The 2015 Christmas Miracle

On Christmas Day 2015, we had a high of 82 here in Deer Park!! I recall my kids were out of town with their Mom. I decided to take advantage of beautiful weather and played Disc Golf! On the course, a kid around 15 years old, was playing behind me. He was alone. I waited for him on a hole and we joined up together and played the course. On Hole 8, it goes behind some homes and curves left, under a tree. The kid took a shot at the tree. It began to move left and I said, "That's a great shot... that's close!" BAM!!!! The disc hit the basket for a Hole-in-One!!!!!!

He turned and looked at me and yelled, "I hit it!"

I witnessed the Christmas miracle of 2015.

Bruce best FIRE... 1986

Bridge School Lineup I, Oct. 13, 1986

“I have been to quite a few of the Bridge shows, but nothing beats the first one. First, not knowing what to expect was one thing, but the lineup was just incredible! Don Henley, Tom Petty, a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young reunion, Robin Williams and Bruce Springsteen. Back then, no one did acoustic sets like they do now."

The Henley set started with great version of ‘Boys of Summer’ and included ‘New Kid in Town’ with J.D. Souther. Petty played a strong set. CSN&Y reunited for only their second show in 14 years. Springsteen was awesome.

Best version of FIRE ever done. He had planned another song first, but as he walked out changed his mind and started with FIRE.
