Nicole and I are still here, just nothing blog worthy lately so didn't want to waste anyone's time. We're enjoying the beautiful fall weather. I'm still golfing (just got in from 9 holes) and Nicole is still running outside. We both played golf last night (4 holes before dark) and then went out for sushi. Troy Burne has its end of the year party this Sunday with 18 hole scramble and food/fun afterward. Troy Burne has a new owner now and he will address the group on Sunday. We are hearing a lot of good things about him (all good inside information). We are hearing an expanded clubhouse with a patio that overlooks the water on hole number 10 and an upgraded kitchen (badly needed). We'll see what the winter brings for changes.
I am looking forward to a golf trip in early December (too far away for my liking) and Nicole is going to Chicago with the girls that weekend.
We are also working on a trip over New Year's. The slate is wide open, we just have each other. We are looking at numerous places. Our original intention was to ski somewhere, but it's like a million dollars to ski anywhere over New Year's. The places we found in Tahoe are $700/night (too rich for our blood). We are looking at wine country both in Napa and Oregon. Oregon looks very interesting so right now that is the leader. We looked at Europe but with the value of the dollar as poor as it is my friends who have traveled overseas lately are advising against it. (Trust me, the dollar will be cheap for a long time with the debt this country has dug itself into). So Europe is probably 10 years away, which is fine because there are plenty of places we haven't seen in the US.
Other than that, catching Gopher football and Gopher hockey games (Wisconsin this Friday). The hockey team is on the upswing after a great weekend sweep at Colorado College, and the football team, well enough said.
Love you all, see most of you at Thanksgiving!
