Starstruck
I had only my third celebrity encounter since moving to California this weekend. Princess Sophie went to say hello to her, and I recognized her from Grey’s Anatomy. Jaicy Elliot is so nice and down to earth! We switched from English to French – she told me where in France she grew up, but according…

Vegas Bound

When I look at the Stanley Cup Playoff bracket for this year, I see massive hurdles. Last night the Las Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Colorado Avalanche to advance to the next round of the playoffs… against my Montreal Canadiens. They are, without a doubt, a very daunting team. They are a strong squad that…

Touchdown!
I like to deliver the same message every time I teach a class, whether it be Microsoft, CompTIA, VMware, on-premises or cloud technologies. I have been teaching certification classes since 2006 and started attending them as a student several years before that. I know that there are good instructors and great instructors… and there are…

On This Day…
I always look forward to Facebook reminding me what I was up to on this day a year ago, two years ago, a decade ago. Yesterday afternoon I was reminded that two years ago today my (then) girlfriend and I went to Griffith Park for lunch, and then to The Alcove in Los Feliz for…

Originally awarded to Canada’s amateur hockey teams who won a combination of challenge games and league play.

Go Habs Go!
I was spoiled growing up. By that, I do not mean that I grew up in an upper-middle class home in an upper-middle class neighbourhood – I did. I do not mean that as a child I got everything that I wanted – I most certainly did not. I was nobody’s favourite, I was not…

It is a hard day every year when I realize how bad a team my beloved Montreal Canadiens are. Unfortunately, it has also been a reality of the life of a Habs fan for the past few years… and if we are to be honest about it, most years for the past 25. Our years…
