I was on a cruise in Alaska with this character Rick Novell. He is a unicycle monster and action energy comedic entertainer who started as a busker in Baltimore.

Have you ever met someone and just felt like you knew them forever. This is how I think everyone feels when they met Rick. He and I are very well suited and I believe we will now always think of one another as close friends. When you are around Rick Novell there is a magical feeling of calm you get from his genuine nature. Then there is the inspiration you get from his massive energy store. He can’t sit still for very long without getting out a frisbee or unicycle or just storming off to go walk off his youthful exuberance so he can function as a normal adult later. So I was very pleased that he took the time to talk about life, entertainment, driftwood, and church real estate with me.

Maybe my favorite part of the man is his creative endeavors outside of entertainment. He lives in a playland that he created and collect driftwood to build furniture and art.

I will let him tell you the rest. Thank you rick for what I believe will be a lifelong friendship.
