After the stresses of day-to-day signman chaos, I like to unwind at home in the hottub with my beautiful bride (and business partner) sipping happy-hour cocktails. We enjoy supporting our local Junior B hockey club in winter and Cubs U18 baseball during spring and summer. We sponsor every minor hockey team and the junior club with helmet logos and number decals, banners, etc. I keep busy by crafting driftwood sculptures, doing 2,000-piece puzzles and watching the Disney channels. Even a few hours of any hobby helps the stress level. Blessed with island life — whale watching, fishing and fires on the beach with ocean views for miles or cruising in our hotrod ’84 modified Corvette or ’55 Ford panel van — spoiled! Steve the Shop Dog by our side everywhere we go. We work very hard and are on the tail end of our careers with retirement in sight … hopefully, just a few more years to go.
