A day at work in the Bahamas

From Bill:

To Do List: Sharpen Spears, climb coconut tree.



I don’t know what your day has been like today, but mine has been strikingly different than when I was in the corporate world. This came to me as I sat in the cockpit of our sailboat sharpening my spears with a file. I guess in sales, you could draw some analogies couldn’t you? But, it’s a lot more fun to really be sharpening real spears. If you ever want to get over some stress, try sharpening a spear. It's a very satisfying feeling. I guess it goes back to our pimal instincts or something.

I had to sharpen the spears because I had bounced them off of a rock or two while shooting at this one very talented fish. I’m thinking I should film him for lessons for Laura’s dodge ball team. I hope that I see him again.

Besides sharpening spears, I have also climbed coconut trees. In my younger days, I could do this to the top of the highest tree. Now, at my age, I probably don’t bounce as well when I hit the ground, so in this picture, I went no higher. (Hurry up with the picture Elaine!)

So, I can check these two big items off my to do list, sit back, relax with a cold beer, and think about tomorrows big tasks. Maybe I'll fix a flip flop, or polish a little stainless steel.
