New Year's Eve Golf

Happy New Tradition...

Finish the old year with a round of Golf!

Thanks to my brother Carl for calling and suggesting this. What a terrific day on the green park with all those silly flags. We took a LONG WALK out in the green and lush Los Angeles countryside. (Uptown)

It was great. Those greens at the country club are killer even with the help of a caddy to give you a read. After playing all the city public courses your not ready for the FAST roll on the really professionally maintained private courses.

But it was fun. And I got my buddy Jeffery to tag along with us. It was a good Guys Day Out for me. Good for the heart and soul.

No wonder Trisha's brother is always out playing golf. Over Christmas I heard about how he plays 27 holes of golf 3 to 5 days a week or more!

Thank you Carl. Thanks for your company Jeff.

Loved the day with both of you.

A very 'In-laws' Christmas

Ho ho ho

We had a good time. Mostly with my wife's side of the family.
It was a good simple homestead Christmas filled with helpful hands of Trisha's brother and sister. This made Trish very happy. It was good and warm hearted.

Thomas got the item he really wanted from Santa. How that happened I do not know. ;-)



We all got to share some grins and basically had plenty of good meals at the family dinning table. Very pleasant.

Hope you all found the joy this holiday.

Fox on the Golf Course.

I played a little golf yesterday at Penmar. It is a local City of LA 9 hole course.



We were very pleasantly surprised to see a fox sitting by the first green. He successfully staked out a squirrel hole. Very cool that such wildlife is able to thrive in the city.

BTW a special Thank You, shout out to my buddy Jeffery, who called and got me to come out and play. We had some fun and it got me out of a dreadful funk from work and stresses of the holidays etc.

And at the end of it we went to see the new movie Avatar on the big 3D IMax screen. Thomas and I loved it. Jeffery thinks it will be a big cultural event like Titanic was not so long ago. Or a big event like "Gone with the Wind" when it gets to the Oscars etc.

Happy Holidays

Here in our area we have some cool holiday traditions. There is a Boat Parade out in the Marina Del Rey harbor that is fun. But at night hard to get a lot of good photos. It was cold and raining. And Trish and I were a little under the weather ourselves. So we missed it. Our friend were out in it and won some nice prizes. congrats to Keith Guyot and the "La Vouca Reys".(sp?)

In Venice on the canals there is a similar parade but on the smaller scale boats.

Here are some photos to share. ( Thanks to YoVenice.com )

Bla bla bla - stuff this past 2 weeks

Have not been out on the boat since Thanksgiving day.

I did get the first strand of the Xmas lights up. (last weekend)
We did get a Tree and have it ready to bring into the house.
Thomas did have a Flag Football playoff game. (Thurs)
MDRAnglers did have it's holiday party and meeting. (Weds)

MDRA was interesting. I did win the raffle. I was elected to the Board of Directors of the club. Now I am struggling with whether or not to toss my hat in the ring for the president position.

Enough about that... I need to stop and get back to work.
