Golf
Today I had the rare privilege of playing golf in December. You see I am a Minnesota golfer so that means my season runs from cold March to cold November. Today I played golf at the Clemson University course and shot a 92. I even shot a 43 on my first nine. For being my second round in two days, but first golf in 6 weeks, I was quite happy. The grass goes dormant here in South Carolina so it is sort of like playing in outer space, but it is still golf and the greens stay green. I also played the day before yesterday and shot 104.
Tomorrow I am going to play golf again, and probably play on Thursday as well. Vacation is good. I checked my email today and found that I only had 12 new emails. On an average non-vacation, non-holiday day, I would get anywhere from 40 - 80 emails per day. it is nice for things to be a bit slow right now, no complaints from this guy. I am not really good at slowing down, its the Activator and Achiever and Focus working in me. But on vacation I turn it towards reading, running, and golfing. My wife came with me today to golf and she is a great companion on the golf course. Most of the time all the golf thoughts running through my head stay in my head, but with Danielle there, she gets to hear all about what I am doing, or what I did wrong or right.
Today Danielle told me she was going to run a marathon, and I decided I would go for my third marathon this fall. We are going to run the twin cities marathon 2006 in October. I know what it takes to train for a marathon and I think it will put me back in tip top shape. You see I run 4 times a week, but marathon training will almost double what I run. So, the extra 5 lbs I am carrying will probably melt away. Nice for summer.
Well that is it from South Carolina. Talk to you later alligator. JVD

Joe,
What are your goal times going to be? I am going to run the TC 2006 as well. It would be sweet if I can join you, but I understand either way. Take care bro.

Nice golfing Joe thats a nice round in the middle of winter. Hope all is well with your vacation.
Also, I think we talk about all getting together at your house next in January sometime...Do we have any dates possibilities? We can put Isabelle down in your 2nd bedroom in order to hang out longer... Look forward to hearing more of your golf scores.
