So I am staying at my family friends house for the last time tonight. It's sad that it's all over. I remember just getting here, and missing school.
The Brooks's have provided great memories and great food and great hospitality and I am forever grateful to them.
Mr. Brooks is the person who is responsible for teaching me so many wonderful things that I can pass down to others, and hopefully one day my own kids. Rick is the person who taught me to waterski last year. This year I've taken what I learned and started to run with it and do more advanced things other than just being pulled by the boat.
He also taught me how to use a table saw. I may never use that skill but I figured it would be worthwhile to learn. Yes that did take me away from writing one night.
He is also the person responsible for introducing me to golf. I've always wanted to learn and I am thrilled that I have begun the process of becoming course ready. I have a feeling that learning golf is something that will be so valuable by the time I die that it's value to me will be immeasurable. I mean that mostly from the people I will meet and friendships and relationships I will forge because of it. It's also a sport I can play when I'm older and I think it will add years to my life because golf will give me exercise and something to live for...although I am not ready to think about being 75 and retired yet.
It also could help me business wise. For all I know I could have a career in it. (I mean the business side of golf, but don't ever count me out on the playing side. You never know I may be the next Tiger)
Which brings me on a complete tangent.
Does anyone want to be the world's number one golfer? Atleast Tiger still has it...
I am happy that I will continue to get to see the Brook's though. They have family by Storrs so I may get some golfing in. I'll also see them at my Lake House. They have been so good to me and I am thankful for them.
