Recapture Our Youth Tour

Following a one baseball game - three rounds of golf outing in Arizona, I have headed off to Florida with three life long friends as part of our "Recapture Our Youth Tour."

So how is this for a week....five spring training baseball games (Yankees-Cards; Jays-Indians; Jays-Phillies, Jays-Reds and Dodgers-Nationals), one NHL hockey game (Tampa - Philly), one PGA Golf Tournament (Bay Hill Classic) and two rounds of golf. Certainly an all time high for sporting activities for me and for my partners in this odyssey.

Back in Phoenix, I was able to see Canada defeat South Africa in the World Baseball Classic. I also got my first golf of the season in and lets say it wasn't the best start. But, hey, its still March and if I wasn't traveling I wouldn't be golfing.

But what I did in Phoenix is nothing compared to what we are doing in Florida. We have a great condo at Clearwater Beach, and are surrounded by college students on spring break. We are trying to jam in as many sporting events as possible and we are succeeding. We have even done a couple events in the same day...golf then baseball at night or baseball in the afternoon and hockey at night.

Does it get any better than that?

We also have done a good job of behaving ourselves...and I know some may find that hard to believe. As proof, we have posted our photo album (updated daily) to show that we have been good boys.

I was very excited for all you until I came to the last page of pictures...with so many animal shots I became a little nervous that the weak American beer had taken hold of your collective souls
