May 27, 2011
That was the week that was, part 2

Left early Monday morning for Hershey, PA. That is one of my favorite destinations, fortunately business takes me up there at least once a year. It's a pretty area of the world, nice people, the rooms are a little pricey but worth it. I was there for the annual NAOHSM meeting (bunch of oil home heating guys) which is held there every other year. Managed to get 18 in Wednesday night at the Hershey CC; great old tract used for the PGA championship in the 40's but with a lot of rain the rough made the round last until 8:45. Good time with old friends regardless. I'm not sure I will be asked back; I misunderstood the message on the sand trap rakes, each one was labeled "LEAVE RAKES IN SAND TRAPS" and I thought they said "RAKE LEAVES IN SAND TRAPS" No wonder it took us so long to play 18........One of our favorite restaurants burned down over the past couple of years; I remember leaving one night and being told that each and every one of us would be welcomed back anytime, individually, not in multiples.
I'll be back in the area in late July for a BMWMOA rally and a friend's wedding, then again in August for the APR Supply Expo.
Wonder if this was started by disgruntled Dunder-Mifflin employees?

Is John Edwards going to prison? Press one to vote yes; two for no, and three for no opinion. Each call costs $9.95
SWMBO reminded me that she 4.0'd each semester in graduate school so technically she was the first Riley to make the Dean's List. Think she's just grabbing on to the Riley name, not sure; but your clue is that I used 4.0'd as a verb...........................................so, probably not. Anyway, we're really proud of you Jackson
Another observation made while contemplating life over a vodka tonic this week; is this the maid from Family Guy or Arnold's baby mama? You decide.........................

And so it is Memorial Day and the roads are filled with dingbatters. Welcome! Spend your money! Leave!
My granddaughter is walking, look out. Running will begin any day now
Happy Memorial Day weekend; go Danica, everybody but Sebastian Vettel, and everybody but Kyle Busch

Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
