First Entry

3/9/2009- Palm Desert.

I just set this blog up today and I am not totally certain what I am doing to how to do it. It is my intent to discuss things I am interested in about life, travel, golf, law and current events. There will be no particular theme. I will likely add photos from time to time. If you have have a suggestion or comment, please feel free to express it.

Today my wife and I played golf at our country club in Palm Desert, CA. We played with friends and then visited with them at their condo after golf. Over the next five days I will play five rounds a golf, including three rounds in a member-guest tournament. Most evenings we have dinners and parties scheduled. It will be a fun, but very busy week.
