May Travels

webwitz@pacbell.net — Thu, 01 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Webster's College dictionary's describes travel as: To go from one place to another, as by car, train, plane, or ship; a journey. Currently that journey is going to be expensive with fuel at new all time levels. Pessimist or optimist; is that gas tank half-empty or half full? As I see it, one of two things is going to happen: 1) People are going to stay home; or 2) The travel industry is going to offer enticing discounts to draw customers to their destinations.& [...]

For All Who Love The Game by Harvey Penick

smheartrecco@yahoo.com — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 16:50:37 +0100

Recieved a book about Lessons and Teachings for Women Golfers from AM 950 KAHI MUSIC/GOLF CONNECTIONS Host Loyce Smallwood a few weeks back. Thank you very much Loyce for the book.

The Golf Vixen suggested reading a book a day, so took her advice and plunged in. Started reading it today and found a lot of different aspects in the book that will help enhance my golf game. They say the good players always visualize their shots. This is true. The swing is a feeling. [...]

Paradise for Outdoor Adventurers and Nature Lovers

kjsulligraham@yahoo.com — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:46:22 +0100

We had a relative visiting from New Hampshire recently, and as good hosts do, we took her all around the area to see the sights. It was during this week-long adventure of daily excursions that I was reminded of what a plethora of wonderful natural sights and adventures Placer County and the surrounding area have to offer. All too often we get tied up in our busy lives and don't take the time to appreciate the beauty in nature all around us. There is truly so much to encounter just minu [...]

Movie Review: The Secret

smheartrecco@yahoo.com — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 07:40:43 +0100

Normally, do not write movie reviews on here, but figured I'd make do. This week a friend loaned me The Secret. Popped into my stormin' green laptop and enjoyed!

The Secret gave me The Power to Believe in myself again and it was enpowering too. It was one of those movies that brought a positive life changing experiences which are happening at this very moment.

Got a new job on Friday. Start this Monday and the work fits me perfectly. It also incorporates a lot of my [...]

MANDELA

loy@foothill.net — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 19:25:56 +0100

Very much enjoyed watching the movie Mandela and de Klerk, the story of Nelson Mandela played by the wonderful Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine as F.W. de Klerk. Of course the acting is excellent and the story is riveting and what a relief: No profanity or nudity. Unfortunately, because of the nature of apartheid/segregation, violence was depicted in a graphic manner--all offset by the stimulating conversations of Mandela and de Klerk in their attempts to end the violence [...]

YUMMACIOUS AT GIOVANNI'S

loy@foothill.net — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 19:35:01 +0100

Enjoyed an absolutely incredible meal at Giovanni's in Colfax where I dined in splendid excess with Hubby Jack--recuperating from knee surgery--and celebrated Stuart's Shurr's birthday with Wife Christina. I enjoyed every stitch of my dining experience from the tangy Bloody Mary to my tasty salad to my linguini with blackened prawns. And let me mention the crusty bread dipped in vinegar/oil. Living in Auburn for 20 years this October, I confess that it was Stu [...]

CRANKING UP THE MIRTH METER

loy@foothill.net — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 19:08:51 +0100

So enjoyed the experience today: Hosted Zoo-Keeper/musician Gary Bowman at KAHI where we cranked up the mirth meter by playing Bowman's new CD with animal sounds/theme. Bowman also shared his interesting background and talked about meeting Jane Goodall. On the golf program I chatted with Shawn Kelly, pro/instruction at The Ridge, about the short game and Kelly gave his opinions on golf etiquette. After the programs, we all headed over to Courthouse Coffee and joined T [...]

MOVIN' ON

loy@foothill.net — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 17:24:15 +0100

It is being said that 2008 is the beginning of a major shift in growth/change/upheaval and one can certainly appreciate the economic reality with higher gas prices, etc; but life does, hopefully, go on. Ran into good pal Syl Bruce as she headed over to Depoe Bay on High Street where I joined her and bumped into fellow golfer Donna Arz who was with Jack Bangs. While waiting for our order at this very busy coffee house, chatted with AJ columnist Susan Rushton whom Bruce brought up to s [...]

March Madness

webwitz@pacbell.net — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 13:13:08 +0100

March is a fascinating month, there's so much to celebrate besides
fluffy pink bunnies, green Leprechauns and religious observances.
Not to take the importance away from the religious aspects, or for
that matter the chocolates bunnies, marshmallow Peeps, four leaf
clovers, and green beer, but I found out that this is also a special
month to celebrate America's culture as we know it today.

While doing some quick research about March, I found a subs [...]

I will be moving to GV soon and am searching for a nice boarding facility for my QH. I ride western, but enjoy riding with english riders too. I do some reigning and cutting and like to ride the trails. Am looking for a facility with some trail access and a good sized year round arena to work in. I don't want to be too far from GV. Any suggestions?

ROUND TABLING

loy@foothill.net — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 17:57:25 +0100

Post-program at Courthouse Coffee I was joined by the returning Liz Pope, golfer Spencer Strand and Diana Farr from The Ridge. It was good to see Liz and share golf stories with Spencer as we all talked about our golf experiences and ties with the community. No golf today or tomorrow but I am grateful for the rain and the quenching of the thirsty earth so will look forward to some play next week. Stopped by the Assistant League Thrift Shop on Hwy 49 in Auburn and was asked t [...]

Back in Auburn

smheartrecco@yahoo.com — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:34:05 +0100

Enjoyed a delicious latte over at Courthouse Coffee and chatted with Courthouse Coffee Owner Linda Lareau. The drive up yesterday was not bad at all. Clear skies and a gorgeous warm day.

It is great to be back in the Auburn Community and connecting with the local community. The radio broadcasting career is being restablished again.

Made another connection/contact with the Promotions Director at 103.9 FM The Fish. He used to work at Americom Broadcasting as the Programming&nb [...]
