Dr Copa Scrip for Success

It seems that my folks are seriously considering relocating to Florida to retire and enjoy their “golden years” and since they are avid golf fans they are looking to find a retirement community that will keep their favorite sport close at hand. I’m not crazy about them moving so far away, but I do believe that they deserve to spend the rest of their life in comfort and able to enjoy the sport that they have enjoyed together for so many years.

They have been busy looking online at various retirement communities and have found a few that they are wanting to fly down and check out for themselves. So far the CCRC Retirement Communities in Palm Beach Gardens seems to be on the top of their list and they are getting all excited and worked up about the idea of actually making the move. I just wish that I could take the trip with them to make sure that they make the wisest decision possible. It’s hard to think of your aging parents making such drastic and important decisions on their own.

My daughter’s boyfriend loves to skateboard.  He has encouraged my daughter to learn how to skateboard too.  For now he has been lending her one of his many skateboards to learn on.  There is a great skateboard park near where they live, and they have been going there almost every day for several weeks now.  She is finding out that she loves to skateboard too, and she is getting pretty good at it!

Well the talk lately seems to be all about the snow and all of the wonderful snow activities that are out there to be enjoyed by people of all ages. In the break room at work today, a co working was telling of his up and coming vacation to Switzerland where they are going to stay at one of the apartments in Les Arc that they found a bargain on online.

The Les Arcs Accommodation are truly awesome. After dinner tonight I actually went online and did some looking around I am really impressed with the Le Village Arc 1950 that boasts 8 separate residences which are constructed of timber and stones that resemble a very quaint alpine design which as you well know is a big tradition in those areas.

I mean really, who wouldn’t want to stay at a place such as this? It looks just like a post card.

I like to shoot guns.  Unlike exhaust, loud exhaust I might add, guns are even louder!  You really need earplugs!  I recently joined a gun club where I live.  And immediately started going on a weekly basis trying to improve on my marksmanship, which was pretty good to start with.  I hadn’t fired any of my weapons for two to three years because I’ve been extremely busy, but now with a little time I’m able to go once a week and shoot.  I don’t drink or do any drugs, so I have a little bit of money to buy bullets, and you can go home when you’re done and not have to worry about being stopped for anything.  Cheap entertainment! 

Anyway, I discovered a lot of people were going to the range, which really surprised me.  Come to find out, half the people going to the range were getting ready to take a proficiency test to get their gun permit.  I already had mine, although I am preparing to go for my federal permit.  I don’t have to worry about qualifying; I consider myself a great shot.  I still go every week just to make sure; and it is fun!  But back to the people that go there regularly now.  They will probably never go back there again after they get their gun permit as it has become quite a controversial issue down here in the Washington area.

While talking to the gun shop owner, who owns the range, he agreed with me too, but business is brisk right now and these people will take all the business they can get!  I forgot to mention he holds proficiency classes every Saturday and is booked up for the next three months!

Over the last ten years I’ve been collecting certain die-cast cars of NASCAR drivers that are my favorites, and who win the top races.  I don’t have all the die-cast cars of every race driver out there, but I do have at least one of most every driver that has won a major race.  Of course, we all know the top drivers are Ernie Irvin,Kyle Busch,Tony Stewert and Jeff Gordon.  Also on occasion Michael Waltrip and Jeff Burton have won races.  Oh, I almost forgot Dale Ernhardt and Dale Ernhardt Jr!  I have a lot of their cars, especially the ones with the fancy paint jobs.

One of my favorites die-cast cars is Ernhardt’s car with the pastel colors.  You know what I mean if you’ve seen it.  I especially enjoy collecting the cars that are painted up like Star Wars or Superman, I have one that has a picture of Brooks & Dunn on it, one with Tweety Bird & Sylvester, and one with the Incredible Hulk.  That one is really sharp.  We all know like everything else, the price of these cars keeps going up, and with my limited funds I even take the time to discuss this with my wife with just having two or three cars a year versus buying eight or ten.  She’s a nut about the finances especially when the bills barely get paid each month.   

I haven’t bought a car for pretty much a year now, but what I’m pretty much doing now is buying one or two cars a year, those being the ones of the top #1 and #2 drivers that finish in the top points of NASCAR for the year, that way I have a record each year and a car of the top driver.
