You know, it's not a big secret that I have the best job in the world — I get to travel around the country (and sometimes the world), talk to people I'm really interested in, learn more about something I love and, in general, shoot guns.
As my Sweetie says, "That's not a job!"
It is, however, a LOT of travel...I used to think I traveled a lot, but I didn't even know what a lot was...so this is my third or fourth birthday away from home. I know when you get my age you're not supposed to think about birthdays, but it is a way to note the passing of time. And given my druthers, I'd rather spend the day with my Sweetie and the strange menagerie — talking birds, small beagle, tailess cat and three fat goldfish — in my house.
Today, instead, I did a class with Bruce Gray at the SIGARMS Academy. It was a great class...Bruce and Paul Erhardt from SIG are good friends, I know and like the Academy instructors, and the guys in the class were great.
At dinner tonight, Frank Ching and the guys from the SIG Forum arranged a birthday party for me. I got a great Aloha shirt, complete with USA Swimming logo from Frank and a HUGE cake with the SHOOTING GALLERY duck on it. Paul Erhardt graciously picked up the tab, and SG stalwarts Robin Berg, Mark Jury and David Jones made it to the hotel in time for a piece of the cake.
To Frank. Paul, Bruce and everyone from the SIG Forum, thank you. Tonight, the road is a little less long...
Happy Birthday

ReplyDeleteMichael,
ReplyDeleteyou do a lot of travel. I need a new carry-on. What do you use and what would you recommend? Do you think a 22" will be accepted for carry-on even though it's a hair over the 45" linar inch limit (most bags)?
thanks,
Overload in Colorado
Belated Happy Birthday MB. Good luck on the new project.
