Happy Friday!

It is Friday again! Here is this week's edition of Happy Friday!

I don't think we will be doing any boating this weekend as our Black Lab, Chukar went in for his LAST heartworm shot today and is coming home tomorrow at noon, and we have to keep him calm and quiet! Blake our yellow lab just successfully completed his treatment, now poor Chukar. When we adopted both of these boys from a rescue group in North Carolina, Blake had tested positive for heartworm while Chukar didn't, that is it can take up to 6 months for the worms to show their presence, and they did. So yes, we are good dog owners and they don't have heartworm from while under our control. Let's not forgot to the VI dog owners, please have your pups on heartworm preventative!

Sunday we may sneak out to our new favorite place to watch football! Shenanigans at Megan's Point Resort. Have a little brunch next door at Simply Italian, which has the best $12 bottomless bloody marys and then to watch some football? Shenanigans has $2.50 Coors Lights and they are ice cold, flat screen TV's scratchcards when you buy a Coors Light, good bar food and fun people and staff! This place reminds me of The Caribbean Saloon and what it used to be 2 years ago.  https://www.facebook.com/shenaniganssportsbar

As I watch the news down here and look on Facebook, I see many of you are having signs of Winter with some having snow and lots of complaining about the cold? Do me a favor, send some of that down our way? We have had such a hot Summer and it is still not over yet with each day hitting 90 and when I go to bed 82 with no trade wind breezes. So yes, you may be cold, but I am still sweating! If it gets too cold, come on down for a visit?

Have a good weekend, Go JETS and I leave you with a picture of Megans Bay from Drake's seat taken today!

Football in the Virgin Islands!

So you are thinking that if you move to the Virgin Islands, your favorite season, football, will be missed? That is not the case! As the NFL gets ready for the first Sunday of the season there are plenty of options for you here!

At home I get Dish TV just as if I were in the states. Only added benefit is that I can get the major network feeds from NYC and San Francisco in addition to the 4 networks I get out of Puerto Rico's local networks. That sometimes gives me 3 different games on at anytime! I also get all of the ESPN channels, CBS Sports Network, Fox Sports Network and PAC 12 Network, perfect for watching college ball and my very own Colorado Buffaloes!

Fantasy football? I belong to a league here.

Sports bars to watch the game with friends and strangers? Check, have that covered with some great sports bars, we  have Hooters by Havensight where the cruise ships come in. Their A/C is probably the best! There is Shipwreck right down the street. In Red Hook, Island Time Pub has two TV's and you can watch the game while watching the boats in the Marina or head to the other side of the complex and there is Molly Mallone's with TV's and specials.

We also have other establishments that do football specials, one of my favorites being Island Time Pub in Red Hook has 2-4-1 pizzas during Monday Night Football and our very own Beer Club is doing specials too!

So don't let Football be an excuse not  to come to the Virgin Islands, and besides come December there is no need for you to bring your football hoody here, it will still be warm, like a Super Bowl party that is an indoor/outdoor party with shorts to boot! 

Enjoy the first Sunday 2013, I know we will rooting for our sad excuse of a team! 

Update 9-29-13: Caribbean Saloon: We have tried for a few weekends to go here but have been overall dissapointed. This a few years ago used to be the go to place with great A/C and food. Not anymore, it is cooler outside, food is not so great and even if you have many fans there to watch their favorite team, they tell you, "sorry we put on the game on the big screen with sound to whichever team has the most fans" which is not always true....
