Here is David and Ginette

This is one of my very best buddy, Dave. He also does tap dancing on the side but exclusivelly with his dear wife Ginette. They are both retired and travelling around the globe on a 42 sailboat. Wish I was there.

The Philosophy of Charles Schultz

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.

You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners. How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners .

Here's another quiz.

See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with .

Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care .

Eclipse of the moon

I enjoyed the lunar eclipse in February 2008. It was spectacular. Man, I love ASTRONOMY... It's like looking into my backyard.

Thank you Luc for this photo.

Nice Short Films...

Some of you may know that I have just finished a Short Comedy and am very passionate about Films.

This site is great for Shorts from Down Under (and not
Cannes).

Enjoy.

Good men...

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation, for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company."


George Washington
First president of US (1732 - 1799)

On military defense

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."

My prediction for US President... as of Feb 08

I am predicting that the next President of the USA is going to be a man... this one...

Woops... Sorry, wrong picture. I meant this dude:

Meet JF

J-F is a national champion in tap dancing but he remains humbled about his title.

He also helps me in my movie making. He's just a great guy and I am happy to intoduce him to my readers.

Oh yes, he is single and available.

Meet Tara

She also does tap dancing like no other but she is mostly a great Poker Card player... In fact, she is brutal when it comes to winning... That is why she is a Poker Mentor for me (and to my loss...).

Poker on baby.

Mercury

The cratered expanse pictured above was mostly in darkness 30 years ago when NASA's Mariner 10 spacecraft made the first and (until now) only flybys of Mercury. Last week, MESSENGER caught the terrain in sunlight for the first time.

…

"These are fantastic images," says Murchie. For one thing, "we've gotten our first good look at Caloris Basin," the biggest known impact crater on Mercury and one of the biggest craters in the entire solar system.

Right: Typical of the images returned by MESSENGER, this horizon shot shows the beautifully shadowed crater named Sholem Aleichem.

Introducing Serge

Serge is a good friend of our family. He is good at tap dancing, modelling and soccer. His problem is he can't find any chicks... so if you know of someone that matches him, write to me and we will arrange something...

Just kidding... he is already taken.

What is "Today"?

Yesterday is history,

Tomorrow, a mystery,

Today, a gift.

Thus, it is called the "present".

Introducing my Down Syndrome Daughter's web album

This is our beautiful Julie, she is currently almost 21 years old and received a Sony DSC-S650 Digital camera for Christmas. We created her own Web Album and since Julie cannot write or read, I did the captions... trying to think the way she does. This will be updated periodically. We are very proud of our dearest Angel. Here is her new webalbum site.

If you are a new parent of a Down Syndrome child and are confused or even if you hurt, please contact us. There are many wonderful things that you may not know about this wonderful unique type of individual. Do talk to other parents to discover an entire universe of bliss... believe me.
