next Year Old Friends

Came into the office today to find out we'd hired a new helper. Well Mr. Vader, you are truly adorable. (at Customplan Financial Svc) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgSxm6PvOLG2eVXFBIOXQ6qnjBbFUsl853ex-k0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My dad... A child's story. The commercial from overseas that made millions cry.

"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)

As I peel my eyes open and realize it is the last day of the #calgarystampede this year, I can't help but smile. The concerts, the memories, the rodeo, 2:00am golden inn runs, the corporate events, all the breakfasts, guys night, etc. It was an amazing 10 days. But as I try to sit up and I feel the pain emanating from my bones and somewhere behind my eyes, I am forced to come to one undeniable conclusion. You win Stampede. You win. #calgary #calgarystampede2016 #yyc #stampede #memories #workhardplayhard (at Calgary, Alberta)

"In every walk with nature, one receives more than he seeks." -John Muir Rounding out pictures from my Victoria trip. Most of them are from Hatley Castle and it's surrounding gardens, but some are randoms from the day to day adventures. I can't wait to return Victoria. There is so much more I want to see, and an amazing burger joint I'll need to find again. On to life's next adventure :) . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #victoria #castle #ocean #pacific #hatley #hatleycastle #royalroads #royal #leader #goals #legacy #flowers #garden #forest #beyourownbanker #yacht #nature #exploring #exclusive (at Victoria, British Columbia)

In Toronto I learned the origins of the handshake: "Hockey historians say the handshake dates to English settlers in Canada, who preached an upper-class version of sportsmanship in the 19th century. Soon, tough kids in urban and prairie rinks began imitating imagined dukes and earls of the old country." -George Vecsey I also was reinvigorated by the fact that Canadians are known for respect for the game of hockey: "In this jersey, I promise to play for logo on the front, not the name on the back" -Sidney Crosby So I wanted to share some random pictures from the rest of my Toronto trip. Massey Hall, the Hockey Hall of Fame, and late-night journeys that began in Ossington and ended in new, strange, and amazing places, with new, strange, and amazing people. Thanks Toronto, it's been a productive visit. I can't wait to return. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #travel #Toronto #blessed #leader #thankful #quotes #legacy #hustle #Canada #nhl #hockey #friends (at The Communist's Daughter)

I believe Tolkien's words hold just as true today, and relate to far more than just the fantasy world they were originally meant for.
