This will be a relatively quick entry as time has slid away from me this evening and I promised Darla I would meet her on the couch to watch some TV and relax tonight at nine.
I played golf this morning in our Club Championship, got home at 2:30 PM and sat on the pool with a book for about two hours and then came in and watched the Dallas Cowboy game on TIVO. Jennifer called in the middle of my pool time and wanted to talk about the Cowboy game and Darla wouldn't let her talk to me. I just got off the phone with her a few minutes ago. Things are going well for them in Vegas. Darla taught Samantha to clap while we were there and now she claps during her TV shows and when one of her favorite songs comes on. The kids go to bed early as Jen is up at 4:15 and out the door after 4:30. John leaves at a little after 5:00, so Samantha is usually up at 4:30 and gets her breakfast and is off to daycare. Jenn picks her up by 3:00 PM and then they start the whole process over again. Sam is in bed by 8:00 PM and Jen and John go to bed at 9:00 PM. Jennifer's Mom, Diane, will be in Vegas this coming weekend and will see Jenn and Samantha.
My golf today was just as normal as ever. The match was very good, close and exciting and I lost on the 18th hole when my opponent sunk a twisting thirty foot downhill putt and I missed my 15 footer to tie. I shot 84 and he shot 82. My practice round on Saturday was an 83 and I'm kind of stuck in a rut. My handicap is 11, I missed the Rose Cup team and I didn't even win one match in the Club Championship, so my golf year is a bogey as my goals were not met. I'm going to slow down a bit on golf soon, but play Wednesday, next Saturday in the consolation matches, and then three days the following week in the Sarrono Invitational with one of my agents here in town. Then, I'm off to Bandon Dunes, Oregon for three days at the end of September and will return to play the new Troon course, Yocha-Dee-Hee on October 11th. I'm getting tired just writing it.
I will be in SF on Tuesday as our CEO is coming in to town and asked me and the VP who works out of my office to come in. They are all having lunch with one of the brokerage markets that I do not represent, so I've been allowed to skip the lunch. David and Daniel will be in town staying with their Dad at the Fairmont while he is at a seminar. They are free for lunch, so I will take them to one of the SF restaurants (The Tadich grill or Bob's Steakhouse). I should take them to Clown Alley, the hamburger restaurant that Dad took us kids to 40 years ago. It's still there across from the red light district on Broadway. We'll see.
Well, Darla awaits. The boys are off to Cal Poly next weekend to start school and Darla is going down to see them off. I'll be batching it over the weekend. Sounds like a good time for Poker and Golf. (It always sounds like a good time for poker and Golf, though). Ciao.
