Where did May go?

Holy Cow!!!  The month of May went by way to fast.  Since my last post, life has been fantastic.  Unfortunately my Oakmont CC trip was postponed to June 8th due to severe weather.  That's OK, i've been busy w/ the following:
  • Joined a basketball league w/ one of my co-workers up at the Monon Center in Carmel.  We've  played two games so far and I'm still getting acclimated to my new teammates.  Monday nights throughout the summer you can find me there
  • Went to Dallas May 21-23  For those who don't know, my sister also lives there.  Caught a Cubs/Rangers game (Cubs won in 10 innings!) and got to spend some quality time w/ the family.  It was great to see my Texas cousins & aunt/uncle who I don't get to see very often.  Plus add the fact that my Dad, Grandma, and another aunt/uncle were also in town, it made for a nice weekend. 
  • Learned that I will probably never use my sister's buddy pass again.  Flight was free (thanks sis!), however, my travel days were 9 hours and 11 hours, respectively.   Considering I was only gone for 60 hours total, not worth it in my mind. 
  • I turned 29! 
  • Have finally got out and played some golf.  played 4 rounds in the past 3 weeks.  Shot a 90 (in a monsoon) and 92 (on a course i'd never played before) in my first two rounds.  Came back and shot an 81 at West Chase last week, my best score by at least 4 or 5 strokes at that course.  Then played in a scramble at the fort last saturday
  • Indy 500 - normally that weekend involves an RV, 4 kegs, 20 lbs of meat, no showering, tents, and miscellaneous shenanigans.  However, this year we did not do that and decided to take it easy.  I actually had decided to boycott most race activities....that is until Marko called me and told me had pit row/garage passes for race day.  Needless to say I took him up on that.  Check out my facebook page to see those pics
Other news...the annual Indy CPA basketball tourney started this week.  My firm was lucky to get a first round W, squeaking out a close one.  I played decent in 1st half, leading us in scoring, but only scored 4 pts in 2nd half.  Luckily we got some good production from other players in the 2nd half to help lead us to victory.  We play again on Wednesday & Thursday.

Summer tennis league has also started.  Our team has played two matches, losing 3-2 in both matches thanks to our team having a 1-5 record in 3rd set tie-breakers.  I only played in one of the matches so far, winning easily.  Hope I continue to play that well in future weeks. 

Myrtle Beach in 3 weeks, then Vegas at the end of July...can't wait for both! 

In other gambling news, my group of friends that competes in the ESPN Streak for the Cash have now successfully turned it into a gambling event, combining some the theory behind "High Chicago" or "2/3rds" (variations of 7-card stud).  Leave it to us...., but as with everything else, gambling always makes it more interesting.   Speaking of gambling, is it crazy that i'm considering betting on the World Cup (see previous sentence about making things more interesting).  Somehow I let Gill talk me into Uruguay as a sleeper to make it out of pool play.  They are 100:1 odds to win the whole thing.  sounds like it's worth at least a $10 bet. 


Decided my next Elkhart trip will be 4th of July weekend, and then a quick trip on July 17th to play in the Jimtown Outing. 


No videos this post...i'm too tired
