Richie,
We usually go around Thanksgiving, which is right around my birthday (11/27). My wife \"complained\" that we never go on her birthday. I said you\'re the one that sets the dates.....so this year its a Christmas in Maui. And you\'re more than welcome to adopt my team. Been a long time since they\'ve been relevant.
Speaking of luck. Driving to work this afternoon, I ran over something and felt a large knock under my car. Took me a minute to say, \"hey, you better pull over and check things out\". So I check the front tire and as I do that I smell the strong odor of gasoline. Punctured my fuel tank, the same one I filled right before work. Call the fire dept, have them patch the hole. Wait 90 minutes for a tow truck.
I call my service guy at Infiniti. Tells me its $1500 or so. I said you\'re kidding, just my luck. He said it could have been worse, it didn\'t spark and ignite a full tank of gas. He said actually, you were pretty lucky. It could have been a lot worse. My wife said we have money to pay for the repairs, be thankful you weren\'t hurt.
I guess luck is relative.
Paniolo,
Great to hear from you. We are thinking about the Big Island next year, and would love to catch up with you again. 18 holes would be great. Hope you and everyone here enjoys the Holidays.
