Dawn & Nelson-Snowbirds

This is the travel diary of our "snowbird" winter in Arizona. We'll try our best to update this every day along to keep our friends and family updated on our lives.

Nelson

Another day in the sun. Sorry to all of our friends back in the cold, but it's overwhelming how wonderful the nice weather is. The best part is, while we're here in Southern California, we're far enough away from the big city of LA and all of its traffic that it's like we're in a great small city like Vancouver, Wash.

The difference here is we can play golf on December 14. Who's doing that back home? If anyone is, I want to know how many layers of clothing you're wearing...and why you're crazy enough to go out and play golf when the temps are in the 40s.

I bring up golf, because that's what we did today. The little golf course next door is just about perfect. It's an executive course which isn't so short that you can't get out the big dog and let it eat, in fact there are about four holes where I can hit my driver...which is actually my favorite club. I didn't play great today, but at least I didn't hit myself with a club again. Besides, the most important part was that we had fun. It was only Dawn's second time on a golf course, and she did great! Plenty of really good shots, and best of all we found out she's a really good putter.

Still working on stuff for my really cool new website, but I'm just about done with that. I'm also still waiting to hear back from the folks who I interviewed with on Monday, but I'm starting to lose hope. :(

If anyone's got leads or ideas for new business for my company, please don't hesitate to send them along. I'm still really hoping to make this thing grow into my new career.

Anyway, thanks to Ron Hartley for all the great jokes he keeps forwarding along to me. They're hilarious, and I'm sure that Jim Bakke is appreciative to receive them when I forward them to him, too.

Hey Troy!
Golf clubs are also good for hydros in severe cases of frustration with the sport. ;)

Who is frustrated with the sport of hydros. You got your boat to run at the last race. It takes time just like being a great golfer. Anyway when I went to Seattle on Wed the pond at Ellensburg was frozen over. Your lounching of your boat would have gone farther on it then the normal.LOL. Anyway have fun in the sun.
