The Night they Found the Bead

It was just like any other night they found the bead. “I found the bead” I exclaimed with excitement as I removed it from the hot tub water and shoved it in my friend Jimmy’s face so he could see the bead that he has seen a million times before. There’s something about finding the bead that makes you feel like you’ve never seen the bead before. Its quite the game. I believe it started in 2010. It’s a bead that precariously floats in our favorite hot tub. It belonged to a bikini, but fell off one night (one good night) and has since become “The Bead”. Those that know pay homage.

I’m not sure if it’s the beer, the company, or the timing of how the two come together, but I am super productive when in the hot tub. I’ve helped people through relationship issues, career changes, Fantasy Sports strategies, home reno’s. You name it. It’s been solved or created in the tub. But NOTHING beats the idea we had last night….. We’ll save that for another time.

Tomorrow is a HUGE day. The Gander Golf Club opens and I am totally pumped. The forecast is looking terrible, but that will not stop me tomorrow. If I freeze on the course I will be completing 18 holes no matter what.

Its also Friday of the May 2-4 weekend, a NL tradition that exists all across Canada but people here like to think we invented it, or at least mastered it. Certainly there will be some get togethers / parties to rival on our beautiful island east of the Gulf but our weather will not make anyone envious. I actually heard the word snow. Wow. How unique are we? Really? (that’s positive, right?).

My plans for the weekend? Stay dry. No seriously, stay dry. I am in a fun little Fitness Challenge over the next 8 weeks and you get bonus points for staying sober. The Mission: Get in great shape this summer and keep the late night, calorie stacking, carb loading, terrible morning creating nights to a minimum. There will be some ‘times’ for sure. But the more day light I see this summer, the better. The prize: Too sweet to tell you. But trust me, it will be worth it ;). My goal: besides beating my challenger, run the Tely 10 in less than 70 mins and have as many productive weekends as possible. It’s all about positive procreation son ! That’s why I am here man.

So the blog, activities, and idea creating are all happening at different speeds. We’ve heard some people say “I’ll add to the blog” all are welcome of course. The network of fun times, sharing, and producing has begun. The outlook: Positive.

Here in the clear,
