Criminal Record Rejection!

I'm really struggling to accept this 'criminal record' rejection...especially given the strong connection between my criminal record and island living. You see I was transitioning to life on my island in Arizona the night I received my misdemeanor.

I couldn't spend the night on my island so I started to stay at Indian River Bend park in Scottsdale. I had barely rested my head on the cool park grass when bright headlights shone my direction. I considered quickly walking off park premises (perhaps avoiding this whole record/rejection/reading you're enjoying), yet chose to remain calm and allow the cops to tell me to go (I had no idea they'd tell me to go get a criminal record which would last a lifetime and create a great barrier to a reef island). Inconceivable!..yet as real as it gets.

Time to go forward, forgive & live! After all, life on our North American Island ain't bad.

A poor pear/pair!

'I feel sorry for whoever comes in here next' I announced as I left the mens room full of fumes (better the bathroom than the bus I was shuttling Goldman Sachs employees in). One pear had created quite a stench in my system & the surrounding air (which I had to clear a few times driving around empty with windows down & doors open before more passengers entered). What's worse? I discovered this allergic reaction to pears about 4 months ago! Thus it is air ap'pear'ent that pears & I make a poor pair.

H20 Therapy: Water we waitin' for?

Aaahhh...snow softly falling on my face as I float on my back is amazing! (Jumping in the snow & then the hot tub isn't bad either). H20 is a divine creation (especially in combined states) with peaceful, comforting...invigorating powers - Perfect!..after a day of skiing.

Thanks Snowbird!!!

Only drawback: While snow fails to stick to hot water, snow successfully sticks to canyon roads...thus prematurely ending our after-ski H20 Therapy--Rrrr!..'Do we have to go? Can't someone turn on the canyon road heater?! Not installed yet. Not a problem. I'm fine getting stranded up here!'

Recess at the Reef!

It is in!..(Finally). We filmed it, edited it, submitted it and it will soon be available for viewing via 'The Best Job In The World' Website.

In the meantime you can view a few versions of 'Recess' on my youtube site (Will add some higher quality soon--mostly used as a video viewing test before submission of under 90MB video).

Enjoy!

Recess in the Rockies for now,
Recess at the Reef in a few.

P.S. I'll let you know when it posts to www.islandreefjob.com
