Greetings and salutations from the Great Southwest... Enjoying the weather (we are solidly in the grip of 100+ and the monsoon season starts tomorrow). I was trying to figure it out and the last time I remember it raining for any length of time was during the Phoenix Open. In case you forgot that was in February... it is unsubstantiated but it has been a long, long time. Monsoon season is something I not familiar with yet. When I think of monsoons I think of the Far East and torrential rains and flooding. Here it means humidity (but not the kind I used to know) and flash flooding from storms that seem to appear out of nowhere... (some pretty cool lightning storms too). But according to the weatherman there are still 7 suns in the 7 day forecast (toughest job in the valley), so our intrepid golfer is spending some quality time on the links the next few days... The kids (golf clubs) have been waiting patiently while I have been moving in to the new place and I need to get them (and me) some exercise while the swing is still in a good place.
In the meantime, I have been indulging my sports obsession with college baseball (ASU is ranked #1 and qualified for the World Series in Omaha), World Cup soccer (football), Major League baseball and the NBA finals... I need golf to pry myself away from the TV for a few days and get some sunshine and fresh air... But while I'm on the subject, here's hoping the Celtics do away with the "no one can compete with the Laker's length" Lakers in six games and let Kobe and the boys relax this off season (let someone else be defending champions). The games have been everything a basketball fan could hope for. Physical, exciting and down to the wire. It's a shame it has to come to an end but "Let's go Celtics".
Other than that I worked a show at the Scottsdale Center for the Arts last Friday and was assigned to keep people from touching the exhibits in one of the halls... Got to love the arts. They kept the room at about 60 below zero (exaggerating) which I loved but the patrons weren't too happy about. The actual exhibit was photographs and paintings of the surrounding Scottsdale area (and I learned much to fill the fountain of useless knowledge). It was a quick gig (4 hours) but pleasant one that contributed to my next round of golf. This Saturday is Mighty Mud Mania in Scottsdale. They flood a local park with water and build water slides and the kids play in the mud and water slide and then rinse off to beat the heat. It's a parking gig but not the usual suspects and more relaxed... (I know I said no more parking, but a gig is a gig. Life is all about change and adaptation). Plus, this year I am more prepared because this is the second time I'm working the Mud event and the new cooler is making its maiden voyage into the fray... (more cubic inches and cooling capacity for more drinkables). Should be an awesome time for the human cheeto...
