I am a real man's man!!!!!

Life has come full circle for me. In my third decade of life I have discovered some new things I really enjoy. Of course, my number one passion is my lovely wife, Ashley. She is, and always will be, the true love of my life. Having said that, I have been "turned onto" some manly things thanks to Unk and Rusty at work.


First of all, I have become a bass fisherman. Unk has been taking me fishing and taught me the finer points of topwater, spinners and jerk baits. To date I've got just under 10 huge bass. I've only broken one rod and reel and lost 12 of Unk's baits. Not bad. Speaking of which the last time we went to Unk's secret fishing spot he was getting annoyed that I was "outcatching him" so he ventured out into the desert area of the pond. As a result and because he was wearing sandals he stepped on a jumping cactus that pierced both his feet. He had about a dozen cactus needles in his feet. He tried pulling them out, but couldn't without pliers. He also couldn't stand the pain so he had me come over and pull them out one at a time. Without me, he would still be maimed.


So, I also have purchased tickets for the Lakers and Los Suns for Saturday. I have become a huge Suns fan. I will be there in all my glory wearing orange with my face painted along with my buddy Rusty. I'm thinking of going to the airport to meet the Suns after tonight's game. I can't get enough of the NBA.....it's fantastic.




And now for the best of all. I want to learn to play golf. Unk has promised to take me to the driving range. I really think I can be good at golf, all I need is clubs (left-handed). I know I've never hit a golf ball, but that didn't stop grandpa Howard from thinking he could be a world class ice speed skater, even though he never skated in his life. Golf is my game.

  5. The Los Suns suck dude, they wore their Los Suns jersey's the other day in portest to the AZ immigration bill. Tell them to stay out of pollitics and play ball.

    But I'm glad you like basketball now. The NBA...it's where amazing happens!

    super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly
    enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for newbie blog writers? I'd
