good to hear from you, gary. w0w! has time sped by that quickly that mike
is driving already?! retirement sounds like a great idea! you'll no doubt
enjoy it immensely, aside from a clean house.<smile>
as for your golfing addiction withdrawls--you are not as bad off as the
connecticut golfers i used to watch when i was in the 8th grade in hartford
near trinity college. picture this: 1962; 20 degree, or less, weather;
grown men dressed like nanook of the north (looking like they are wearing 8
layers of clothing, like most of us kids who went to school, so that any
normal movement is reminiscent of color-clad pillsbury doughboys); thick
gloves on their hands, with finger tips exposed; breath vapors and heat
vapors rising from their faces, fogging the air of a bright clear day; them
awkwardly swinging golf clubs and trying to find where their drive landed in
6 inches of snow, all the while stomping their feet and slapping themselves,
as if they could feel anything through all that clothing, to stay warm.
serious golfing addicts, those connecticut golfers, for sure. and me, at
that age, i loved watching how funny it all was.<g>
enjoy football season, guy!<smile>

Hello fellow gimpsters and gimpettes,
It's been 12 days now since I've been able to play golf!! The courses are
still flooded in this area though the
water is slowly going down. Mid-season form is a thing of the past and I'll
be starting over getting my back
loose again. Leagues cancelled. Only have another month or two of playing
weather before cold becomes
an issue. What a mess!
On the brighter side, my house has never been cleaner. Rather play than
clean though. Been getting a lot
done at work. I guess because I'm actually there more often! :-)
Football season is started and will be working more weekends now 'till Dec.
doing games. Convocation Center
(can you say basketball arena) has decided to have engineering at all events
now. More extra work than I care to
have. Been thinking a lot about retiring. Will be maxed out on pension
benefits a year from Christmas and can
earn no further benefits.
Still read everyday and silently pray for all the people who are having
difficulties.
Arthurs been pretty kind to me lately unless I do something stupid like move
wrong.....
Mike has his license now and is driving my pick-up. Bought a $2000 runner
from a mechanic friend
who has it running like a top. '97 Cutlass Supreme. Things got bells and
whistles I haven't discovered yet.
Love that car.
I'd like to propose we petition Congress to establish "Arthritis Recess
Week" where we all get to have total
remission. And then arthritis month, and then arthritis year, decade,
century, millennium, eon,....
Love you guys one and all.
GaryZ
