This Past Weekend

This past weekend was your golf outing. It was a mixture of emotions. I had fun golfing with mom, Larry, and Scott. We didn't do well, in fact we tied for last place. That is right, we couldn't even win last place out right. It was fitting that it rained some as the one person said every time you scheduled an event there it would rain. People shared experiences about you. Larry told me a story that was pretty funny, but not appropriate to post. A lot of people "heard" you on the golf course. I heard "keep your head down." Other heard "Oh Robert." It was fun, but sad because it would have been a lot more fun to play the round with you. I must admit I love the hybrid club. Saturday night Kellie and I met Scott and his wife Andrea at the sun festival. We paid to get in and then bought tickets to taste micro-brews and wines. Uncle John's cider mill had a hard cider that was pretty tasty, but we tried a few that weren't tasty at all. We had Sir Pizza for dinner. In the morning we met mom, Cheri, and Alex for breakfast. We headed home, but did make a few stops on the way. It was a bitter sweet weekend, old wounds were opened, it was fun but sad. Love ya guy.

Light

The light stuff, I have a jar (I still need to clean t out) so my 4 pennies will have a home. I will continue to look for Wheat pennies to fill the jar. Boston came out last night and stomped all over the Lakers to win by 39 points. Tiger had an 18 hole playoff and it still had to go to a sudden death playoff, Tiger won.

Some Thoughts

Sunday was Father's Day. I missed you. I have decided to do something inspired by you. You used to collect Wheat pennies in a jar, I have decided to start doing this as well. I have 4 of them so far, and no jar but it will come along. I also learned how hard it must have been for you. It seems very hard to find a balance between work and family. I know that we work for our families and sometimes that takes us from our families. I know we let them down sometimes because we have to do something. It must have been even harder on you because you owned the business and you had only yourself to count on. I can not imagine the stress. Cheri and Alex had fun at MIS, mom went and saw her brother. I spent this weekend working, although Friday Kellie and I had fun celebrating our anniversary. We went to a comedy club and saw Tom Wilson, he played Bif on Back to the Future, he was pretty funny. We went to Brasa afterward, Brasa is a Brazilian restaurant where they bring all kinds of meat out to you, the Parmesan crusted fillet was the best. The other thing we did Friday was buy Kellie a new car. We bought her a Jeep Liberty with a slider roof, the roof opens up almost the full length. For fathers day I got a Lego set and some cards. The cards were pretty cool, and put the Lego together this morning. It is the Well of Souls from Indiana Jones. Tans really likes to play with all of the snakes and make the wall crash open. So much is going on right now I don't even know what is going on. I missed you on Sunday so I am wishing you a Happy Father's day because you will always be my dad even if you aren't here anymore. Love ya guy.

Wings Win

The Wings closed out the Stanley cup last night. It was cool to watch them hoist the Cup again. They blew it Monday night at home with 35 seconds left. They went on to lose the game in a third overtime period. I almost had to rant because rumor had it that Ozzy was going to be the MVP. He wasn't, and that made me happy. You know how I feel about Osgood, but he did save them and took over the net from Hasek. Zetterberg was the MVP. I will miss you now because I know you would go out and get me a hat or shirt or both and send it to me. You were good with that. In fact we found newspapers from the one before that you had saved for me. Love ya guy.
