Tomorrow is the big day... back in the land from whence I came last October. The land of hazy, hot and humid, thunderstorms, all day rain (usually on the weekends) where weather actually ruins plans (out here it's just too hot to do some things). But it's where I'm from and I need to go back and see my peeps... Got some pretty cool events planned and a lot of people to see, most of which I will touch on in this blog. The dates of most are set, but like life, plans change and stuff happens...
Wednesday morning I will leave the Valley of the Sun and fly to Richmond, Virginia to see my sister and her family...the girls (my nieces) finish school on Friday so I hope to make the walk to the bus before their last day... After several days in ole Virginny, I will be taking the train from Richmond to Newark, New Jersey (great idea, thanks, sis) where I have a rental car waiting to be picked up for a drive down the shore to stay with Loretta and Vic for a few days (thanks, L & V). Included in that stay are the annual "grudge match" golf round pitting Vic and I against Walter and Bob...(we've been playing golf together since high school many, many moons ago). The rounds of golf I played with Mike and Roseanne last week (thanks, guys) gave me some competition and put me in a good state of mind for playing Walt and Bob... A trip to the US Open Golf tournament is on tap for Thursday June 18 (thanks, Vic) and that should be a blast... My return to Beth Paige Black will bring up some very pleasant memories and will recall some great stories (the burying of the underwear immediately jumps to mind!).
Saturday I will return to Long Island for some golf with cousin Lynn and her husband...(God, I can't remember the last time I saw them...maybe Bob's birthday party??) and will spend the day with them before trucking up to upstate NY to visit my NY friends...(and play some golf). Then on Monday the 22nd, I booked a hotel in Manhattan to revisit the greatest city in the world (NYC) and spend three days hanging out in the Big Apple. Monday night, I'm taking the subway over to Citifield and check out the new digs of my beloved Mets who hopefully put a hurting on the St. Louis Cardinals... Visits to my work peeps, more friends in NJ round out the visit before I return to my new home back here in Arizona...
With all that running around for the next three weeks, I'll need time to rest back here... I will do my best to see everyone if only for a short time...Remember, the guest room is open here in Arizona all year round and of course the weather is beautiful...So, enough chit chat. Back to the packing of the suitcases and golf equipment... I'll see those of you I can in a week or two. The blogs will come on a more frequent schedule (I think so anyway) because as you all know, I have a lot to say...
