Hi everyone,
Just saying hello after taking some time away, we had a close friend pass away and combined with some other issues me and Tami felt it was time to get away and blow off some steam.
We hit several places including a trip to California (ya, me, in California, go figure, lol) to see my son who is stationed there in the Marines. I don't know if I told you guys he got married or not, but he is and they have a small appartment off the base. When we were on the way there I remember talking with Tami about our own first appartments and such and all the interesting things we did, for example in my first appartment we had snagged one of those big wooden spools the electric company uses and covered it with carpet and used it for a coffee table
So we had a lot of fun guessing what kinds of things we would find in David's appartment.....and we were very surprised. He had been hitting yard sales and consignment stores and actually had a very nice appartment, imagine that, lol.
We came in at LA and had taken a suite there and had the kids come stay with us for a weekend, then Tami and his wife Julie spent a few days during the week doing "girl" stuff while I took a chance to meet with some business partners of our company (David could not get off during the day) and play some golf, we hit three different courses but I could not say if I liked Brentwood or Bel Air the best. I hit one public course too, Griffith Park, and I have to say for a public course, it was incredible.
We had a great time and took time to reflect on our friend's life several times during the trip, he was a good man and it is never easy to watch a close friend and good person pass away especially when he was not very old, 54.
Goes to my normal sig, no matter how hard you try, you can't beat time, you can't control your death, but you can control your life.
I hope everyone is doing well here.
