smelling it

I was lucky enough to be in the same residence as Dan at StFX and meet the guy within hours of getting there... what a start!   We've "smelt it" on hockey teams, business projects, road trips, and he's given me way too much hospitality in Calgary, but the story that will stand out for me is a bit more recent.  

We were in Nashville for Luke MacDonald's stag in early 2019 and everyone was fired up that Dan could make the trip... It had been a while since most of us had seen "the kid" and he had been through so much.  It was also Masters weekend and Tiger was working his way up the leaderboard.  We had a heavy duty first few nights and Dano kept up for every minute.   With nothing planned for Sunday and Tiger ready to make history, we made the smart call to stock up on supplies then get set up comfortably in our AirBnB for the final round.  

We all know what happened with Tiger and looking back it is fitting, 2 all-time greats bringing their best all weekend.   If you're on this site you've surely had some great hangouts with Dan... an absolute legend at "smelling it"!
