Popcorn & A Movie Day

Dusty Outside View

Yesterday afternoon I stroked the golf ball around the compound a few times in beautiful warm sunshine. Even though I was alone & I didn't shoot particularly well, it was so nice outside, I played until sunset. The warmth reminded me of Spring trying to ward off the last winter days of cold back in the Midwest. I had so much fun I called my buddy Allen and arranged to play the next day.

Today I woke up to a shroud of thick choking dust. We have been having too many days of this junk. Just like the Midwest in Spring, here in the desert we seem to get one day you can only truthfully call glorious followed by a day where you dare not think about going outside for fear of damaging your health. I guess it is time to get out the DVDs and pop some popcorn.

Where Have I Been, You Ask???

I imagine some of you may have wondered where I have been for the last six months. Well........I've been living the life.

The year 2007 for my family held some of the best and worst times a family can have. We had the best of times vacationing a couple weeks in Belize, then for the rest of June we were touring Rome, Naples, Athens and the classic archaeological sites in Greece and Turkey while sailing around the Aegean Sea. Our high was quickly followed by the lowest of lows when we lost my mother to cancer a mere two months later. Words cannot describe how much we will miss her.
