What's on our minds: Beer Shower

Beer Shower

I had just gotten back from the lake, and one of the longest, most demanding fitness swims I've ever put in. It was 90 degrees out. I had downed my herbal water, and a glass of iced tea. But I wanted a beer. And I needed a shower. So, I thought, I'll just have a beer in the shower! Now, I haven't had a beer in the shower since my college days, installment 1, and the proper adult angel on my shoulder told me that was silly, and I might knock it over, or get shampoo in it. But guess what? I did it anyway. And it was fun! This is what life is about, doing those little harmless, silly things. If we live our whole lives according to some practical, proper, narrow little adult path, we miss out on a lot of what life is really about. Life's too short for us to not be a little impulsive and silly. So go ahead! Have a beer in the shower! Or the next time you're jumping rope for fitness, go ahead and chant, "Cinderella/dressed in yella/went upstairs to kiss her fella./Made a mistake and kissed a snake./How many doctors did it take?/1,2,3,4..." I guarantee it will be more fun, and you might even jump more.
