After spending a day in Vancouver preparing for a conference on the tax changes next year old friends are found. Dinner at Cardero's, a walk on the waterfront, and drinks at too many places to count. We brake away from a crowd to go listen to a jazz band I heard earlier. Wouldn't you know, the only available table is front row, and the band is great. A bottle of Tantalus, and a the night ends perfectly. #finance #grin #workhardplayhard # (at Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel)

"We shape our buildings; Thereafter, our buildings shape us" -Winston Churchill As I wandered from my hotel to the St. Lawrence River, then into Old Montréal, I was able to tale a few pictures before my phone died. Getting the walking tour from a client and friend is really the best way to see a city. It really is as beautiful as I was told. The small winding streets, old architecture, and numerous shops. Schwartz's is the place for smoked meat sandwiches; full stop! Everything you want, right down to the greasy floor. I wish my battery had lasted to take pictures of the parliament building, the fort, or first Bank of Montreal. But tomorrow is a new day. For now to rest, morning will come early. #quotes #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #montreal #nofilter #historic #quotesofinstagram (at Vieux-Port de Montréal)

Now this is food for thought. Opinions?

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)
