The following photos are my own, which I took on March 16th at a delicatessen. Yes, I had breakfast out on that day...smoked salmon, 2 sunny side up eggs and very little potatoes, coffee and water. I really don't eat much but I try my best to eat healthy.
Warning....these photos are selfies, which I took in two different ways. The first one I took through a mirror and the second normally. You can click on any image to see a larger view. Please note that I am camera shy and not photogenic! A friend of mine whom I showed these photos to likes them and says I look very good. So I decided to share them with you all. 


This last, but certainly not least, photo is of my beloved father. I was very close to my father, he was a strict, but very kind and gentle, caring man! This is the last known photo of my father before he died. This photo was taken in June, 1984, two months before my father passed...of a heart attack. He was only 64. I was only 27. I took this photo from a hospital ID card that he had, and I have kept this all these years. I still miss him. Please note that he had very little gray hair at 64!



The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal! Enjoy!  :)
