Give thanks and praises to the most high first. Some of my co-workers and I did our annual cottage weekend just north of the town of Napanee in Ontario. you can Google the area or ask about it. I cant tell you much about the area besides the fact that its quiet and gets pretty cold during the fall season. Its a relatively quiet area except for when the coyotes howl after making a kill for the pack. Despite what the header says the area isn't known for its celebrity draw and of course Kevin Hart wasn't in the neighbor hood. I'll get back to that later on in this post.
We did what most guys do when away from girlfriends and wives, jabbed at each other talked about any and everything we could think of and sat around the fire drinking booze and figuring out where the coyotes were. It's a beautiful thing to get out in the country and just enjoy nature without the constant sights and sounds of the city and for city slickers like myself it puts me in a relax state of mind. I had my first ever roasted marshmallow around the fire. This stuff looks pretty cool in the movies and I am sure for kids this is probably a real treat but I wont be having it again, been there done that. Way too
much sugar for me and I am not a fan.
I noticed the guys were a bit more mature at the campfire and after a few beers on the first night everyone was looking restless and many eyes were starting to drop which is a good indication that sleep is calling. The guys worked pretty hard over a two week span so I wasn't really surprised by this as well. Saturday morning we all got up stretched and breathed in the country side knowing that the following morning will mean its time to go back to the city and the next time visiting will be a year from now. Sports is always the chosen thing to watch on the satellite and we watched some EPL and car racing. Sam made breakfast for everyone which consist of eggs, bread, Canadian beacon and turkey beacon. I always look forward to the constant jabs at my turkey beacon and the constant echoes of its not real beacon. Throughout the day we went fishing, drank beer, did some target practicing and played a strange game which one would fling a heavy ball across the yard while we get to follow it all over the yard with a ball of our own. By the way, the closest ball to the fling-ed ball wins or gets points. As time went on we did other things like played badminton, did some chin-ups and drank beer.
A this point I am sure you are waiting to hear how Kevin Hart got involved and crashed our cottage weekend in Napanee, I will get to that in a sec. This year I was asked to cook oxtail for our dinner and I did not disappoint. It was great food which no one spared. Many thanks to Bruno who also prepared some Portuguese style chicken which helped in making a tasty and filling dinner. OK, so its almost Kevin Hart time and after dinner we relaxed, stayed indoors and watched stand-up comedy all evening. The night was going well so when
the rains came its was Kevin Hart's time to entertain us. I am sure that Kevin is funny and many think that he is really funny but unfortunately I may be out of the loop. By the time his show was over all the guys were fast asleep knocked out on the chairs. I will take the blame for cooking an awesome oxtail and since the oxtail was quite delicious and after every good meal, most people may fall asleep. So excuse me Mr Hart if you ever actually read this blog I am just trying to be funny, with the headline. Some guys did blame Kevin by claiming they were waiting for the joke to come and it took too long.
It was an awesome weekend and I look forward to doing it again.
After a tense match which saw one red card and two awkward moments which eventually led to Barbados ambassadors of Canada losing in the finals of the Caribbean masters soccer league. Many thought this game was going to be a very tense one and indeed it did not disappoint. West Indies united had already wrapped up the league title but in the playoff finals many believed that Barbados had the momentum to win this one. After two harsh calls by the referee the game ended with a 1-0 lost that gave West Indies the championship. It was a disappointment to the fans and spectators who watched the game and many displayed their emotions to the referee who I am sure heard the boos from many watching the game. Barbados had a wonderful season which saw new players introduced and will improve for the following season. Hats off to Mark and team who showed discipline and good organization which led them to collect the "most discipline team award" it was an awesome season and was very entertaining to watch.
