What Cheer, Netop?

What Cheer, Netop?
Photo-A-Day #1555

Today was the second annual Roger Williams Paddle. I went out with members of the Ten Mile River Watershed Council, The AMC, and the Rhode Island Blueways Alliance. My friend (Netop) Keith Gonsalves is one of the driving forces for this paddle and he invited me to go last year. I had such a good time, and he must have liked my video last time, that I decided to go again. The paddling was fantastic and the weather couldn’t have been better. I have a ton of photos and video from today that I want to get put together to show you and I will do so very soon. But for now I have to sleep. You can check out all my updates from the day via Twitter and Zannel. Also you can see some of my past adventures with Keith in my Wired Kayaker videos. You can find them on the sidebar. I’ll have the rest of the photos and video up asap. Here is one more that I took using my Xshot. I loved having the Xshot with me on this trip, I used it as often as I possibly could.

BTW: What Cheer, Netop? is probably the equivalent of What’s Up, Friend? What cheer is short for “What cheerie news do you bring?” Netop is the Narragansett word for friend. This was the greeting that Roger Williams hollered to a group of Narragansett over by what is Gano street today. When I got out of my car and saw Keith I hollered over to him, “What Cheer, Netop?” He got a kick out of it.

Win One of Five Blu Prizes!

You have heard me talk about BluFrog Wildly Healthy Energy Drink before on this blog. Heck I even won a case of it from Martha Decker and received a case for Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs from Jeremy Kendall, fine people who are BluFrog distributors. I first heard about BluFrog through my friend Heather, she had connected with Jeremy and through Heather we got to talking about the drink. I was really clamoring to try some because it is filled with great vitamins and it has the same caffeine as a cup of coffee and less sugar than other energy drinks.

Well, I got my chance to try it when I won a case. I drank it for a few weeks and all the while I monitored my blood sugar. I’m a type II diabetic and sugar and I are not the best of friends. I am not a doctor so I won’t tell you what the numbers were but let’s just say that I’d be happy drinking BluFrog as part of my diet. I also loved how it prevented me from the head-tilt-neck-jerk-sleepy-time-reflex that I get when I go into meetings. I was pumped and ready to listen to the most boring stuff you could throw at me. I could take it! For me it is the simple things.
