Hockey and Tax Numbers For the Win!

View this post on Instagram

The #NHLplayoffs begin soon! Our eyes will be focused on the TV while the players' eyes will be looking for a piece of the #StanleyCup! Who do you think is going to win it all? My @instagram post from July 14 of last summer picked the #MapleLeafs to win the Cup so I will stick with that prediction√ They will be playing the #Bruins in the opening round & that should be a great original 6 battle! The #NHLFlames & the #TBLightning are the western & eastern conference points leaders. Will they meet in the #NHLfinals like they did in 2004? The @tampabaylightning won in 7 games that year with coach #Tortorella. He is behind the bench of the #BlueJackets this year & they should surprise some of the #NHL experts this post season! #Kelowna #voiceover #hockey

The numbers added up nicely on our #TaxReturn! It was our 2nd year with Gooder Financial Management & Steve completed our returns a day after we took them in√ #ShowMeTheMoney #TaxRefund Steve's address on Tutt Street in #Kelowna is #3017. Brings back great memories of our first home with those same numbers in the lower mission on Lowe Court by the college. Across the road from Steve on Tutt Street is @mediabutton. I briefly worked for them in 2002 when they were located downtown on Leon Avenue. I remember owner Dave Araki would always get parking tickets with his BMW:) Dave can also do #voiceover like me but his company also handles #VideoProduction, #Websites, #GraphicDesign & #multiMedia. #KelownaBusiness #KelownaBusinesses #TakinCareOfBusiness

Hockey Weather & Hockey on the Weather Forecast☀️

Are you ready to trade the cold temperatures of February for some spring flowers in March?

That's my Kelowna Chiefs jacket below. They won their opening round playoff game last night, 10-1!

NOT fearing being traded! Safe & sound (literally) providing #voiceover for the #Sabres on MSG-TV for my 11th season! #NHLtradeDeadline is tomorrow√ The #trades can be a great career choice. Our youngest took the HVAC course at @okanagancollegetrades in Penticton and worked in that field before taking a course in Vernon to become an Education Assistant. Now in his 3rd year doing that in #Kelowna while his wife recently began her teaching career with a class of 4th graders. #KeepLearning #NHLtrade

• I like the 14's in each month: February with Valentine's Day and March with my birthday🎂

There is a new #14 on the Canucks. Welcome to Tanner!

I'm betting his smile will be bigger if he scores tonight against Colorado😁 Update at 7:05 pm: He's wearing #70. 
PS Update 2/28 at 7:10 pm. He scored in the first period against Arizona!

MLK, The Dream and The Darryls!

Even though I am a voiceover actor, I will say that actions speak louder than words.

#ProTip: Stay warm with a #smile, #scarf, hat and, if applicable, a #beard√ In the Great Hall last night and the next two as a #mannequin (NO #voiceover!) for #LivingNativity. I'm in the caroling scene with 3 ladies but I snuck this selfie with the #hockey guys. Check out the vintage #Canucks jersey! #LivingNativity2018 #Kelowna

10 straight wins for the Buffalo Sabres in November☑️Crushin' the competion! #CheersToHockey

View this post on Instagram

It's November 29th! That number belongs to #NathanMacKinnon of the #Avs & Jason Pominville of the #Sabres. #BecauseItsTheCup from #TimHortons√ According to Hockey-Reference.com, 391 players have worn #number29 in the #NHL. #HockeyNumbers The 29th was also the day in March that our son, Jordan, was born in 1995. With our daughter being born on May 28th 4 years earlier, I had trouble getting their birthdays straight sometimes. Close but no cigar...or cake...

Ending The Month With a BANG!

Congrats to the Red Sox for winning another World Series⚾

Boo! "Bang and Blame" was the 2nd single off R.E.M.'s "Monster" & was released on #Halloween in 1994: https://t.co/GMbE3l7f0s

The Canucks are the only home team tonight in the NHL. The Blackhawks will be "stick or treating."

I See You #30👀

Slow Down as School Days are upon us again! Watch for kids👀

Celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary last month (August 13th)💕
Love walking through life with my wife, Darlene! These photos were taken exactly two years ago today.

Here is me as a youngster getting the autograph of a future CFL Hall of Famer: "Dirty Thirty" Jim Young of the BC Lions. I'm placing the date as 1974 at Kelowna's City Park during training camp. 















The man in the middle on the right without the headset is former head coach, Eagle Keys. He lived to be 89, passing away six years ago.

I share the same birthday in March as the famous #30 who's signature is embroidered below on one of my hats.

It belongs to the two-time MVP of the three-time world champion Golden State Warriors, Steph Curry.

Scoring Big With Tom Cruise and Toronto's Maple Leafs!

I haven't blogged twice in a month since July of 2016 - but I'm doing it again✔️
Like my last post, let's start off with the double-sided sign just up the street from us.

Did you see James Corden go skydiving with Tom Cruise a couple days ago?


Cruise's "Mission: Impossible – Fallout" is now in theatres🎦

What was once thought impossible is a real possibility now in the NHL. The Toronto Maple Leafs could win their first Stanley Cup since 1967 after signing John Tavares. In fact, I predicted they will hoist the Cup in this Instagram post two weeks ago!

If you are a Maple Leafs fan, you will enjoy this Friday flashback featuring the number 27. Please scroll to the bottom to read the tweet so it makes more sense. I apologize to all the Buffalo Sabres' fans for tooting Toronto's horn👿

It's the 27th! That number belongs to one of the greatest @NHL players in @MapleLeafs history: Darryl Sittler. A couple of 27-year-olds are a big part of the #Leafs future: John Tavares & Nazem Kadri. 7 letters in #Toronto & #Tavares. More 7's in the article✔️#IsItOctoberYet pic.twitter.com/CxzUT5G6sC
