Please allow me to re-introduce myself... I'm a man of words on a page. I've been around for a lot of blogs... Shared stories of happiness and rage . Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name... But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game...(blog). Sorry, Mick but it was too apropos this time. I guess we'll call this "Sympathy for the Blogger."
Okay...enough with the massacred song lyrics. I am back to recap the last few months of life here in sunny (very sunny) Arizona. When last I wrote you (August), I was celebrating a year at the Hyatt and a new woman in my life (Nancy)... I am pleased to announce that I am still at the Hyatt with a kick ass schedule...(Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) and Nancy and I are still together. The weather has gone from blistering 100+ and some pretty vicious storms (with some serious flooding) to the absolute paradise that is the next 7-8 months. The weather change wasn't gradual this year... a tropical storm (yes, a tropical storm in the desert!) named Rosa came from California and dumped a crap load of rain on the Valley and swept the heat away. We went from 100 degrees to mid-80's in less than a week and it has stayed like this...(Thank you, Rosa!!). So, as snow begins to fall on the and rest of the country, I am blessed with high 70's during the day and mid 50's overnight...It's time for shorts and sweatshirts! The golf courses are done with over seeding and are lush and green and open for business. I am off on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday every week (Thanks, Boss!). But the best news is that Nancy and I are still together... it has been a great experience getting to know her and hanging out together and discovering this great place we live in. I look forward to every time I see her. In fact, tomorrow we will be celebrating 5 months together and I feel really good letting the blog world know that we are looking for a place to live together and hope to move in to a place soon...(don't look now, but it looks like someone is growing up and becoming an adult!). But don't worry, I still have the mind of a child...
So, that is exciting news...after 10 years here in Arizona (Nov.15--Happy Birthday to Cathy Daddy and Molly!) I am still embarking on new adventures and new challenges...moving into a new place...(wherever it may be) moving in with my girl, Nancy...working at a job I truly love to do...(the 4 days off a week is pretty nice too). I needed to get back in touch with all of you because I am truly blessed right now and I wanted to share that with my blog family...My health is great (considering all the years I spent trying to kill myself with booze and drugs)... I have found a church and have been attending on Sundays with Nancy... (when work will allow). It's a Methodist Church here in Tempe (I like to call it "Catholic Light"-- all the religion without the guilt!). It's nice to be involved in a church again. I have never lost my relationship with God...(He has blessed me beyond belief) but it feels good to visit Him at His house. My golf game is also beyond belief...(I still can't putt but it's better now than it ever was) and my scores are consistently in the lower to mid-70's (now I can try and beat the temperature!), Sheba, the cat (aka Mrs. Wafflepuss) is alive and well...although she doesn't like Nancy...(jealous cat that she is).
It really feels good to get the blog going again...I hope that all of you are doing as well as I am and I send warmth and sunshine your way...(I sure do have a lot to spare these days). God Bless you all! I'm back! Back in a blogging groove! And baby, you'd better believe...I'm back! Back in a blogging groove! Back in a blogging mood! See Ya!!
