Where in the World?

Sometimes when I look at my son's Facebook, I feel like he's Waldo on tour. Remember those Where in the World is Waldo? books? This kid is having way too much fun with his work. Too bad all of us can't find that kind of happiness in our jobs! He really seems to have found his niche in life!

I guess I should explain. He works for Ecco Golf (shoes) touring the country putting on promotional events at stores, golf courses, and golf tournaments. I stole some of his photos off his Facebook page of his roadtrip since he left here in early February.

Golf in Florida with a friend!

Pacific Dunes in Oregon

Michael in Bandon, Oregon. He loves beaches too! They just have to be adjacent to a world class golf course! His stance in this photo reminds me of the Gorton's fisherman. HA!


Michael at Bill Murray's Caddyshack tournament in Florida. Michael says he's a great guy!

My dad was an avid golfer and taught Michael to golf at a really young age. He was letting Michael play at his country club by the time Michael was in kindergarten. So he would be absolutely thrilled that Michael's found a way to do what he loves while he's earning a living.

Home Again!

Baby Golfer is in the house! Not sure if he would like me referring to him that way, so don't tell him! He's back in Phoenix for a short R&R after being on the road since February. He's parked his wagon and is taking time off to veg, swim in the pool, and play some golf.

Tuesday morning we took a long swim in the pool and then set off in search of a new cellphone for me. First stop was Costco. Fortunately, Michael knew the guy managing the cellphone business in that store. It was his next door neighbor from his ASU East college days. And like Michael, the guy has found out he can make a better living doing something other than golf management. Michael's friend steered me away from the phone I'd been looking at to the best deal in the house -- a new Blackberry phone for free.

After the cellphone purchase, we headed to Pita Jungle for lunch. I didn't get any photos of the food, but I did trick Michael into a photo with the new camera phone. Pita Jungle's been one of Michael's favorite Phoenix restaurants since college days, and now they've opened a new location close to our neighborhood. They serve organic Greek/Mediterranean food. I ordered the Pita Rustica with grilled chicken, artichokes, and roasted peppers. Michael had the Beef Gyro with a side order of what he says is the BEST hummus he's ever had. And it was good!

I spent the afternoon trying to figure out the new phone. (I'll probably be spending more than one afternoon! HA!) Can't remember if I've ever posted this here, but here's the Baby Golfer! He was gone all day today playing golf with friends. Thirty-six holes (18 at The Raven, 18 at McCormick Ranch) in 111 degree heat. They MUST be CRAZY!

All I Want For Christmas

Is my two front teeth!

Home Again!

Our son left yesterday after being here for a few days. And he just LOVES to jerk my chain. Ha! I think that started at birth! When he arrived home, he walked in the door wearing this t-shirt. He'd just driven in from Utah where he evidently visited a good brew pub with a sense of humor!

Here's Michael with his best girl Saby!

He's really enjoying his new job with Ecco Golf traveling around the country doing demos and shows. But I can tell he gets a little weary at times of life on the road and living out of a duffle bag. I love this Blake Shelton video that expresses those same sentiments (but obviously, my son's not in France!).
