He ended up hanging himself in his kitchen for his wife and three young kids to find him a few years later.
This guy is the new OMG!WTF!

While I have complaints about our health care system that should be addressed, mostly around lack of funding, it still almost always makes me happy when I have to make use of it.

Wife had our little girl this morning. Arrived at hospital at 1:30 am. Home at 5:30 am. Everyone happy and healthy. Nurses and everyone we dealt with were just absolutely incredible. Rockyview delivers, literally and figuratively!

Makes me incredibly happy.

You mean our healthcare system with the third highest per capita funding in the world?

Yeah, my wife and I had a great experience with maternal care in Vancouver. Went with a midwife and we received world level care. Wife had some complications during labour and the doctors and nurses were incredible.

Oldest is in honours biochemistry, applying for pharmacy at the U of A next year. Youngest is going into CMMB, interested in getting her DVM or completing the degree and doing research.

Yes, getting surgery at Foothills, the people were awesome in every way. The ward was a derelict ugly place full of discarded crap in the hallways that you figure they’d throw out at some point but the surgeons and cardio’s and nurses were saints

Kids team playing on the island today. They are trying to get invited to Macs Midget. They have gone from 18th in the standings to 15th to 12th to 5th and they just beat the #1 team yesterday in a tournament and my kid had two primaries (he's a disher) in a 3-2 win against his old coach.

Just maybe.

I don’t think I’ve ever had bad enchiladas. Lucky or just love enchiladas. Unless corn tortillas which are objectively terrible.

Cups.

Cups make me happy. I like all kinds of cups. I like all colours of cups.

But mostly, I like Grey Cups.
