New Profession

Well the month of October has come to and end for me up here in Castle Rock. Surprisingly, I have only seen one day of snow and that was very little. The temperatures have been in the 70's for the most part but I have yet to enjoy them. I take that back. I have been able to enjoy them but them have been from up in the trees haha. Most of you know that my job had come to an end at Castle Pines Golf Club, and I am now working on the horticulture crew for the golf club.

I guess the easiest way to describe what I do right now would be to call me a lumberjack. I am getting quite good at as well. The details of my job are to pretty much climb trees and trim them, and then cut them down if needs be. I can honestly say that it is harder work than I thought it would be, but as we all know we have Dad to thank for putting us through the numerous amount of holes dug, lawns mowed, and countless other jobs that we have done for him.

Most of the guys have had to tell me to slow down while I am working. I guess you could say that I am used to deadlines and getting everything done during the day so I wouldn't have to do the same thing tomorrow. Once again, thanks Dad. I would say, that as soon as it starts to snow...which it doesn't seem like it will be doing for a little while, I will then become a professional snow plower as well. Ah, the many things I will be doing for the next couple of months.

I am working hard at trying to finish my PGA books as well. It is very time consuming and I now realize why so many people start but do not finish these books. However, if I am going to succeed in the area of golf that I want to, it is necessary to get this done.

In a couple of weeks, I will be returning home for the first time in about 6 months. I am really looking forward to coming back and seeing all of my family and friends for a couple of days. I really miss all of you and even though I have been able to keep in touch with some of you over the phone there is nothing better than actually being able to see people and talking to them. I am also looking forward to everyone being able to meet Dawn. We have been together for almost 5 months now, and we have had a real good time together. She is a great person and I really think that she is going to have a good time with everyone...as long as Matt doesn't do any of his Big Labowski impressions that is.

I hope that things are going well for everyone and that all you families are in good health. I look forward to seeing you and your wonderful families. I am jealous of all of you but I know in good time I will have the same things that you possess and we can all be happy together.
