I know him by many names. Tay. Tayota. Table hockey. Taylord. Tailbrake. Taylien Taste Test and the Tutonic Plague. Declyn Exploding-Mountains.

He is a good man and a kind soul. Here are some weird, but true, facts about the Taylord.

• He doesn’t play hockey, like me, but loves to talk hockey, like me.

• I can fit my fist in his mouth.

• He once let me borrow a falcon.

• He directed and co-produced a play I wrote called Book On Tape. Still one of my most favourite things I’ve ever done. I will love him forever for helping me make it.

• He knows his way around poop (scat).

• He has the patience of a saint.

• He is hilarious (proof below).
