Long Time No Blog

Sorry people. I know it has been a long time since I posted. I went down to the San Diego area for a few days to visit with relatives. I saw my Grandparents (Pop and Nan), Aunt Beverly, Cousin Lonny, Brian, and Mitch. I also stopped in L.A. on the way back to see my Uncle Mike and Jim. Everyone was so supportive of my decision to join the Peace Corps. It is nice to know that even though I will be so far away, I will have a base of people that are all pulling for me. I will do my best to make you all proud and stay in contact as much as possible.

I also played some golf. Here is a story of how my typical golf game goes. It was a short, uphill, par three hole and I teed off first. My shot was a little left of the green, but not a bad shot. I figured I would be able to chip on, three put, and take a five for the hole. After the next golfer in my group teed off, I noticed a ball rolling toward us on the cart path. Another golfer tees off and the ball is still rolling toward us, bumping along down the cart path from left to right like a bowling ball rolled down a lane with bumpers in the gutters. I thought "huhh, that's funny, someone in the group ahead of us must have dropped a ball." The final golfer in our group teed off and I began to wonder if the mysterious ball could possibly be mine. Sure enough, it was mine. My ball had rolled 150 yards backwards down the hill and ended up right next to where I had originally teed off. That was my first 300 yard drive. God I'm good!
