I come from a family of avid skiers, and I am business traveler and Ottawa Senators hockey fan. We live in the mountains in western Canada so we can Ski/hike/bike as much as possible. #GoSensGo !!

Re Florida Panthers: No 2026 first round pick. They don't have a 2027 or 2029 first round pick & their 2028 is currently in Utah They may go deep in 2027, but they also have the second oldest avg team age in the NHL & no draft picks to replace high end talent. Its gonna be lean from 2027 onward.

Some movies I recently revisited. Margin Call - A sharp and well crafted movie about how a "nameless" Trading firm dealt with the sub-prime meltdown. It shows how ruthless commodity traders are, in cold calculated actions. Wrath of Man - A Jason Statham vehicle, but not a typical one. Very Stylized.

My father and his partner travelled to Ottawa from Nova Scotia this week. They are at the game with my sister! I am jealous! (Went to more than a few games with the elder statesman of the family back in the day). Go Sens Go!

Florida lost today, but Brady Tkachuk finally got his first point of the season. It was an assist. (on the power play) He is now on pace to have 12 points for the season, if he stays healthy and doesn't get bitten or suspended.

NYC flea market vinyl shopping. Scored some high quality albums in mint condition (including one original pressing). Gonna culture my son with some of the music from my youth, all of which was made with analogue equipment and not one note of auto tune.

I'll take "Places you would not expect to see Sens Sickos" For 100 (points for Timmy) there Alex..

So my son was at the Bring me the horizon concert tonight in Ottawa. Made a sign and manage to get picked to sing a song on stage with them. Knocked it out of the park.

Hockey is back. Ottawa ain’t playin, and I am conflicted about which game to watch tonigh. Panthers vs hurricanes to see the likely blood bath or Canadiens vs Leafs to see how the two blood feud teams stack up. Decisions, decisions….

I watched Neil Peart: No one’s Disciple today. What an intimate and exceptionally well crafted documentary. It is a beautiful and touching tribute as told by his friends. If you know of Peart or his drumming, I highly recommend it. It is a homage of his exceptional talent and his humanity.

Eklund sadly fails his first test as a Senator: reporter asks him why he thought it was important to win the game and he says "well, you want to win every game" instead of the correct answer: Fuck The Habs.

Ottawa Senators on Fanatics is still trying to sell Brady Tkachunk jerseys... YO, your algorithm is saying you have a lot of those in stock so they should be pushed by marketing. Might be a reason for that, so maybe ignore what Ai is suggesting?

Happy International dog day! Meet Louis! He is a Golden Doodle, though he is trimmed short due to the summer heat out in Kelowna. He loves food, though he is a bit of a food snob, but he really loves hiking and climbing, running and exploring and also cuddling when he is on his downtime.

Hmm, the 4th MLA since Kerry-Lynne Findlay was elected leader left the BC Conservatives today. And even though the BC NDP has reached its political best before date, the BC Cons are tanking in the polls too. Maybe if you didn't elect a Maple Maga racist as leader, this wouldn't be happening.

Rough flight home. Stuck for 3 hours on the taxiway at JFK during a ground stop. A storm rolled in and slammed the place. The Aircraft was seriously shaking. And then all the phones lit up with a tornado warning. We took off much later but apparently a tornado did touch down 3 miles from JFK. Crazy

Out on a taxiway at JFK airport. A storm rolled in and we are on a ground stop. Gonna be parked a while as the pilots shut down the engines and turned on the APU. Hopefully we get to take off after this long ground stop and we don’t return to the gate. (You should see the airport in these photos)

NYC subway advertising for a law firm. This is in the 28th street station by my office. Imagine the marketing meeting that came up with this. (And the graphic artists reaction when they were asked to make it) I am both awestruck and mystified.
