In conjunction with Dave's 2010 Bum Tour, The Time is Now Tour seeks participant hosts to become part of a documented "trail of accomplishments." Invite Dave to visit, and then it's time to take action! As you--and possibly your spouse, significant other, family member, or friend--set about your undertaking, I'll join along as either an observer or participant. All experiences will be captured in writing and collected for future publication. Some experiences will be captured in pictures and/or video, also for possible publication.

You've got something you've been wanting to do or try, right? Maybe it's something grand like bungee jumping, sky diving, or white water rafting. Maybe it's something a little less extreme like visiting a museum or hiking a trail. It's even possible that you've just been wanting to try out a new (or new-to-you) restaurant or cook a new dish at home. However grand the idea, Dave is saying the time is now!

If you would like to be a part of this fantastic trail of accomplishments, just contact me and include your idea and the location.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Dave's "The Time is Now" Tour will not be providing any funding toward your endeavor, but Dave will pay his own way as a participant wherever applicable. Hosting expectations are outlined in Dave's 2010 Bum Tour "note" on Facebook, or contact Dave directly for details.

Following the Tour

As dates and locations are added to the tour, they will be posted to this calendar. Blog posts will periodically chronicle tour stops and adventures. Go to August 2010 to see the current schedule.

Higgins Lake (August 6-7)


I arrived at the Hickey Cottage on Higgins Lake the afternoon of Friday, August 6. Jamie & Chris were both still at work, so Jamie's parents chatted with me along with Jamie & Chris's daughter, Katherine. Katherine was very excited to see me, so excited that she made signs, including this one:
"Welcome to the lake, Dave. Your friend, Katherine"
We had a great afternoon chatting about life, and it was loads of fun playing with Katherine. After Jamie and Chris arrived, we enjoyed a splendid spaghetti and meatball dinner along with some Bunk House Red wine from Douglass Valley Organic Vineyard. Jamie, Katherine, and I strolled around the community circle, and then Jamie and I enjoyed fellowship and Oberon Ale on the deck after the others retired to bed.

On Saturday morning, Jamie and I played 9 holes with her parents at Ye Olde Country Club; Jamie's mom whopped us, and my score need not be reported, but we had a great time. After golf, we relaxed at the house with snacks and lunch before going for a boat ride, followed by swimming & relaxing at the dock. I also kayaked, as did Katherine and Jamie. That evening was the annual community picnic, and I stuffed myself silly with wonderful foods from the neighborhood, including Katherine's rainbow cake! Later that evening, we visited our friends, Bill & Lisa [and family], at their cottage. We enjoyed a wonderful night around a campfire reminiscing, catching up, and enjoying a few laughs.

I departed the lake on Sunday morning, heading to Midland, MI. I neglected to take photos at the lake, but here are two Jamie took for me at the dock:
