Chillin with my buddy Tanner

Yesterday the main objective was to get the dogs to the groomer.  We took them early in the morning but weren't able to pick them up until after 5 pm so they weren't too happy.  After picking the dogs up Huli and I played cards with four other couples and had a great time so today we just kind of chilled most of the day.  I took an hour or so motorcycle ride but didn't do a whole lot other than that.  While I was on the motorcycle Huli did some Christmas shopping on line,  My golf buddy Charlie stopped over and talked for an hour or so.  Charlie is a really neat guy who is still dealing with issues from Vietnam from the late 1960's.  Looking back that's the only lottery I have ever won in my life with my draft number being 268. Charlie got drafted but then ended up enlisting since they said he would get a better assignment but it didn't work out that way for him.  We are going golfing on Monday at the Gulf State Park course which is supposed to be a fairly nice course. They have a special for the month of December where it's two for one so we both get to play for $50.  Golf around here is a little more expensive than last year in Florida or back in Warsaw but it seems you can always find a course that is having a special. A course called Kiva Dunes that we played several years ago on one of our annual golf trips when we were in this area costs $80 to play.  Kiva Dunes is probably the nicest course in the Gulf Shores area.

 Tonight my buddy Tanner and I did some grillin out and watched the Alabama vs Georgia football game to see who would end up playing Notre Dame in the BCS championship game.  Down here all you see is "roll tide roll" banners and stickers on cars, trucks, rv's you name it.  I hope ND does the rolling when they play one another on January 7th.
