I have mentioned a few times now that I work on blog articles after work at my desk in my office. Well, I took a much needed vacation the first full week of October. So, that kept me from my office, right? Then I was busy catching up at work and now I find myself with not many blog posts this month (October). So, I'm trying to catch up and write several before the end of the month to meet my personal monthly quota lol (10-15 per month).
Where did I go for this much-needed, stress-free vacation? Well, of course Vegas! My fave city. :) I even saw a show this time. Being that I have been to Vegas a lot, I have seen most shows, but this time my friend Robin and I went to see Barry Manilow. It was a really great show and she and I had a great time! Barry is now 75 years old, but you would never it know based on how he moves all around the stage, dancing and very active, for the entire full 2 hours of his show. Heck, I lost close to 20 pounds before going to Vegas and he STILL had more energy than I did at 75. Pretty impressive!
hahaha.
I also used a new app called "Relive" and it's super cool! It creates a video of hikes/runs/walks/biking/etc and puts your route on a google map, and you can also add photos along the way. Here I am walking from the Peppermill to the Flamingo Casino along the Vegas Strip and here is another video when I walked from NYNY casino along the Vegas Strip back to the Flamingo. It can show how many miles, how fast you went, and how long it took. Pretty cool app, right?
So, I flew Southwest Airlines for the first time in about 15 years this trip to Vegas. I normally fly American because DFW is a hub and that's who all my airline miles are with, lol. But, it was about $200 cheaper with Southwest this time and therefore I found myself at a new airport (Love Field) and a new airline. I normally watch the movies on AA through my tablet (if they don't have screens in the chairs) but because I hadn't flown SW in so long, I didn't know I needed to download their app to watch shows BEFORE I got on the plane. Oopps!
However, always the prepared person that I am (smile) I brought along my ipod for music, sudoku puzzles and a magazine, "Golf." I somehow have a subscription to Golf magazine, prolly from some online thing I signed up for and then got a free magazine. I normally stop any free issues, but I have been sharing the mag each month with my coworkers. However, I took this issue with me in case I needed some time to kill on my flights (SW had a layover on each leg of my flight - well, "stop over," not switching planes).
ANYWAY, lol.
Archie Bradley (pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks) was interviewed in the Golf magazine and I really enjoy when different sports and athletes cross each other in magazines or interviews or articles.
Towards the end of the interview he shared some great advice a golf pro shared with him. And now I am sharing it with you all :)
Q: What's the best advice you've received about your golf game?
Answer:
"I played with Lucas Glover, and he gave me a bit of advice. He said, "Hey, man, you don't practice, so when you come out here don't expect to shoot a 75, because you're not good enough to shoot a 75. If you shoot an 85, you shoot an 85." Ever since then, I've loved golf 100 times more."
Great advice for our pool game, too, right?
