I'm Alive!
I have really neglected this page forever.
That being said, I'd like to congratulate Pete and Jess, and MB and Tieds on the arrivals of Dylan and Natalie into this world! I can't wait to get home and see them in person. I'll be home a month from tomorrow for good, and I really can't wait.
I've been getting into Frisbee Golf lately, and it's alot of fun. My best score so far is a +7 on a 9 hole course. I shot 18 out here in the desert in Arizona in Monday and shot a terrible +19. The triple bogey on 5 and throwing my putter in the water on 9 really killed me. I did make the best shot of my short career though, nailing a putt on 16 on my knees from under a tree about 20 feet away. The past 2 weeks we were in Houston and there was a park with a course directly behind our hotel. Since it's free to play, it's nice to have it so close so there's no "cost" involved with taking a cab there, like there is here. I probably won't get to play again this week, as rain is in the forecast for tomorrow. The weather is just crazy here in Tempe. It was 106 the first 2 days when we got here and today it's 65.
Also saw the midnight screening of Indiana Jones last night, and I won't give any spoilers, but I was very disappointed. The first 1/3rd of the movie was classic Indy, great cinematography, great sequences and everything. But once the plot got set into motion, I understand why Speilberg didn't give anyone a broad sense of what the movie was about. What really makes me upset is all the reports I had read about how they kept rejecting scripts. But after seeing the film, there HAD to be a better story to choose than this. I know that this is Steven and George's love of their childhood movies come to life, but it just didn't feel like an Indiana Jones story to me. Enjoyable, but nowhere near the hype that it had been built up to. If this is indeed the swan song for Indiana Jones, I feel sad.
That's all that's going on for now. Peace out from Arizona.
