I just wanted to thank everyone for thei
.. ok that’s just not right 
r
calls for my birthday and well wishes. My dad called from up north on
business and we got to talking as one usually does on the phone, Edison
made a good invention, that he did.
We started talking about the
Detroit Tigers, how well they were doing, etc. Then we got onto the
subject of Golf. Because we play it and I was taught it by him. Anyhow,
I was describing how while Tiger was at a Nike commercial shoot that he
shattered a camera while shooting… So this conversation happened:
Dad: You know who Bobby Jones is?
Me: Yup he’s the famous golfer that created Augusta National golf course
Dad: *surprised* yes, well back in the day….
Me: When you used to walk five miles…
Dad:
in the snow both ways, we used to goto the movie theatre because they
didn’t have this In-ter-net thing back then, before the war… And
Bobby Jones used to have fifteen minute lessons on the big screen,
which was in black and white colours back then, by the way.
But,
Jones was the last golfer to continue to use wooden shafted clubs. He
took a three iron, and they say only god himself can hit a three iron,
and shattered more than one camera in his day.
Then we got
talking about the best Sports Entertainment out there, Wrestling. heh,
and here you just thought all I did was play video games, golfed and
listened / watched Anime all my days….
Chatted about how Terry Funk must be really old.
Dad: Terry Funk must be at least 90. I myself am 43 now. Because as soon as I turned 50 I started to count backwards.
Me: So then at some point we’ll be the same age.
Dad: That’s the plan and I’m sticking too it.
Then
we got to talking about hockey. This is a true story not a before the
war bit like above, although the Bobby Jones bit is true.
Dad: A
friend of mine travels with the Edmonton Oilers. In fact he was around
before Gretzky came to the Oilers. He travelled with them when they
faced Detroit and he said that they were just gassed and had no energy
getting to the bench or on the ice because they over played themselves
in the year.
Me: Yzerman will retire this year… Well they just resigned Chris Chellios to another one year contract….
Dad:
Your kidding me… that’s it tell the owner of the Red Wings that I’ll
lace up the skates and play beside Chellios, in fact I think I’ll go
outside and skate all night. While your at it get those World Series
tickets as well.
So as you can see that’s just a glimpse of my
Dad and myself. Much like my journals, we too are all over the place in
our conversations be it on the web or in real life…
