Sorry Jerry

For the last 15 years, I have been participating in a Labor Day Weekend golf outing that is put on by my oldest friend, Mel. I have missed a few of the weekends for various reasons but have continued to demonstrate that even poor golfers can look good occasionally. This golf outing is primarily made up of friends and family of Mel. They come from all over the country. Mel lived in Atlanta for a while and several people come from there. There are friends from New Jersey and Alabama coming up this year also. He started including the families about 8 years ago, I am sure at the insistance of the wives and this year we are staying at the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky. It has turned into an annual event that my whole family looks forward to.

Of course it started out as a guys event. The actual golf outing still is but there is a pre-golf outing on Friday afternoon that the ladies are now invited to. It is really a chance to start the party early but keep it tame while the ladies are present. I have been to a few of the Friday excursions and will be playing in about 6 hours.

Now, since this event started taking place, I have had to change my Labor Day lifestyle. I grew up watching the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. There was always the cavalcade of stars, all giving their time for that great cause. Since I have been attending the golf outing, I do not think I have watched the telethon. The telethon gets bigger every year and Mel's outing continues to grow as he adds more friends to his roster and families grow up. So, sorry Jerry, maybe next year.
