 Sorry all for such a long absence from the forum, wasn't by design. The first job, the one I have grown to hate but pays the bills has been improving and busy.

 

 Basketball for my son, and coaching him, travel cheer leading for my daughter and her about to be a teen has been taking a ton of time. But the best, and maybe the scariest thing is my son is really into skate boarding. I skated a lot when I was his age up until I was about 20 (and the 3rd broken ankle).

 

So for the last 4 months, if the weather is nice enough, it's me and my son hitting the skate parks together. It's been great being able to do an activity with my son we both love! Lots of pain, bruises and bumps for me, and lots of him laughing! I just couldn't get him into golf, my daughter gave up to.

 

But don't worry, the King Of Style is still alive and hooking (the ball). Have my group trip to Pinehurst coming up in May, promise lots of pictures!

 

I will be more active, miss you guys!

Welcome back!  In actuality, you never really left.  I always enjoy your posts.

 

A friend of mine has gone through the same thing except with grandkids.  He retired early so he could go on basketball, baseball, soccer, and cheer trips with his two grandsons and three granddaughters. He almost had to give up golf for awhile because he was driving 500 miles each weekend in all different directions for their activities.  All of them are pretty good at golf, but it is not their passion.

It was nice of Barbajo to wish JB doesn't break a fourth ankle, but I still find it pretty impressive that JB has broken three already.  None of my four legged friends here in New England even attempted to play golf, much less join a forum.

 

Still, in the overall scheme of things, four ankles are pretty routine. 

 

I've had four broken noses.

 

Beat that, guys.

Two broken noses, four dislocated fingers, two separted shoulders (same one), one broken hand, one broken foot, one broken collar bone, one broken orbital floor (eye)...... I quit!

OUCH!

After all that he finally quit. Slow learner?, or glutton for punishment.
