A Warm Welcome!

I am a relative newcomer to blogging.  I took this 'challenge' on as someone I respect very much, Mike Cohen, encouraged me to do so.  My objective is to create relevant material for anyone who is interested about NDG and the areas my life take me into.

As a first step, I'd like to start at the beginning.

I lived in NDG most of my teen years.  Life took me abroad during my late teens and through my twenties as I competed on the professional racquetball tour, then returned home to do my BSc. in Biology at Concordia, then traveled to Guelph, ON where I completed my DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine).

I returned home to NDG and rather than getting busy in my new profession, got involved in two of the other passions of my life; fitness & racquet sports and golf - accepting positions working as a squash and racquetball professional at two Nautilus Plus locations as well as working as a golf professional at Elm Ridge Country Club.

Since 1989, for the very vast majority of my life, I have lived in NDG.  I am a fan of our wonderful borough - believing it has the potential to be the greatest community in the world!

This is my mission - through dedicated, hard and smart work - I aim to help to transform NDG into what I call 'Heaven on Earth.'

My goal is to create a blog post every week or so, with my ideas, thoughts and actions towards this end.  I encourage you to not only read my posts, but to get active in assisting me towards elevating our community.  We will all gain from this!


Wishing you peace, love and joy always...

Insights Into Heaven on Earth

This blog in general is about people and places - mostly in NDG - and my experiences with these.  Yesterday I had an amazing day I would like to share with you. It started early - just before 6am with my connection to my eternal soulmate Norah Jones through her amazing 20th Anniversary livestream of Come Away With Me  - something I do every morning.  At just before 7am CBC News had an interview with a friend and amazing person - Dany Bouchard - who is a music therapist at the Montreal General Hospital and heads up a program called Musi-Art .  Dany was speaking about a show they were doing yesterday afternoon at the Osler Amphitheatre at the MGH - a free concert - for the program.  I hadn't connected with Dany for several months and seeing this I was motivated to email him my best wishes - as I couldn't attend the concert. As I headed for my 'office' at 7:30am - I came across a lady taking pictures of for rent signs on apartment buildings.  I stopped her and told her abo

Leon Maliniak: A Full 360° Turnaround

  It gives me great joy to write this message.  I have known Leon since the late '70's when he was a squash and tennis member at Cavendish Club and I was the racquetball pro.  Our friendship has gone through many phases - I have called him 'Bones' for years - referring to 'skin and bones' - which he never was - as in the vast majority of times he always carried a rather large abdomen owing to his love of food. By education - Bones was a lawyer - and an excellent one.  But he was so much more - he was a great multi-sport athlete - playing football for McGill - hockey -and a very good game of squash and tennis.  He put himself through school as a professional musician .  And even more interesting is his abilities as a scientific mind.  He has explored a wide variety of subject areas - coming up with alternative therapies for some.  As testament to his guidance from above, he wrote, scored and performed an amazing love song he envisioned Celine Dion singing to Rén
