Ouch, so this the second time I am writing this.  I should have saved it as a draft.  Argh!

 

Anyhow, I really don't mind writing it again, I find it fun.  A little change from the ordinary for me.

 

This is a perfect example of Reciprocity, highlighted so well by TLW in her post Have You Considered Reciprocating Your Comments? Hmmm? ROAR! .  I was MEME'd by simply going to Ginger Wilcox's blog on AR and also outside AR, and gave her some comments.  Reciprocity at it's finest.  Thanks again Ginger for the MEME, it is an honor!

 

Here you go.  I hope you learn something about me, and if nothing else, hope you had fun reading it.

 

1.  I am an avid golfer.  It is my passion, though I don't get to play nearly enough.  3 times a year is not sufficient, but with my schedule, I am happy to enjoy that much.  It could be worse right?  I say I am an avid golfer.  I should say that I am an obsessed golfer.  Reason being, I think about it all the time.  The best example I can give is I think about it when I go to bed.  That's right.  If I can't sleep, I will think about my favorite golf course in Arnold, California, Sequoia Woods, and every shot I would take as I make my way through the course.  Seriously, I do this, and am asleep by the 5th hole 90% of the time!  I know every shot of this course, whether I play it right, is on me!

2. I have a little girl, who is 17 months old today!  Happy Birthday R.  I get to wake up every day to this little angel.  Anyone that has kids knows what I mean by this.  Waking up and seeing their smily face is the greatest part about being a parent.  I am new!  I can't wait to see what is to come.

 

3.  I love to drive.  Yes, love to drive.  I think this is a kind of weird for Meme, but it just came to me.  I can drive for hours and hours, listening to music, the radio, chatting with friends.  I love a good road trip!  Some of my favorite places are Santa Cruz, Arnold as mentioned above, Tahoe, the list can go on and on.  Just after college, some friends and I drove to Las Vegas, about a 10 hour drive, and worth every bit of it!

 

4. I have a bad habit of not finishing my housework.  My wife and I bought a home 2 years ago that needed a bunch of work.  We have done a lot, but there always seems to be little details that just aren't quite there.  I never seem to have the time to finish it perfectly like a professional would do.  But, I guess I am not a professional contractor, but that is one thing I am going to work on.  Finishing my house projects.  Fortunately that doesn't translate to work!

 

5.  For the second time in my life I got surprised for my Birthday!  Ok, my birthday was 4 months ago, so I can say I wasn't on guard, but I still got surprised.  30 by the way, not as bad as I thought.  About 1 month ago I got a call from one of my friends wives, who I am very good friends with as well, and she let me know that all of our college friends were going to get together for a little get together, because we hadn't all been together in a while.  Sounds good to me, not thinking anything of it.  I got to Pyramid Brew Company in Walnut Creek, and sure enough all 5 of us guys from college had been had.  Our wives had thrown a huge catered bash with DJ and all of our friends from college and even some from high school.  It was a great time, but I think I am still hung over.....Thanks to all of our wives, not for the hang over, but for a great party! 

 

 

So that is it.  My little explanation of who I am.  You can check out my blog for information about who I am as a business person, and get a little more about me personally there.  I guess now I have to MEME someone else, prepare, I am on the lookout.

Thanks for coming by Bruce.  It is so weird, that is my thing.  I think about golf.  I think it helps my game, I can visualize my swing.  I just wish I had more time to put it in action!

Jonathan, that party sounds like a blast. Nothing like getting together with old friends is there ? I go to Florida every year on a girls trip of friends have had for 25 years. It's like nothing has changed and it is refreshing, I look forward to it every year.

Jonathan...

Boy. We have a lot in common. I also enjoy long road trips.

On top of that I am really bad about finishing my around the house chores as well.

I think right now I must have 5 or 6 different projects that need me to get 'er done.

Okay. Now I am inspired to finish painting a wall.

P.S. Do you think the paint will still match if the first coat is a year old?? LOL.

TLW...ROAR!

You are welcome, Jonathan.  I enjoy your posts. Your little girl is darling.  I bet she is daddy's little girl!  I HATE driving- give me a plane, I don't like being in the car.  Finish your house projects- your wife will love you for it! (Believe me, I speak from personal experience).

Jonathan... this was cool....   I also love to drive at times. My longest trip was to Key West, 17 1/2 hours, which should have taken us about 20 hours?  And I drove the first 13 hours because I was psyched. 

I love golf also.... only been twice this year....hopefully a few times in September. And your girl is precious. I don't have kids, but I have a slight idea of what you are talking about because I have 4 nieces and nephews. Thanks for sharing this.

Missy,   Getting together with old friends is the best!  I wish I could do it more, but I guess then it wouldn't be as special.

Sarah,  Why are we like that...I don't know!  I guess it is a great time to think and enjoy the ride!

TLW,  I think the rules state that you have to repaint the whole wall.  Sorry...I check my painting manual. :)

Kimberly,  Thanks for the compliments on my daughter.  She makes me melt every day!

Ginger,  I know my wife will love the projects getting done, it is just so hard!  I wish I had more time for stuff like that!

Jeff,  Great to have you by.  Next year when I get out to Jersey, we should hit the links.  I am IM'ing with people at the shore while we do our Fantasy Football draft.  I wish I was there!
