@n_hold One day I was doing yard work and a 6-year-old in our neighbourhood came running up and said he needed help in the nearby playground. I quickly went with him, thinking someone was injured. We got to the park, he jumped on the swing and asked for a push.
Well played!

@Devin_Heroux that sweep by Emma and Sarah is why they should have benches like they do at local rinks. 😁

@jjonescurl do you have a way to draw where the rocks will move so we can see what you mean by a “shot for four”? You were right, but I sure didn’t see how it was going to happen!

Robin Williams warned us about Donald Trump.

We didn’t listen.

@wealthy_barber @dougboneparth I listened to the podcast the other day. I can see now that David is right - Doug has amazing hair!

[David Chilton @wealthy_barber]

A father gave his daughter “The Wealthy Barber” for Christmas this year and included this motivational note.

To my daughter,
This book, The Wealthy Barber by Dave Chilton (yes, the guy from Dragons’ Den), is one of the most influential books I’ve ever read. I first read the original version 30 years ago, and it completely changed how I think about saving, investing, and managing money.
So, what’s this book worth? 5 possible answers …
a) $26.95
b) $1,000
c) $25,000
d) $1,000,000
e) $0
Here’s what those numbers mean:
$26.95 – That’s what you’d pay for it in a store.
$1,000 – That’s what it’s worth if you read it. Why? Because I’ll pay you $50 per chapter and an extra $500 when you finish the book.
$25,000 – That’s what it could be worth if you take that $1,000 and invest it the way the book suggests. By the time you’re my age, that’s a realistic outcome.
$1,000,000 – That’s what it could be worth if you follow its principles and start saving 15–20% of your earnings now. If you invest early and consistently, you will almost certainly become a millionaire.
$0 – That’s what it’s worth if you don’t read it and apply it.

Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.

She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.

About always believing something wonderful is about to happen.

What a legend. I thought it was fitting to share this post today as we’re going to miss her. @cbccolleenjones @Devin_Heroux
