May 19th has come and gone
The Peanut Butter Classic, with 98% of all money raised going to Alcove Addiction Recovery for Women – is struggling to ‘sell out’ this year. They are short 30 golfers so please, mention this shortfall to the women in your life. The cause is good. The tourney is fun and well run. And with this being its 13th year of play, this years date is Monday, June 13th. Cost is a jar of peanut butter and oh, yeah, $250.00. Calgary Firefighters are on hand to make the day a ‘little hotter’ and maybe , to take a bow on behalf of their fellow firefighters in Fort Mac.

Members:
Brett Bain. Is ‘party’ in our genes? Are we born to be Liberal? Or to be Conservative? Brett works with a maritimer who is astounded by how Conservative most Westerners are. The salty guy is accustomed to the east coast where most people are seasoned Liberals.
Sean Baylis. Your local Panamanian Tax Haven Procurer: yes, you can reduce income taxes and do so without shame or legal complications. • Just ask Sean. * Also expect Interest Rates to awaken, soon. • And US dollar hedging continues to be profitable.
Jim Bladon. Banking on 3D printers, he is, for prosthetics. He’s seen them in action and is impressed. • The local hospitality marketplace is suffering from such high vacancy rates, it is enough to drive a guy to escape to the Wilderness Club in Whitefish, Montana. Which is precisely where Jim’s been.
Paul Boucher. Paul is getting more than his money’s worth at Calgary’s Chamber of Commerce. • And, says Paul, you might just enjoy the book Abundance (by Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler.) I sure like it.
Greg Callander.
Ian Campbell.
Matt Dart. Congratulations Matt! O Canada: he is about to become a citizen of our great country. Welcome, Matt.
Don Davis. I think it is the direct opposite of cannibalism: 3D printers spend half their time reproducing parts … for 3D printers.
Todd Dean.
George Doherty. He’s back at work on the next ‘drive’ for Birds: the Jim White Memorial Golf Tourney. Details to come. • George warns us of the perils of Aleve and Motrin. They’re good for inflammatory pains – but really hard on the gut. Take lots of Tums when using these over the counter pills – or get your Doc to prescribe a buffered version.
Don Doolan. .
Ken Eades.
Tony Fisher. There is no argument. Bigger is better. Indeed, the bigger the house, the more elaborate the games room. And the more Tony can do for the owner and his/her family.
Gord Forsyth . Not impressed by GreenDrop lawn service. In fact, he has a serious problem with the word ‘service’ being in their name.
Mel Gibson. Before you take the money and run … Mel mentions that when a house burns down, the insurance payoff will be less if the owner choses to not rebuild. (Unless you’re with Chubb.)
Henry Heuver. It is so dry, you must water your trees. Even if we get some rain this weekend.
David Hicks. Codes to come? Shaking his head at the foolishness of Ontario where new homes must reflect their plan to have all homes heated electrically by 2030.
Bill Hoogstratten.
Dan Kennelly. He did it to himself. He held his hand up and poof: he is now on the Community League board. • Reports that break and enters are increasing across the city – much of it driven by the need for a fix of fentanol.
Keith Kozak. Has had Just Energy knocking at his door. And has sent them packing. Advises you to do the same.
Matt Litke. Hasn’t lost his touch; ran a busy meeting with time to spare. (There was enough time for some of us to actually wake up and contribute.)
Andy Lockhart. Andy has had better weeks. This week there is the Heave-Ho of a non-functioning DI board member. (Dan Kennelly, take notes.)
J.D. MacDonald. T’is the season for tree roots and sewer problems. If yours is more odour-ous than normal, you might want to get it checked.
Michael McLennan.
Ross Mikkelsen. Speaking of smelly things … Cast iron pipes do not a good gas line make. Seems some were installed and now they’ve rusted away. If you smell gas in your yard, you might want to check yours out,
Mike Mikkelson. The Mikkelson’s are so cool: Mike has installed A/C.
Gerry Parcells. He’s on his second knee: Gerry has had one operated on and it’s just fine … so now the other one wants what the good one got.
Bruce Roblin.
Dwayne Vink.
Bob Wiggins. He’s been missing his pancakes and French Toast. So have most other Birds. Watch for more menu options soon. Thanks, Bob.
Chris Wright.
George Roberts. Words work when written well.
