Birthday

Today was a great day! Really! After bringing Mathieu to school I went to work at the office (Starbucks) where I got a free birthday coffee. Came back home, worked. Sabrina video called me from school and she and her friends wished me a happy birthday, I have to admit I was very touched.

Around 2:00 I went to pick up Mathieu (2:30) and then Sabrina (3:15). Took care of dinner, cleaned up, learned to play "Tiny Epic Kingdoms" with Sabi and Mathieu. Not only was it really fun, but for once I actually won.



After everyone was in bed, I read and was touched by all the happy birthdays I got through Facebook. I took the time to answer every one of them. I was particularly touched by Max's message. It was a great day.

Cheap Cheap

My good friend Dany is acting in this Web series called "Cheap Cheap". He's Carl, the awkward assistant manager of Cheap Cheap who has very week social skills (that's from the bio). The show sounds like it's going to be like The Office, but in a dollar store.

We have to watch it. I need a funny show in my life and that sounds about right. Let's viral this show.

VES Awards in L.A.

Suzanne is attending the 16th Annual VES Awards in Los Angeles tonight. It's basically the Oscars for Visual Effects. Her company, Rodeo FX, has a few nominations at that event (and three films nominated at the Oscars). Chances are, you've seen a movie they've done work on.

A cool little fact, she's staying in the same suite (room) where two nights ago our own PM Justin Trudeau was staying. Must be pretty weird to sleep in the same bed our PM did a few days prior.

Some Serious Tubing

This Saturday we went out to do some serious tubing at the Glissades des Pays d'en Haut with the Prahacs-Roy family. It's the second time we go there in as many years and we had a great time. Except for the Vortex360.  Sabrina stayed home to study.

Sylvain in the background looks guilty of something...

Gotta love their smiles

Perfect picture. Almost, it's missing Sabi.

Afterwards, we all went to Scores in Boucherville (after picking up Sabrina). It was almost a Tendres de Poulet night.

I know it's very fuzzy, but it's just to show that Sabrina really was there.

Thanks, Donna and Mathieu for the photos.

It's coming sooner...

So today it would appear that our Tesla's delivery has moved from Late-2018 to Mid-2018. Chances we'll have a fully electric car by Fall now. It's coming :) We're very excited.

Mont Tremblant

Every year we have to go skiing in Tremblant at least once. Because it was snowing we were lucky enough to have some fresh powder to play with when we first started in the morning. It became a bit rougher in the afternoon and the top was continuously engulfed in clouds, reducing visibility to about 10-20 meters. Mathieu and I spent our afternoon on the TGV and the blacks around it. We had a great time.

A new car

We had to replace the Ford Escape. It's been good to us for the past nine years, but now, with a few thousands worth of repairs needed to prolong its rusty life, it's time to let go.

Tonight we picked up a Volkswagen Tiguan 2018. It's a nice vehicle with nice amenities, bringing us back to 2018.

The Tesla is still slated to arrive in Late 2018.
