Yo! Yo! YO! Everyone Happy weekday all around!
I pray that everyone had a great Christmas and that your New Years Celebration will be Historic but safe!
As I continue to play catch up I realized that I forgot to tell you all about Thanksgiving. After the America Cup Races in Calgary we drove back down to Park City for Thanksgiving. I regret that I can not tell you about the conversations in the 14hr car ride from Calgary to Park City but it was five Manly Men in a extended cab Suburban talking so I am pretty sure you can imagine how the convo went. However we did hook up my computer to the power outlet and played movies most of the time, which mad the trip seem a lot shorter.
The original plan for coming back down to Park City was to get additional training on the track out there while waiting for World Cup to begin in Calgary a week later. Unfortunately for some odd reason there was only paid training available even for USA athletes, not really wanting pay to play we opted to only workout that week. I used it as a prep week for the World Cup Race in Calgary the following week. In my opinion this actually worked out better since it allowed me to give my body a little more rest.
Being that it was Thanksgiving week the girls on the team thought it would be a good ideal to have team Thanksgiving Dinner. They also decided to have at the Condo we were staying at as opposed to their smaller hotel rooms. They then decided that they would cook the turkey along with the majority of the other food. Yeah our girls are pretty decisive, nothing wrong with that because everyone loves a go getter!!! And easy there people! Yes the guys cooked some stuff we made Mixed Greens, Rolls, green bean casserole, and we brought the egg nog and wine as well. Overall the spread was pretty good, surprisingly to us the girls well actually Elana did a great Job on cooking the turkey. Megan's Mom sent a ton of Thanksgiving Day decorations up from Atlanta. The decorations included lil cartoon Indian/pilgrim cut outs, turkey cut outs, turkey designed candles, turkey napkins, Turkey and pumpkin confetti, it was pretty Epic!!! The pictures will be up posted on my web page www.jessebeckom3.com on my media page.
Megan's mom also sent us an 10 boxes of crayon with a turkey picture we could color. I am not sure if it was the wine that made the ideal of coloring a turkey fun or not, well actually I was not drinking so I have no excuse! lol Now like most things coloring the turkey becomes a contest to see who has the best turkey!! Ridiculous I know but everything is a competition. After dinner you have about 10 bobsledders men and women combined sitting here feverishly coloring a turkey picture. We are all sitting there joking and chatting and most people are coloring the clothes on their turkey a solid color so I say out loud just as clear as day that I am going to color my turkey clothes ti-dye! Now everyone at the table heard me and wouldn't you know it that the Camron the guy sitting next to me starts to color the clothes on his turkey ti-dye! I was thinking "Is Jesse Beckom going to have to choke somebody" now this guys lies about every little thing in the world and re-tales stories that he was never a part of then inserting himself into the story! These reasons made me more annoyed than normal with the situation. So I question him on his choice of colors for his turkey's clothes and he says "well I just decided to do something different" and I respond "You did not just hear me say that I was going to do that?" he says "No" I respond "Really Dawg!? Really!? I mean you are sitting right next to me when I said it, everyone else heard me and you did not!?" he replies "No I was talking to someone else and not paying attention when you were talking!" I told him "Well your sub conscious must have been listening because you are coloring you turkey the way I said I was going to color mine!" Yes, Yes I know I am 33yrs old, and this should not be a big deal but at this point its just the principal that I have been listening to this guy tell lie after lie for the past two months and I am fed up with it! By this time my teammates are laughing at us both because they know how much this guy lies and they see me getting visibly pissed! lol The banter continues until we are done coloring. We are lining up the pictures side by side to compare then all of a sudden the picture that Camron colored strangely spontaneously combusted!!!! Yeah I know it was so strange, we were all surprised!! And spontaneously combust I mean I may or may not have held it over the stove, lit it on fire, let it burn till only half the body and head was left. Then I may or may not have written " I WILL NOT STEAL IDEALS" in the top corner of the picture! lol By this time everyone is dying laughing and looking in disbelief!! Some may say I over reacted I say I REALLY DON'T CARE ITS ABOUT PRINCIPAL!! I KEEPS IT REAL!!! LOL
And that was Thanksgiving!!! I can't wait for New Years!
God Bless
Jesse
