"I'm dehydrated... I'll just add some water to my Scotch" -Unknown The meal at the Bruichladdich event was on point, and match precisely with the scotch samples. And as we were hydrated; or saturated, from the sky the band played on, never missing a beat. It was a great evening on the banks of the Bow River, I'm surprised I never uploaded the pictures before. . . . . . . #bruichladdich #betterlatethannever #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Calgary #yyc #thankful #legacy #rain #leader #scotch #private #exclusive #socialbuttonco #meals #food #music #wine #llconversations (at St. Patrick Island)

Many countries printed excess money in the financial crisis of 2008. Eventually we are going to have to deal with the resulting deflation. http://www.businessinsider.com/why-is-deflation-bad-2015-1

"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)

"I love that this morning's sunrise does not define itself by last night's sunset." -Steve Maraboli What's the story morning glory? The final sunrise in Montréal before heading off to Toronto.

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.

Thankful for the trip out on the water, and short sailing lesson, before I had to leave to go back home; before the next journey begins. I love my clients! I'll miss you Vancouver. So the only limerick/poem I know about a Captain, or in this case the civil war is: "O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;           But O heart! heart! heart!               O the bleeding drops of red,                   Where on the deck my Captain lies,                       Fallen cold and dead. O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills, For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding, For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;           Here Captain! dear father!               This arm beneath your head!                   It is some dream that on the deck,                       You’ve fallen cold and dead. My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still, My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will, The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done, From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;           Exult O shores, and ring O bells!               But I with mournful tread,                   Walk the deck my Captain lies,                       Fallen cold and dead." - Walt Whitman #finance #financialplanning #workhardplayhard #entrepreneur #thankful #poetry #sailing #yacht (at Royal Vancouver Yacht Club (official))

And so we leave you CederCreek, a little more tipsy, and on to our next two wineries today. #entrepreneur #finance #business #vacation #wine #winetasting #winery (at CedarCreek Estate Winery)

Sometime between 4:30 and 5:15pm driving between Calgary and Banff. Great Scott! #ItsReal #BackToFutureDay #bttf2015

"What makes night within us may leave stars."      -Victor Hugo Younge-Dundas Square is an oasis of light in the dark Toronto night. After the earlier festivities down in Ossington, I find an all night coffee shop/dive restaurant; the kind that serves 24/7 breakfast, and make myself at home. Staring across the street at Massey Hall, I realize there are much worse places to find myself working on spreadsheets and catching up on emails. After a meal, and a cup of rocket fuel, I decide to stop exploring for the evening, and head back to the hotel for a few moments of sleep before its time for calls and meetings. #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Toronto #thankful #coffee #massey #eatoncentre #allnighter #travel #exploring (at CF Toronto Eaton Centre)
