Shakespeare would have adored Dexter, our golden retriever, for his inspirational existence.
To be in or not to be in…that is the question. Hark…is that doth Dexter at the door who beckons to come in? Come hither young golden for it is your passion to know not whether you need to be out or in. What are these goals that you chase after? Alas, we have no means other than to be present to bring you hence forth into the home. Walk through thy glistening white tiled kitchen floor. See what prints thou bear into my very soul. And I shall see such black and grained marks … they have their tracks. Nay but to live and glow in your precious being. Good night sweet Prince…I shall wash you tomorrow.
Dexter brings the Shakespeare out in all of us who know him.

What an amazing 2 weeks it has been. We went from having National anxiety to feeling completely proud of being Canadian. Half way through the Olympics we were tied with Korea. They don’t even have snow. How does that work? It would be like us going to Seoul and taking them to the matt in Taekwondo. It shouldn’t happen. But now we can reflect on the spirit of Canada and know that it was that amazing energy on the streets, in the stands and in the rain on the side of the ski hills that propelled those amazing athletes to meet with success. I rarely watch hockey but I was no more than 6 inches from the screen all week taking it all in. At 2-2 with 24 seconds on the clock I thought I might have a stroke but it made the ending all that more fun. Way to go Canada!
