Welcome Letter

Welcome back

This summer was slightly different than my pre-child days of 50 rounds of golf.  Daddy is in complete control as my wife Ashlee works throughout the summer.  Aria and I had the BEST summer together.  I hash tagged it as "Daddy Dates"!  Activities were key to my survival, including regular trips to the pool, zoo, library/parachute club, and weekly Canada's Wonderland visits were among our favourites.  I rode on the carousel more times than you could imagine :)

One of the highlights of my summer was travelling to Prince Edward Island with my family. We had an incredible week staying at a beachfront cottage located in the small town of Hampton, which is 30 minutes west of Charlottetown.  Some of the highlights were our lobster/crab fishing tour, Cavendish beach, visiting the toy factory, and eating at the local establishments. 

One of my passions is "Golf".  Due to time restrictions and chasing around a busy toddler, I didn't play as much golf as usual.  This summer I was lucky to play Links at Crowbush (PEI), Barrie Country Club, National Pines and a few other tracks that surround the GTA.  Overall, I would say the state of my game was "inconsistent".....  Visualize a roller coaster, with its ups, downs, twists and turns.  Let's leave it at that :)

Another activity that I enjoy in my free time is READING.  This summer I read several books including "A Long Walk to Water", "Smart Baseball", "The Range Bucket List" and "Bear Town"!  I also spent countless hours following my twitter timeline and reading sports articles on my iPad.   

We are all now back for another school year.  This year's classroom quote is "You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take".  Whether were in the gym or in the classroom, I expect your best effort.   Let's make the next 200 days great!
