Is it just me or is this a cultural ' thing' but when I read Aki's & Yoshi's BIO they both state " one wife "  ? I just wonder   .... How about you?
I am just wondering how many wives do you have around the world?
Arnold, I'm jsut kidding.

Post by Laurent Dubreuil (Larry) on May 31, 2016 18:30:21 GMT
Hello all!
My name is Laurent Dubreuil, I'm 29y old. I'm a financial advisor with my own business.
My first language is french so... let's be indulgent all together!!! Also, Canadian Football Rules are VERY different than International rule (hey, we invented the damn sport so once again. be indulgent!!!) We play 12v12, no fair catch, receivers can motion forward, etc. etc... So it's a fun challenge to adapt.
I played ice hockey and football at the intercollegiate level (Sherbrooke University). I ref hockey then stopped to focus on football. I've been officating football for 10 years. Also coach at different level and won Flagfootball Junior National Championship as a coach.
I have ONE WIFE (like Aki and Yoshi, but not the same one!!). Actually we're not married yet. We live downtown Montreal. I love to travel also.
Even though officiating is serious, I love to have fun, joke, and I enjoy the camaradery. I'm very very eager to see you all and make new friends. I like to learn about other culture. I extended my trips another 2 weeks to visit China.
See you soon!
p.s. @paul : Let's make sure we have a deck of cards or other games!

I'll have to seek out some good travel games Larry. Not my strong suit. Thinking love letter and tiny epic series if you've heard of those.
