All Over The Place
I can’t tell you how many people have told me that I would be bored once I retired. Well… it hasn’t happenned yet! I went back to Sioux City for a few days to sell my house, and then on to California. First, I stopped off to spend a few days with my 95 year old grandmother. She’s a paragon of energy and health. We all could learn something from her. I also saw my father’s sister, Shirley. After that, I hopped on a Southwest flight to Las Vegas, where I saw the most awesome fight, Delahoya vs Quarte. By the time I left, I also had one $4500 on the blackjack tables, and the hotel comp’d my room and my meals!
After that, I popped in San Diego for another meeting with Ted to propose an idea for a new type of company. I think he liked it. Then, I ran into Tommy’s parents vacationing in Del Mar. I hung out in Irvine for a few days, mostly visiting with old friends. And back to Sioux City to wrap up personal effects. Then, good ole RJ came down to Myrtle Beach for a week. We played golf every day, and RJ played 36 on most days. We also wrote a very special song! Maybe, RJ will let me put it up on my home page one day. It’s kind of an Aerosmith style song. Anyways, pretty busy month, I would say.
- Tom and Kim in a swanky New York Asian restaurant. Don’t ask how much the bill was!
- The waiter didn’t take a very good shot, but an interesting photo nevertheless.
- Grandma, Aunt Shirley, and I walked over the new Getty museum in LA.
- Then a nice Chinese meal, by Shirley’s house.
- The arena erupted when they announced Delahoya’s split decision.
- The west coast weather seems to agree with Earl and Joanne Grueskin.
- I think Bart and Duffy are more focused on their beers than my business plan.
- Suresh and I discussed my business plan and the future of digital cameras.
- On RJ’s last day, I wonder whether he’s thinking of his 160 holes of golf, or our new hit song.
