November 12th
T’was a nice, sunny day outside but kind of gloomy inside. Economy seems lifeless. Maybe it is time to head to South Carolina for a little golf and R&R.
Members:
Brett Bain.
Sean Baylis. Well, of course, Sean can see gold where others see naught. For instance, Canadian Tire sales are strong and their divided is 9.5%. They’re now looking to expand into the US. • Watch for Sean’s invite to his client bash in Quarry Park.
Jim Bladon.
Paul Boucher.
Greg Callander.
Ian Campbell. His Change of Use Permit has been issued for his Signal Hill clinic. Yay! Now, all he needs is a few more customers so he can pay his interior decorator. (Mmm, maybe quite a few more customers would be better.)
Don Davis. While the rest of Canada watches with (check one: ☐Disdain ☐Dismay ☐Delight) as Trudeau enlists 25,000 new Liberal Party members, Don considers sending travel money to the lovely slav, Olga, in Kazakhstan. She reely want to kum to Khanada. (She say she b gud in all kinds of ways in her emails to Don.) Her slogan is pretty nifty: You pay. I fly.
Todd Dean. Google partners can now test each page of your website. With a little TGC (tender google care), Todd can tweak each page of your site – and increase your conversions. • Blasphemy, I say. Blasphemy: Todd may purchase a PC laptop (in lieu of his aging Mac).
George Doherty.
Don Doolan. Got hustled on Remembrance Day, by an 88 year-old vet (who may or may not be a vet … and who may or may not be 88 years of age, either). It happened at the Kensington Legion. Don quit when the shuffleboard stakes were for his neat little Caddy. • If you’re dreaming of a new Ford 150, plan to baby it: aluminium may sound like a good idea – but it takes lotsa gold to repair it.
Ken Eades.
Tony Fisher.
Gord Forsyth. Red’s Diner in Ramsay serves an amazing brunch but the line up can be long on Sunday mornings. (Gord lost 2.2 lbs while waiting.) • Like many Birds, Gord shared some observations about WWII and some stories about soldiers in the family.
Mel Gibson.
Henry Heuver. Henry remembers the liberation of the Netherlands by the Canucks. He is, like many of the Dutch, very grateful.
David Hicks. Fresh from a California attitude makeover. Looks like it worked.
Bill Hoogstratten.
Dan Kennelly. Every visit to a client site seems to reveal yet another contact has been let go. Very uncomfortable situation.
Keith Kozak. Yes, prices are down a bit. Yes, rents may take a bit of a cut, too. But the wheels are turning and business is being done. And Keith is getting his share of it.
Matt Litke. Hosted a Remembrance Day ceremony at his facility and was moved as the WWII generation reminisced about their experiences during the war.
Andy Lockhart.
J.D. MacDonald. Grandkids wanted to know all about these ‘poppies’. JD was happy to help them understand.
Michael McLennan. He’s serious about this golf trip and Sean is too. In fact, he’s working on some VIP passes from the Royal Bank.
Ross Mikkelsen. Want to check out the neighbourhood? Go to www.Housecreep.com
Mike Mikkelson. Warns about CRA fraud scammers. He’s been called and threatened twice.
Gerry Parcells.
Bruce Roblin.
Dwayne Vinck. Warns about emails to Accounts Payable. Scammers are getting very sophisticated and harder to catch than ever before.
Bob Wiggins.
Following is the website which I referred to this morning. The site provides information and the method for reporting both email (Dwayne) phone (Mike) fraud/suspected fraud.
Chris Wright.
George Roberts. Words work when written well.
