Little Guy

Here's the little guy. He's breaking my heart on a daily basis. He's had a pain in his stomach the last days, threw up last night but has been feeling better today. Tanja is home from work today with the same, I have been lucky and just one day with feeling like crapola. Nothing new happening here golf wise, I have not recieved anything from the hospital on when the surgery can take place, something tells me that I'll be seeking a private way or something.. would really like to get the knee taken care of asap. I am actually watching the Tiger now, it's cool that he's back playing agian and I woud assume he needs it more than anything in his professional life. Of course I believe it when I hear him say that family comes first.... Maybe it will now da. Looking forward to the basketball festival in sweden coming up soon. Wondering how the team will respond to being on the court again after having a good while scince their last game. Ya ya.. for those interested in reading more about the team, the way I communicate with them via the blog, you the reader will get anouther insight in the coaching methods I use in the team atmosphere.. for those interested da. For those of yoou waiting for an email back from me, I will be spending some quality time on the pc during the next few days. I have been a little busy with other 'day to day' things the last days. Thanks for the understanding. Take it easy and enjoy the day/night.

Watched the whole last round...

Hemmm, wondering what is happening... I watched the whole last round of the tournament in New Orleans.. and I actueally found myself not falling asleep too. Let's not jump to any conclusions here, I am still trying to find the best doctor for the knee and these things take time here, now that the heart is beating good again, it's just got to be the time to take the knee and rev up the motor for rehab. Ja ja.. have done that a few times and it's not fun to when you start, but once you get through the first few weeks, maybe months depending on the degree of operation, but after I start seeing the improvemnet the I think it's fun. I wonder what it's like not tohave pain in the knee, I have had that scince I was 17 years old, on some level I have ALWAYS had the pain. I'm not crying here and feeling sorry for myself, I could not have stopped the knee from being injured the first time and I have healed any mental wounds related to the knee, I just wonder, think, analyze to much probably.. tired now and the blogger conection is weird now... my spelling sucks, sorry folks. That's something that will never change as long as there is no spell check on the blog. bla bla bla

Over 10000 "hits"

I was reading down the "site" and saw that it's gone over 10000 hits in just about a year's time, cool, maybe I'm reaching some people on different planes, or should I say, I know I am and it's very rewarding to be part of. Thanks goes out to all my students/readers.

Would you trust this face?

We sure get a laugh sometimes when we are playing around with the camera/phone. He can sure make some faces, the other day we were at the physical therapist and she called him a 'charm troll', funny, because he is a little charmer. I guess, or should I say, I know that most parents feel that way about their kids, it's the parents that don't or never have really felt this way that I feel the most sorry for. Just think about it... poor souls. I just can't explain it I guess, or maybe it's such a hard thing to talk about, but I see myself in my kids, not just 'things they do, things they say, expressions they make' kind of stuff, but I mean I really feel as if a piece of me is living in them.... ok, I'm probably scaring some of the readers now, haha, people that know me might not even have a clue as to what I'm talking about... But I also guess there are people 'out there' that know exactly what I mean. Or?

Pappa and Little Gutt

Pappa and Little Gutt taking some pictures and just being silly. He's been hitting some balls inside and putting a bit on his 'inside green'. Every single day he's at it... funny little guy. I never have to ask him if he wants to play some golf, it's a given and the sooner I 'get it' the better off I'll be ,-) He even asked me after breakfast if we could go out to the golf course and putt a little. I'd love to, but it's just so #*!*# cold outside. Today it's a sunny, beautiful day, not a cloud to be seen, no chemtrails but it's 5 degree's outside and I have no plan to go out and enjoy the cold. I know, I know, put some more clothes on the little tike and go out.... I just can't stand the cold actually, I am much happier day in and day out if the weather is warm. I wonder what % of people have the same feelings. I know there are people who like the cold, rain, wind and all kinds of weather, but my gut tells me that most people 'have to' like the warm weather 'much' more than the afore mentioned. Again, sorry for the bad spelling.. I'd use 'bigger' words if I was more confident in my ability when it comes to the bs called spelling. I have some understanding of the importance of correct spelling, the importance of being able to communicate through the written word and all that. BUT if i sarted to right lik thes peopl whoold stil undestand??? Or what.. I took a couple speed reading classes in high school and college and we learned that if you train yourself to, you can pick up the important letters and words pretty fast and with some practice you 'just fill in the blanks' yourself. That being said, I have no idea why I am writing about that exact theme... ,-) Probably my tendence to be a poor speller.... haha. Gotta go...

Fredrikstad Basketball

Here's the 94-95 boys team. They played the 17-0 Sandvika team today, lost by four in their best game of the year and really made me proud by they way they battled. For those interested in basketball check out the teams blog by clicking the link on the right side of the page. Nothing really new happening, several courses have opened in the area but my knee is going to keep me from playing until I get put under the knife, again... Yada... I am really looking forward to getting that done asap and doing the rehab to get back on the course/court. ,-)

Go in da!

The little guy. . He just loves putting, we were at the course the other day or week and he putted for about 2 and a half hours. I have not taken him out on the practice area yet, that's more or less due to the fact that he has not asked. We have more than enough fun just putting and playing different games with that. He get to hit enough balls in the yard at home, I have moved the flag/hole a litte closer to the woods so that he can get a longer shot towards it... bla bla bla I know... but I do have to go..

Little guy is back at it. .

He was real happy about being at the golf club today. When I told him that we were going he starting running around with his hands in the air yelling 'yea, golf course, play golf with Pappa', you think that brought a smile to the old man's face? We putted for two and half hours and he did NOT want to go home, I told him we can't just stay at the golf course forever and ever, and he replied ' why not'... funny little guy. Was cool to see his ability to judge the longer putts at only two and a half years old. He's a golfer, that's for sure and he just loves it when we play some 'putting games' and sometimes he wins, I'll three putt from say 40 feet and he'll two putt, but of course he hits it all around the place most of the time and we have fun with that too. Amanda had 10 of her classmates at home for an overnight birthday party.... Leon and Tanja bailed and I'm taking a 'night shift' here at home....haha... no, they are well behaved girls and it's always fun for Amanda to have them over. Other than that, it was a shame to see the Butler team loose that game to Duke the other night, have not been able to write about it even, strange that.. I really thought they were going to win, I saw a cool piece of triva or science about the half court shot on espnamerica.com, they figured out that if his shot had been released at angle 3 degrees more upright then the ball would have hit the backboard three inches more to the left and gone in... I always said that golf was a game of inches, funny how basketball can be viewed as such also and I guess one could even venture to say that life is a game of inches as well. How many times have we been inches away from something like falling, tripping, slipping, twisting, hitting your head, not to mention everytime you get into a car, for me having golf balls wizz by your head going a 100 meters per second, you name it, and we come out unharmed, living with the knowledge that if it had been just a few inches this way or that way, then ooops, your dead. ,-)

Thump, thump thump, Thump, thump thump....

Ja, ja.... Thump, thump thump... It's beating regular again! I hope this time it takes and the stupid thing keeps beating like it should for a loooooong time. I was really wondering if this was going to help, and I must say that I did not have 100% confidence in the result, the people who did the procedure were real pro's and now the scary thing is they remembered me from the last time I was there. Uff da... I really don't want to get to know these people is what I was thinking. I even said to the very nice nurses and doctors that "I hope I don't see you again" with a smile on my face da ,-) Their reply was the same. The doctor said that they had to use a lot of electricity on me and had to lay me on my side to be able to apply enough pressure on my chest and back with the 'dothingy' or what ever it's called. Then 'ZAP' they filled my heart with god only knows how much electricity... fun, fun, fun. You'll all just have to forgive the spelling... Never have been feal good at that and with the pc's of today who really needs to? You can spell check anything on word, strange that on this blog thingy I can't, oh well.. The people who read this regular are used to it and probably get a good laugh as well... It's all good. Anyways, still a bit groggy from the hospital and am going to say goodnight for now... Tiger's on the stage and we have to see that!!

The reasons. . .

Here I am sitting, waiting and wondering at the hospital if this time things will work out and my heart will return to normal beating. Today will be the 4th time that I've had this procedure and only the first time it helped. Ja, ja. . As much as I dislike the hospital and would rather be someplace else, this seems to be the only way. . . .

Happy Birthday Amanda!!!

Amanda turned 13 on the 2nd! I really dropped the ball, sorry sweetheart... Uff da... It's been a busy easter and I of cour!e didn't forget your bday, and crongrats again with the new pc, but I did forget to write about it here.. ,-) Happy Birthday Amanda!! Love You! - Pappa PS- This picture was taken on your birthday two years ago, don't grow up to fast my dear child, my everything, Gull Klump. ;-)

Leon up close. .

Here is the little guy up close da. I am real lucky to have two such great kids. I guess sometimes I do take that for granted, which is human but I am able to recognize the difference... just got a visitor... more later da...
