March 2024!

  What a crazy year it has been! First thing as it is fresh to mind.  Hockey season has wrapped up, lost in the first round to Woodstock. UGH.  Poor Declan was suspended for the last game of the season and first game of the playoffs for a crappy call by Hamilton Refs.  Anyways, Coach Fio and the boys are moving on and Bryson Sheriff will be the U15AA coach next year.  Declan is excited about having Bryson as coach for Hockey.  We can tie that in talking about Lacrosse.  Box Lacrosse tryouts for Rep are in a couple weeks.  I never thought Declan would be so into it.  Last year was a great first Lacrosse experience for Declan, he loves the contact and the battle of it! Bryson wont be coaching Lacrosse this season, so that is a dissappointment.  But Lacrosse tryouts at the beginning of April and Hockey tryouts at the End of April.

  Addison has had an interesting year! She is a very picky young woman, and has had a boyfriend for nearly a year.  His name is Caleb, and he is a great young man.  She is 16 and Caleb is 17.  He is a great student, and a kind and smart human.  They are great together and definitely best friends.  It is so nice to see them together!  school is going well, and she has been asked to participate in a program for girls looking to go into the law profession.  She is excited for it.  She is still working at Fortinos, and says she hates it, but I think she really enjoys it, she definitely enjoys having money.  She has her G2 license and has been driving to and from work.  Shes a work in progress, but doing well.

  Work is a combination of challenging and annoying right now.  Dealing with Precasters and thin brick is a pain in the butt.  Always a problem, and always a difficult solution.  I have learned so much this year with my experiences.  Adam has done a good job allowing me to learn the ups and downs on my own with some sage advice and guidance.  He often ends up correct in his predictions of how a company will behave, its uncanny.  We are doing really well and have years worth of orders.

  The government of Canada are on the top of everyones mind currently.  PM Justin Trudeau feels like a bad tennant at this point.  He is devastated in the polls.  Taxes on taxes on taxes.  We make great money between Tara and I $250k+, but we have never been so broke.  Its crazy.  average number of people that leave Canada/year is around 90k.  Last year was 450k.  Government is awful, but what are the options? NONE in Canada.  No one can call an election except for the PM, Governor general or King of England.  No one can stop this dictator clown from financially destroying Canada for years.

  Thats about it for now.  Maybe I'll post again this year.....who knows?
