Every golfer who has been somewhat serious about golf must make a pilgrimmage to the home of golf, St. Andrews, Fife, Scotland. The earliest recordings of golf date back to 1456, several years before Columbus got to the New World. The opportunity arose in 1999, due to a business trip to London to see a famous physician. Our friends, Mike and Susie joined us, though the ladies do not play golf. They were good sports in letting us have this golf outing of a lifetime. Several days in London, though fun and busy, went by slowly in anticipation of the trip [View Full Entry]

Having been a very avid tennis player and fan most of my adult life, I jumped at the chance to attend the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadow, New York during the 80's. I was going to Chicago and Atlanta on business anyway, so it fit right in. I got the tickets from the Northern California Tennis Association, for which I was a committee volunteer. During a meeting, the Director asked if anyone wanted the tickets, and I said YES. Do you remember who won the Men's title in 1982? Chicago and Atlanta were just a couple of stops on the way [View Full Entry]

Attention you skiers out there, I have not forgotten about you either. I was a skier for many years, before old age and common sense took over. Actually, I stopped when my back started giving me trouble in the early 90's. But I loved to ski, and to race and was fortunate to ski all over Colorado, Utah, and California. But Aspen is the best, because it offers a lots of everything: outstanding skiing, great food, crazy people, great shopping, well known celebrities, and lots of night life. I actually went to speak in a series of continuing education (Pharmacy)seminars for [View Full Entry]

Our first really big trip was a few years back when we went to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was also the last time we flew in Coach class on any foreign trips over a couple hours. We arrived, via Miami and Sao Paulo, early one morning in Rio. As opposed to most countries, after we went through customs, we were forced to shop the duty free shop before entering the country. This forced us to make some difficult purchasing decisions at the very beginning of the trip. We found our driver and car for the 45 minute drive into Rio, [View Full Entry]

I always wanted to take a trip to the famous Indianapolis 500 Race since I was a youngster. My Father went a few times when he was alive. I wanted to take him after I finished college, but he passed away shortly after my graduation. Since it never happened, I decided to go this year(2007), just to see what it was all about. Let me be among the many who can say to you: it is the "greatest spectacle in racing". It is fast and loud. It has surpassed my attendance at the Olympics, the Masters, the World Series, the NCAA [View Full Entry]
