IT'S BETTER IN THE BAHAMAS

My life could be worse.  I could be home in Baltimore freezing my butt off in the single digits in Baltimore but I'm not.  Currently I am on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.  I am here working (don't smirk) for a week. 

Yes, I have had a little play time while here  but the majority of the time I'm working.  I am staying at the Atlantis which is a cross between Vegas and Orlando except you're totally surrounded by water.  It is a big  playground and believe me people come from all over the world to check out this place. 

Regular folks like myself come here but it is also a big hang out for the celebrities.  Just this week we've seen Michael Jordon, Dr. J., Brad Pitt, Gabrielle Union and the list goes on.  After a while you realize they are just like you and me.  They are actually pretty normal, its their publicists that are the freaks. 

What I am always reminded of when I travel to these fancy schmancy resorts is don't let someone's level of fame or expertise intimidate you from being yourself or trying something new.  I'm not saying I would walk the runway with Gabrielle Union or play basketball with Michael Jordan but I would try and that's all I'm asking. 

So if you've been reading my blog thinking its entertaining (on certain days) but don't ride or own a bike yet.  It's time.  There are lots of 2008 WSD Trek bikes out there ready and waiting for you. Don't let anyone or anything intimidate you.  Get a bike and ride at your own speed, on your own time. We're all celebrities and are capable of anything, just believe!
