NEW TIFFANY LAMP

Today we met Michael and Shari in Milwaukee as they are looking for ceiling fans. We shopped at a huge lighting warehouse and I found a small Tiffany lamp that I have been searching for a long time. I have it in my computer room.

With my grand kids Nicholas and Isabella

Here I am eating dinner with Isabella, Nicholas and Michelle.













Here I am watching the US Open and rooting against Phil Mickelson.

My new car

Here is my next new car - the Dodge Viper. I took it for a test drive and it meets my standards for speed. Yes, I think I'll get it.

Me and my grandson

Here I am with my grandson Alexander...

My vacation in Scottsdale, Arizona

Here are some pictures from the vacation I took in Scottsdale in early May of this year.

This is the TPC Scottsdale - the PGA Tour plays here every year. I was "testing the waters" on this shot.













This is the 18th tee. It was a 200 yard forced carry over the water. I hit my drive 260 yards down the middle of the fairway. The audience there applauded and I acknowledged them.













I stayed at the JW Marriott in Scottsdale. A very nice hotel.

Lana'i pictures

Here are some pictures from Lana'i.

This is the cliff that Michael and I climbed. You can see me in this picture, about half way up this cliff. I am looking down on a hidden beach.













I made a new friend on the island...













I got pointers from the guy who lights the tiki torches. He wouldn't let me carry the flame stick, but I did try....













The signature hole, #17, at the Experience at Koele.













I nice day at the pool relaxing...

Hawaii Part 3

I've added a few more Hawaii pictures.

This was at the Marriott Waiohai. They have these beautiful yellow flowers all over the island.












Here I am in Lana'i. This golf course is the Challenge at Manele. This is their signature hole, #13, par 3 202 yards. Bill Gates got married at this tee box. I lost a lot of golf balls on this hole.

Here I am with Michael, Shari and Alexander. It was after our round of golf. See the cliffs and individual rock behind my shoulder. We hiked that the next day.

More from Kauai

Here are some more photos from Kauai.

Here is the second signature hole on Kauai Lagoons. It's the short Par 4 with a hidden green next to the ocean. I parred this hole - and I'm celebrating my putt.













Here I am at the furthest northern spot of all the Hawaiian islands - the Kilauea Lighthouse.













Here I am at the 7th hole at the Princeville "Prince" Course. It's a 200 yard forced carry for a Par 3.

Kauai highlights

Here are some more pictures from my Hawaii vacation.

Here I am in our timeshare. We were on the second floor this year.













The best way to spend time on a vacation.....













This is one of the signature ocean holes on Kauai Lagoons, one of my favorite course of anywhere in the world. I lost 3 golf balls on this hole - so I wasn't too happy.

Welcome to my blog site

Welcome to my blog site. I'll update this periodically. Check back frequently for updates.

I'll post a couple of photos just to start off. I just got back from two weeks in Hawaii. I went with Michael, Shari and Alexander. We had a blast. The first week was spent on Kauai and the second week was on Lanai.

Here is a picture of me at the Kauai Marriott our first day there.













Here are am with my grandson, Alexander.














Here I am teeing it up on the signature hole at the Poipu Bay Golf Course in Kauai. This is the course the PGA plays at each Thanksgiving. I shot a 66 on this course (in 12 holes)!
