Where oh where has the Captain and the Gypsy been

     Where oh where indeed. Got a message just the other day that said "why don't you write". In the past I have used many excuses, some legit and some not so. So with out offering any excuses here goes.
     My last entry was Dec. 12, more than 2 months ago. Since then its been Lawn Bowling, Golf, Work, Bike riding, small evening diners with friends, Christmas in Utah, and just plain laying around in the sun in my spare time, Oh yea, I forgot, Writing. Lets start with the writing. The park publishes a newspaper once a month and they ask if I would write an article on any subject for the paper. Well this might be interesting so, Yes. Now I write 2 article for each month. This has really been fun, it's kind of a creative outlet for me. Of course then there is work, well it's not really work but they let me stay here for FREE if I do this thing they call work. They use to call it Security but that was changed to Courtest Patrol. NO, no gun and no bullets, I know we're in Arizona but still no gun. I think I'm probably the only one with no gun. Lawn Bowling. This year I promised myself That I would do more bowling. I did win one Championship though, well I was part of a team that one the championship. The team won in spite of me I'm sure, but I won. No money, No flag, No ring, and No parade. I did get a small trophy and small towell with my name on it which is really what I wanted. Since then I have lost in 2 tournaments, but there is two more tourneys this next week. Christmas in Utah, a White Christmas at that. Had a great time. Our whole family was there. Which is really special. I guess as you get a little older the realization and importance of family becomes more and more important. That could be a article all on its own. A White Christmas's is special, being raised in Southern California where white is just in pictures. The Gypsy really loves the snow, but the she only deals with it for a very short period of time. Well, enough of this boring pleasure talk, enjoy the pictures.
