M got a hold of some Canadian pennies in mint condition. A store had some left over that they had gotten from the bank. So we will put these away for posterity.

My son K goes swimming sometimes at a friend's condo pool. He has met this young Russian man there from time to time and they will chat in the hot tub. The young man told him he works in construction. He came to Canada at age 17 on his own, speaking no English. He is now 23 and bought his own condo in the building. He says 'it's just a one bedroom but it's enough for me right now'. They talk about girls and he feels his heavy Russian accent holds him back. In fact K is amused to see him approach the girls asking in vain for their number. K says he is good looking except for some large tattoos! I am impressed by what this young man has accomplished so far, I'm sure he will do well in life. Apparently he had to forgo any further schooling as he had no time for it.
