one thing lead to another to a third

About 10 years I was assigned to go on my first business trip in Canada. It was to install, customize and train our new client in Aurora Ontario (yes - the what's-her-name MP was the CEO then).

So the first morning me and my partner were having breakfast and we were reading the paper. This was the first time I read the Globe and Mail and I spent the most time on the obituaries section. I never read these columns but somehow the Globe got my attention. From then on whenever I get to flip open the Globe I read that section first.

With all the talks about making JP2 a saint here is a guy that is probably more deserved to be one. Not only is he action oriented, talks against injustice, he is also very honest about himself and his mistakes - something not even the beloved JP2 was able to do...

Too bad the article is pay only - here is another one about this priest that is free.

let me be the first to say this on the internet

Last night we invited 2 out-of-town Jesuits home for a get-together. One of them, an alumnus of La Salle College and also attended my alma mater, said that the reason my school has a serious rivalry with Wah Yan College Hong Kong goes as far as the found of Wah Yan. It is documented that he was a teacher at St Joseph's before he started, but apparently he "invited" a few colleagues to come with him. So according to my friend the Jesuit this is the start of a rivalry.
