the 17th hole arrrrrrr

WEll to all my fans I am back to write another blog before Jenn deletes me from her page, so here goes.

This year I joined a indoor golf league with my friends Brian and the golf pro Bill. How it worked is the place where this was held had nemourous courses on theie system and what ever course the Pro golfers played we got to play. Well being the golfer that i am I had some good rounds and some not so good rounds. Let me tell you about the not so good round first. Bill being my golf teacher was playing a round with me and Brian and I got the shanks, if you do not know what that is I hit everything sideways and the computer still read the shot, not so enjoyable for me but Bill and Brian had a good laugh, however it got to the point where, when it was my time to hit Bill left the room. I did get over this by the next round and slowly got back into form.

Last week of the league and we got to play the club championship, it was at The old cousrse at St. Andrews. If you do not know this course it is very wide open. I was having the round of my life, I was 2 under par through 15 holes, I boggied the 16th which put me to 1 under. I should tell you the guy who runs this shot a 1 over par and stated for $5 anyone who beats me gets their membership for free next year. I was getting excited that i was going to beat him and get something for free for the fist time in my life.

I got on the tee at the 17th and the wheels fell off. On the 17th you have to hit it over a very large house to get it on the fairway if you want a shot at the green in 2. Heres the swing there goes the ball opps on top of the house, its rolling it has a chance to stay in play (did I not mention my name is not bill bath) my ball falls off the back part of the house and out of bounds, I had to re tee. (if my name was bill bath it would have rolled off the front of the house hit a rock landed on the cart path rolled hit a bump bounced over the sand trap on the green and in the hole) 8 shots later I finished the hole. I do believe that bill and Brian went home with wet pants from laughing at me so much. anyways needless to say I will be paying for my membership next year. Brian and bill free

Toques

Last week I arrived at work and it was -25 degrees with the windchill. We found out when we arrived at the station that the toques that we went out (that have police written on the front) and bought, we are no longer allowed to wear. We can't wear them because a certain somebody in our division decided that they do not look professional and according to our directive, are not issued by the police, so that means no more toques for us. Instead, we have to wear big ugly furry Russian furbies. These things do not cover our entire head, or ears so when you are directing traffic for 2 1/2 hours or taking photos outside in these temperatures, it gets really cold.

I really do not understand why a touque is not allowed, if you saw this russian hat we have to wear you would also think that a touque would look a little more professional.

So there is my vent of the week, why should it really matter what we have on our heads as long as we are staying warm and doing our job, do you not agree??

The workout

Well its been almost a year now since Jenn and I have been going to the gym. Last year I got off to a great start and could see a difference in myself. I even had other people commenting on how fit I was looking. Then came golf and ball season. The gym was non existent and the muscle that I had built up turned to flab.

Well its time to get back into it. I have made a deal with Jenn that I will get a six pack, not the keg that I have now. I did not realize how hard it is to get one. I do sit ups every day, run when I am at the gym, and it still is not there. I have cut back on the pop that i drink, and since I do not drink alcohol I do not have to worry about that. What else do I have to do, I am up for suggestions from people if you have any.

One thing I have noticed though is when i stand up straight I can see a difference, why do I slump I have no idea, however that is on the back of my mind, stand up straight and your gut goes away.

Well I am started again to get the body of a champion, I will keep you all updated and maybe one day show off my abs.

spoiling the wife

One thing I have realized about being married is that it is the responsibility of the husband to spoil the wife.

This is one thing that I love to do for the best and most beautiful wife in the world. When we first got married I have to admit I sucked at doing this, however I truly believe that I have gotten better at doing this.

Even though Jenn will say that she is not a princess, I believe that Shannon is slowly rubbing off, and i have to say I really like it. Not going into details however Jenn has come a long way, from her lumber jacket to a pee coat, running shoes to very sexy dress boots along with other things.

Over the holidays I decided to visit the world of Victoria's Secret, what great shopping they have, and I enjoy doing the spending. Jenn has not said much about the items that have been purchased for her, but they sure look good on her.

So to all you guys out there, lets get shopping and buy something for the peopel that we love, besides they do put up with us.

Well Feb 14th is coming up and us guys know that the women in our lives are expecting something from us. Well not to spoil the surprise but I do have something for my beautiful wife however she is going to have to wait to see what it is.

So Jenn I hope that I am doing my job and don't worry there are many more years and many more gifts for you from me.

To all my blogger fans out there, sorry it has taken so long however the stupid system would not let me log in, Jennifer had to figure it out for me. More to come soon.

funny story

Ok For the most part anyone who reads this blog they know what I do for a living. So heres my story. I am sure people out there think that police officers have nothing better to do then look for kids stealing christmas lights and ringing door bells. I cannot tell you the number of calls we are getting for this type of incident. If you are one of those people please stop, it is a waste of your money. Sure your money pays me but there is no criminal offence, and if drug dealers are not going to jail, why would a person ringing a door bell. Which brings me to my story. When I lived in BC my friend and I decided to do play nicky nicky nine door (sorry if that is wrong) anyways we went to a seniors complex because we thought that they would not be able to get off the couch in time to catch us, so off we went. Rang the first door bell and sure enough the door opened right away, so what did we do??? thank god it was christmas time we started to sing Christmas carols. Jenn thought it was funny so I had to write about it.

Well that would be it. Hope everyone has a merry christmas and I will be back to writer another before New Years

pea coat


Let me start by saying that my wife is the hardest person in all the world to shop for, I truely believe that she has taken a page out of my parents book, and that is whatever she wants she goes and buys. SO let me just say Christmas around my house gets harder every year.

Well the other night we were on our way home form Jenns christmas party and she pipes up and says I would like a "Pea Coat" for christmas. I sat there thinking to myself what the heck is a pea coat. I did not ask any questions I just let it go.

Monday night I got to work and I was thinking to myself wow I really need to start buying things for Jenn for christmas, so I started asking the guys at work what a pea coat was. Wrong people to ask they all looked at me like I had 10 heads, so I thought to myself I will phone Shannon she will know, she knows everything about fashion. SO I called the champ residence. Guess who anwsered Brian, so I asked him lol I cannot repeat what his anwser was, but lets just say he did not know. Well stupid me I had a female partner that night and she started laughing next to me saying why are you asking guys they don't know what that is. I had to agree. SO off we went driving, Monday night was quiet at the beginning so we did some window shopping, off to the stirp mall in Ajax, first window shopping store Danier leather, and yes they did have one in their window. $499.99 I had another good laugh, typical Jenn wants the good stuff, because she knows that I am a sucker and will buy it for her, but not this year.

I have no reason behind this blog , but if I had to give one peice of advise do not ask a male police officer for advise on fashion, unless his name is Ryan edgar.

The tanning salon

Well this will be my first real post. I have to start by saying its a joy being a male in a relationship, you get to drive your wife around while seh enjoys spending the money and you just sit back and watch, and then theres the tnning salon, I always get the honor of driving Jennifer to the tanning salon when we are out. We will go out to spend money then the next thing I know she pipes up, I think I want to go tanning, then what do I get to do, thats right sit outside the tanning salon and wait, how much fun is that. I understand why women want to go tanning, but why drag us guys around with you why you do this, I am sure there is a good show on TV that I could be watching instead of sitting and waiting. Anyways I guess its all worth it in the long run.

I use to go when we were getting ready to go on a trip, but it is sooooo boring, you lay there for 20 minutes and wonder how much longer before this is over lalalala I am sooooo bored, anyways all the women that enjoy the tanning salon, just remember the next time us guys want to go to the golf store I do not want to hear any complaining.

The end thanks again for reading
