Spring ???

What a great week of warmer temperatures. Steve and I actually got out one night this week and walked the 5 hole loop at Belmont. It was a little soggy but we have certainly played in wetter conditions. We are looking forward to playing while we are in Florida next week and then will be hopeful the golf season is ready to start in Ohio. If the weather pattern continues it promises to be an early spring this year. The trees and lilacs are already in full bud and the grass is greening up quickly. It is a wonderful time of year.

Last night we had a wonderful evening with Jim and Lois. Jim was celebrating his 89th birthday. There is an interesting history between Jim and I of our paths crossing. Jim worked for O-I in the Television Products Division when I started working in Columbus TV Products plant, in 1973. Of course at that time he was an important Sales Manager while I was a lowly Industrial Engineer. We never really were more than acquaintances or maybe it is that I knew who he was but he didn't know me, but I do find it ironic that now some 37 years later we are great friends. Lois meanwhile has become my student. She has taken up the computer and has allowed me to share my knowledge with her. For anyone that says computing isn't for seniors I beg to differ. Lois has quickly picked up emailing and surfing the web. She has become so proficient she has many of her friends calling to see if I can make them computer literate now too. She is also a faithful reader of this blog so I know she will enjoy my compliments to her skills. Thanks Jim and Lois for a great friendship.
