One large step for Tim....



I did it.  After regretting not jumping at Rick's café the last time we were there, I made the plunge (literally) and jumped this year.  The jump is roughly 35 feet high.  It felt great.

As usual, we had a great trip to Jamaica with Mark & Cathy.  Highlights of the trip included the One Love pub crawl through Negril on Valentine's day, as well as an excursion to Rick's café for me, and to Time Square for Cheryl & Cathy to do some shopping.  The weather was great while we were away.  We had a couple of cloudy days and a bit of rain, but overall it was great.  We stayed at the Riu Negril this time, which was fine, but I still prefer the Bahia Principe and the Grand Paladium Lady Hamilton.  This resort was nice, but just wasn't up to the same level as the other 2.  The jerk chicken on the beach was amazing, as was the steakhouse.  Overall food quality was good.  We stayed in building 2 which was close to everything and was just a few steps to the beach and to the beach bar where we spent much of the trip. Overall, it was a pretty tame trip with everyone enjoying themselves and no one getting too crazy. 


Now that we are back to PEI, it is back to routine.  I got a main role in the play "All New People" being directed by Keir Malone.  I'm looking forward to the play as it is a step away from the typical plays that PEI produces.  It is 18+ with various drug and sex references.  I am having a great time with it, but I am also a little nervous as it is probably my biggest role with lots of lines to memorize before April 7. 




Embrace the inevitable adversity

This is a quote that I read a while back from Peter Rukavina and I love the the simplicity and succinctness of the four words.  Adversity is...
