I was trying to get Jamie to come skiing with me. He mentioned it often, but he wasn’t committing to go. I had a meeting at the CACL, which is, in combination with the Legion, a powerhouse in Antigonish. My buddy Jeff who works there told me Jamie wouldn’t ski with me because he had to work. An incredible commitment to the people he works with. He wouldn’t ski with me, because no one else had the chance. I knew the only way he’d go, is everybody went. We closed shop, and 12 of us skied or snowboarded, some for the first time. Any business that has a participant from the CACL knows that impact it has on all of us. Our business is better, he puts us all in a better spot, and let’s face it, the our crew doesn’t enjoy my hugs. If you have a business and want even just a couple hours a week of help, let me or anyone at work know. Or just grab a coffee at the cafe at the CACL and ask someone about the possibility of work placement. You never know, you may end up playing hooky and skiing the day away!
