Happy Holidays

Hello to all and Happy Holidays......

It's been a crazy rushed time here at the villa. We had a few weeks without guest so I've been doing some minor projects which always comes down to the wire.....

So Williams family of 4 gets in around 4pm and lets us know that Dollar rent a car does not have a car for them, even though they have a "confirmation" number.... Dollar hooks them with some other no name rental car company and finally gets them a car and I meet them at the dairy around 6 pm..... Get them checked into the villa and they decide to head up to "Kokopeli" for some pizza and then do some shopping at Cost-U-Less. Well we get a call about 9:30 pm and they have had a flat tire. Car is packed with groceries and it's dark out, they didn't take one of the 4 flash lights that we supply them with in the villa either... So I jump in the car with a can of fix a flat and go to the rescue. I find them in the dark on the side of the road over by Mahogany Run Golf Course. Fix a flat runs out all over the pavement. Whole inside of the tire's sidewall is gone. We transfer all the groceries to my car and find the spare tire but no lug wrench or jack..... We then unload all the groceries from my truck so we can get to the lug wrench which in under the groceries and then it turns out that it doesn't fit their car anyways.... So I take 2 of them with the groceries back to the villa, grab 2 other lug wrenches from other vehicles but guess what? ......they don't fit this tire either.... So I put the other two in the car and we leave the rental car on the side of the road and head back to the villa...I then pour a very large rum and egg nog!. It is now next day at 10:20 am so I am hoping to drop them off at the car where the rental car company will be there to help......To be continued....

Tis the Season.....

Well the Christmas season is upon us. Hopefully I can get some last minute internet shopping done today so the stuff gets here by Christmas. My injuries are not as bad. The lower ab pain is almost non-existant. I've put myself on a half marathon 13 week schedule to get ready for the 8 Tuff Miles Feb. 27th. I'm incorporating yoga and swimming as cross training. I hope that Santa brings me a bike for Christmas so I can start training for a Triathlon this next year.

Well todays workout was an easy one. 2 mile run @ 9:00 min mile and 500 meter swim both down at Magens Bay. It is a nice place to be able to train.......compared to the "northerners"
