July 18. Okay, Yesterday was another day off and you know what that means my little bucka-roos:-) GOLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, another great day in the great outdoors. We are playing at a place in the mountains of Northern California. The hotel is on a lake and a bunch of the guys are trying to get me out on the lake in a boat while they water ski. IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN! As most of you know, I am not the great outdoors man. But, put a putter in my hand and I'll chew grass. The same five as last time go out again to try our hand at golf. This time I am determined not to have a 13 on a par 3. The golf course is small but cute. It's unique, it's only nine holes but you can play 18. They have two sets of tees that change the yardage the second time around. And one hole that is on a barge in the water. Yikes! I am excited. We also had the whole course to ourselves. The whole course wraps around a small lake. This course had a driving range unlike anything we had ever seen. On this range, you hit the balls into the lake:-) Yes! Into the lake. The first time around was great. Three of us were within one stroke of each other. All went well on the back nine until we came to two par threes. :-( Not quite as bad as three days ago. But not good either. Once again I blew up on both par threes and came away with two straight four over pars:-( I hate par threes. The rest of the day was uneventful. I came away from the day three shots off the lead. Ouch! Later that night, I was sitting on the deck of my room trying to find the lake in the dark. And I'm not sure, but I thought I saw a guy with a knife in a hockey mask walk by. So, now it's time for bed. After locking up the room nice and tight, I watched TV until falling asleep. After going to the gym and working out, I thought to myself. "Self:-) You at least need to jog down to the lake and try to see what all the fuss is about". So, I'm sitting on a log overlooking the lake and trying to get into the beauty of it all. I just don't get it! It was nice and all. But Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would rather be at the movies;-) I go back to my room to take a shower. The water is running and I am about to get in the shower. I look down and there it is. The biggest spider in the world. Bigger than Godzilla, King Kong and The Loch Ness Monster. I scream like a 10 year old girl at a Barbie Doll convention:-) ( I don't even know if 10 year old girls are into Barbie anymore). This thing is huge and I am going to fight it to the death. So guess what I did? Come on, just one guess. Yes! I drown his ass and watch it roll down the drain. I think it gave me the finger when it was going down the drain:-) This is why I don't like the woods. Give me a McDonalds anyday. The only thing I have to worry about is the occassional crack head in the parking lot;-) Tommorrow is another show. See you there. Stay as cool as an eskimo sunbathing in the winter:-) JV Peace JV
