In the First Person
I have a soft spot for old, unreliable British trucks, and enjoy summers at our ramshackle family cottage in Québec.
In my off-hours I train in Muay Thai, collaborate with the chaotic-good energy of little league baseball, and hope against hope that the Blue Jays make the post-season.
