Hi folks,
Rock (patron) and Dave (barista) bringing our coffee shop back to life, and making new friends at Johnny's Gone Fishing.
Been busy today working to bring back a local coffee shop, hangout, and important pre and post-ride location for drinks, snacks and friendly chatter, Johnny’s Gone Fishing. Here are a couple of photos from today’s efforts, where we provided complementary bagels and coffee to our supporters and future customers, with promising and enjoyable results. As a research scientist and endurance athlete I think that I have tended to be a bit too focused or goal driven during my life (a friend, Arden James, called me monomaniacal, and he was right). Through this local business venture, I am now discovering the joys of more relaxed social activities, with the potential to contribute to the local community. A happy life is a balanced life! Learning new things from other people every day keeps your mind young and flexible, whilst complementing the frequent isolation of endurance training.
Complementary coffee and bagels, plus a warm fire, to thank local patrons and supporters of Johnny's Gone Fishing. Wonderful neighbors, great location, and it's going to be a thriving business and community center again soon.
As an athlete, social networking is a valuable skill if you want to learn from your peers, encourage others, find a good coach, or just enjoy the inter-personal aspects of Ironman races. In my experience, it has been interactions with other people, more than my performance, that have generated long-lasting and fond race-day memories.

You sure know how to live life!
I read a book recently that inspired me, and I thought of you a lot while reading it.
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller
Hi Benjamin,
I’ll see if I can download it to my Nook. OOOOPS! I was supposed to be in bed, but then I noticed you following me on Digg, and that took me here.
Goodnight.
