It was the NO of times,
It was the YES of times.
It was the continuation of the Winter Olympics debate at Birds. It was Nenshi’s fault. Or the media was at fault. Maybe Mary Moran misled us. Or did Licia Corbella lecture too much? Did Farkas fly confusing flags? The YES crowd was too well-heeled. Not heeled. For sure not heeded. And so it goes.
Members:
Brett Bain.
Sean Baylis. Sean gravelled (the sound of a voice that has a cold) that Tech stocks are (may be?) a bargain. Apple, Google, FB and Amazon are down right now. But unlikely for long. • Getting Older. Getting Wiser. He’s been hosting events for those not wanting to end up where no one wants to end up: With no will and no say (after passing on).
Jim Bladon.
Paul Boucher. The golden strains of a busy voice. He’s in demand.. • Suggests the Fine Diner in Inglewood for breakfast. Maybe a bit $$ but tasty. • A vocal off the old chord? His son is voice acting now and again.• Paul told of an interesting new Cannabis product called SexxPot. Helps women reach orgasm quicker than ever. Question: if we found one to slow guys down, would that be karma?
Ian Campbell.
Matt Dart.
Don Davis . Don and Pat are grandparents to twin girls. • Kudos to Ross for bringing Jeff Bradshaw for breakfast.
Todd Dean. His icefall last Thursday is still hurting. Birds, if you’re tempted to wear crampons, it may not be a bad idea. Nor would wearing a helmet. • Todd’s off to NY, NY soon for business.
George Doherty.
Don Doolan. Voted NOPE in the plebiscite.
Tony Fisher . Sees people moving outside of Calgary to escape city taxes. • Also sees some interesting use of Reverse Mortgages.
Gord Forsyth. Not sure he likes reverse mortgages. • Knows for sure that he does not like Licia Corbella’s admonition in today’s newspaper. “Who does she think she is?”, he demanded. (Well, he did in that kind of nice but not happy Gord Forsyth tone of voice.)
Mel Gibson.
Henry Heuver.
David Hicks.
Dan Kennelly. Who says engineers are so logical they’re insensitive? Doesn’t apply to our chairman: Dan spent some time on turtle beaches, helping the newly hatched find the sea. Loved Cabo. Experienced the Day of the Dead. Even sunset cruised. Dan is, well, much like everyone else.
Matt Litke.
Andy Lockhart.
J.D. MacDonald. Looking for a student (late high school; first-year U) who wants a part-time job doing office work. If you know anyone, have them call JD. • He’s talking to the U of C marketing department for some marketing assistance.
Michael McLennan. Inkjets have come a long, long way! (Printers, that is.) He’s impressed with Epson printer/scanners for SOHO use. Lots of function for a low cost.
Ross Mikkelsen. Distracted by the plebiscite.
Mike Mikkelson. Mikey needs to find better reading material. He’s just been through the City budget and is disappointed that the best the city thinks it can do is maybe reduce the $4 Billion budget by 1%.
Brad Pachal. Kudos to Dave Hicks. • Brad has been attending a (hobby) carving class and enjoying the knife work.
Gerry Parcells.
Dwayne Vinck. The Kids’ Help Phone now offers country-wide texting. (That’s a very smart add-on, for kids.) • He’s looking at an App for on-demand freight. Stay tuned for delivery of the rest of the story. He’s leery of cryptocurrency promoters. He senses they smell like Amway.
Bob Wiggins .
Chris Wright.
George Roberts.
Associates:
Gregg Callander. UD (the University District) continues to attract new owners and seems to be thriving in this market. • Retail project unfolding nicely. Financing is a bit of a wrestling match, as funders tend to generalize when assessing our local market. Ah well, ATB and BMO seem to have some critical visioning abilities.
