Spring Has Sprung!!

Yesterday I learned how to golf, and I have the blister to prove it. That's the kind of injury you get golfing - blisters - it's a real rough and tumble athletic event. Can you imagine if there was tackling or interference on the golf course? How much better would that be? For God's sake, you can't even carry on a CONVERSATION during a golf tournament, much less have a few beers and enjoy some fresh air. It's like, "So I saw Jim the other day and-" (5 minutes of silence while Tiger drives followed by 10 minutes of running to the next spot where his ball is) "-he's getting married."

But we were at the driving range, which isn't really golfing, more like practicing (or "sucking" if you're me and have swung a golf club twice and the last time was a decade ago). It's more of a social thing - though come to think of it, we didn't talk while we were at the driving range, either. Maybe that's why everybody goes out to eat after they golf - to catch up on all the conversation they couldn't have earlier.

Anyway, it's 75 degrees here today - finally! It won't stay this way, but it's a sign that warmer weather is on its way. What a mood it's put me it - amazing! Who can help smiling when the sun is bright as can be and it's so warm outside? It makes me think of barbeques and beer and baseball (which starts MONDAY!) and paddling canoes on calm lakes and hiking and fireworks and warm breezes at night and that sweet scent in the air... it's the best. Today I'll probably get home (all the way with the sunroof open and windows down) and go for a run, just to breathe the fresh air for a bit. I can't wait. I love this time of year.

I hope the weather is good this summer - it can rain from time to time, but mostly sunny weekends would be just great. I bought my plane ticket for San Francisco last night... I don't know what the weather is usually like there but I hope it's absolutely gorgeous when I go. I can't wait - I've never been and I'm really excited! Everyone who I tell says I'm never going to want to leave. One client of mine put it, "When I went out there, I flew back, packed up my stuff, and moved out there right away." Doesn't bode well for me :-)
