Olympics

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

The Olympics start in 2 days and I fear I will miss a lot of the action this year due to work. I have watched every Olympics since 1968. I have not missed much in that time I used to video tape the days action and then watch it later on. I do not have a recorder at this time so that is not an option, I wish they had it on demand so I could watch it later on. I keep up with the results in the newspaper and online so I at least know who wins and what is going on while I am working. A lot of great performances will be missed by me this year and it makes me very sad.

Cubs game

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Every year we make a trip to Chicago to see the Chicago Cubs play my team the St Louis Cards, and this year we are going to do something very different. We are going to watch the game from the Wrigley Field Rooftop Club, it is located right outside the walls of Wrigley Field and the view is great. Cubs roof top games are fun and exciting, I can not wait to see my first game from the roof top outside of Wrigley Field, I have been inside Wrigley Field for games, and that is very exciting in its own right, but watching a game from the roof top is going to be a blast.

Wrigley Field Rooftop Club is located right down the right field line and only 454 feet from home plate, it is closer than any of the other rooftops that have seats at Wrigley Field. What is more amazing is that it is closer than some of the seats inside the stadium. This trip is going to be so much fun I can not wait for my Cardinals to beat the Cubs and I will be right there to enjoy it.

The food they offer on the rooftop is fantastic and that is going to add to the party. Good food, beer and most of all great baseball. This is going to be my kinda trip. Next year we might bring a big group to enjoy this view with us.

Dads new hobby

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

My father has taken up a new hobby, online backgammon. He is totally hooked and plays for hours. The sites he used to learn how to play backgammon are pretty inclusive sites that have so very much information.

My dad has not had a lot of hobbies in his lifetime and the fact that he is so totally hooked by Backgammon online is so very amazing to me and my sisters. I have started playing with Dad online and I find it very relaxing to have fun with your dad and be across the country from each other.

Golf in Vegas

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

On my summer trip to Las Vegas I am going to play a lot of golf. I play as often as I can here in Nashville but the big time courses in Las Vegas are what I want to be able to play.

I try to get away for a Las Vegas Golf Vacations once every couple of years, and it is the trip of the year as far as I am concerned.

LasVegasGolfAdventures.com has the lowest prices for Las Vegas Golf packages. All of their packages are priced to include hotel accommodations and golf at the course of your choice, not a bad deal at all. I can not wait to get to Las Vegas and play some great golf.

Get your group together and head to Las Vegas for some fun gold courses.

Winter fun

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

Every winter I go to the mountains of North Carolina and ski and ride snowmobiles, this year I have decided to add a snowboard to my winter fun gear. I looked around to find the very best snowboard available and what I found was very exciting. Burton snowboards are the very top of the class and that is the route that I want to go with my snowboards.

Christy Sports is by far the leader in snowboards and other winter equipment and the best thing is the are having a sale right now on the gear we need for our winter adventures. Check out their web site at http://store.christysports.com to get your Burton snowboard or any of the other great items in their inventory.
