This Week in John’s Life
It’s been a full and rewarding week. Over the weekend, I had the chance to spend some quality time with my girls. Avery just started Grade 12 and June is now in Grade 10. Hard to believe how fast time flies! Back-to-school always feels like a big milestone and this year even more so.
I made a stop at the Cedar Farmers Market and stumbled upon the best pulled pork sandwich of my life. (photo here). Midweek, I traveled to Vancouver to officiate an MMA event (video here). I thrive on these day trips. The energy of the crowd, the intensity of the matches and the camaraderie of the fighters and fans. It's a reminder of the passion and dedication that fuels the sport.
