The Villages 2009

We arrived on Sunday, Feb. 1st. just in time for Super Bowl. I have seen every Super Bowl game, and outside of the 1969 (Jets over the Colts), this was one of the most exciting, especially since I won $125 in my office Super Bowl Pool (which I run). I'm the office "book". Don't know what they'll do without me! As of Feb. 1st, I'm also semi-semi retired, which means I work about 25% of the time and go into the New York office about once or twice a month. The first week it was quite cold, so we didn't play much golf. Went to the movies and saw "Slumdog Millionaire", a great movie, which should win the Academy Award. We did play a little golf and some pickleball. The competition down here in The Villages (official home of pickle ball) is quite good. We visited with Janet in Leesburg and when Jim and Carol flew in we took Janet out for her birthday on Feb. 12th. Dick and Lou arrived on Saturday, the 14th, and the next day we started our annual Del Masto Spring Golf Classic, of which I was defending champion, but that's another story for another day.
