The month of November has been very exciting for me so far.
Early in the month I was voted the Gold Glove winner for the National League, this award means a lot to me because I do take a lot of pride in my defense. I want to help us win and even though I can’t always have success on offense, my defense does not have any reason to slump. If you concentrate the entire year, every pitch, you should be ready for anything hit your way.
Also Jim Stone and I held our annual Golf Tournament and Gala Nov. 14th. It was held at Torrey Pines again this year. The money raised benefits the South Bay Family YMCA, which I love what they are about and how much of an impact they make on the community. The day was great we, couldn’t have asked for better weather.
We also just got back from a trip Betsy and I made to Costa Rica. It ended up being one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. The landscaping of rainforest like green and the wild around you was awesome. There was monkeys and birds and iguanas and many other wild animals roaming around your room.
Yesterday and today Betsy and I were part of the Mother Goose Parade, a parade that celebrates Thanksgiving. It is the biggest parade in San Diego. It was a lot of fun, I was fortunate to be the sports grand marshal. It was good meeting everybody involved and also everyone who participated.
This has been my month so far, hope your has been good also, God Bless. Till next time.
Have a great Thanksgiving everybody and remember to thank God and be thankful.
