My First Year Playing Hockey 1968-89

My first year playing hockey was 1968-69 for Canada Wire in the Leaside Hockey Association. Pictures taken at Leaside Memorial Arena. Unfortunately, I don't remember any of the names. So if anyone sees themselves please let me know.

I'm 3rd from left, front row.


Bessborough School, Toronto (Leaside), Grade 2 Class, 1969-1970

That's me. Third from the left in the back row. Always so serious 😂

220+ Days Without LinkedIn… Ends a 20 year time waster

After nearly 20 years, and more than 1,000 'connections', on LinkedIn - and absolutely no benefit EVER - I decided to shut down my account. One less social media profile to maintain. Thankfully!

Opened the twitter app on my iPad this morning and this is what I saw, many balloons floating up. Happy birthday to me 😂
