Pool Party
Thank you Kim and Pascal for having us for a pool party. The kids had a great time, swam a lot and played a lot. I should have had my phone at the pool though ;)

Girl with peanut allergy dies after taking bite of treat at California summer camp
"A 13-year-old girl with a peanut allergy died at a popular family summer camp in Sacramento after taking a bite of a Rice Krispies treat.

Natalie Giorgi died Saturday at Camp Sacramento after eating the snack, which had peanuts, even after her parents administered multiple doses of medicine, the Sacramento Bee reported.

A family friend told the Bee that Giorgi was diligent about her allergy, and spit out the treat right away after tasting peanuts."

I think about this every single day. Sabrina's disease is no joke (though some have treated it as such) and has more chances then most kids I know of being alive a minute, and dead the other. Furthermore, the epipen may not work. Any food she eats may be tainted. My heart is with Natalie Giorgi's family.

Oscar Everest Vamos Darwish
My friend Stephanie and her wife Jo welcomed their first son in this world today. I only met Stephanie a few times but at the 48h Tremblant I liked her right away: very competitive and very nerdy (look at the cool name). Congrats to both.

Family Past
Here is a picture of my mom when she was 7 years old. "Tu vois ma mère ne s'est vraiment pas occupé de moi dans un sens, elle me donnait ce que je voulait et comme je lisais beaucoup et j'avais beaucoup d'idées j'ai commencé jeune à me débrouiller et à Mtl c'est tellement facile tu as tout a porté de ta main, ma mère a voulu faire de moi un petit chien savant pourquoi je sais pas (c.était l'époque Shirley Temple et elle me coiffait comme elle)  à trois ans je prenais des cours de diction, et elle m'amenait à la piscine,au cinéma, j'ai vu tous les fims au Lowes, apres les cours de dance elle travaillais fort pour mon côté artistique, mais le sport, je passait mes été à la piscine et au  tennis, et à 10 ans j'allais magasiner dans'' l'ouest'' (pour moi c'est la définition des quartiers). Morgan, Eaton, etc j'allais retrouver Gisele qui travaillait chez Birks."
