"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 #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #remember #thankful #humble #legion #rememberanceday #veteransday #armisticeday #troops (at Prince's Island Park)
"Is hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner, and the concentration of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us. Oh yeah, did I mention that this whole time we're standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick? Is ice hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me... Next question." -Brendan Shanahan I feel the 1972 Summit Series area was, aside from the Esso Great Hall, my favorite part of the Hockey Hall of Fame. I wasn't around for another decade, but I relived the series through family, rebroadcasts on television, and eventually a made for tv movie. I only wish you could hear Foster Hewitt scream the, "Henderson! Henderson has scored for Canada!" as soon as you step foot in the area. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Toronto #thankful #leader #legend #legacy #hustle #Canada #canadian #nhl #hockey #hockeyhalloffame #summit (at Hockey Hall of Fame)

When you're going for a Rolls-Royce quote, do you go the classics from Henry Royce? "Strive for perfection in everything you do." -Henry Royce "Whatever is rightly done, however humble, is noble. (Quidvis recte factum quamvis humile praeclarum.)" -Henry Royce "Take the best that exists and make it better." -Henry Royce Or do you go with something with more unique: "I am like a Rolls-Royce. I can run without an engine, purely on reputation." -Shahrukh Khan Whatever the answer, the unveiling of the 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom was a sight to behold. Of course Calgary had to get hit with a blizzard, and the roads resulted in being more than a little touch a go than anyone would prefer. It started late, but Million Air made a great host. When you walk in from the blowing snow and trade a jacket and gloves for flutes of champagne and oer d'oeuvres, you know the drive was worth while. This version of the legendary Phantom was the extended wheel base version, over 23' long. It's a land yacht of luxury. The first car to be equipped with laser lights, and so over the top in splendor, most of the private jets sharing the hanger blushed. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #Calgary #yyc #thankful #legacy #leader #goals #thankful #wine#legend #luxurycars #luxury #rollsroyce #phantom #wine #yacht (at Million Air Calgary)

"Las Vegas looks the way you’d imagine heaven must look at night.” -Chuck Palahniuk Lucky enough to qualify for the Leaders Conference, which this year was in Vegas Baby! So when we aren't crushing it at the tables...er...tirelessly studying with other professionals about the newest tax changes...ya, thats it, some of of took of to explore the strip. Honestly my favorite part in any city, is exploring places. Vegas in particular is almost unrecognizable from day to night. Lessons learned quickly: I was rusty in blackjack, 22 push can be forgiving, @mylifeyyc was dangerously good at baccarat, and @andyfreeman99 plans great restaurant encompassing recharges. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlife #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #vegas #lasvegas #flamingo #ceaserspalace #Paris #drais #margarita #margaritaville #bellagio #travel #poker (at Las Vegas Strip)

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)
