    1. Jay,

      You didn’t mention that you were also an avid comic book reader/collector as a kid, loved visiting your grandparents’ farm in Saskatchewan, have a wicked sense of humour, big heart and love to cycle!

    2. Always hook up with Jay when in back Edmonton. He’s part of the music scene, and he always knows the best hole-in-the-wall (…great but unknown…) eateries around E-Town.
