Well, there you go…

April 6, 2010 in BLOG 15 Comments

I am moving to California. It’s not easy leaving Utah after 35 or so years of collecting crap! It’s a lot of friends and a lot of family and a lot of stuff.

I’m in Burlingame right now and I was really wondering what the hell was going on. We drove past a place and I liked it, but I didn’t want to say much. We drove down a little farther and Tiff says “Hey, look shot putters.” So, I went out of my way to find the area and stopped by. The coach, Coach Lewis, used to coach at Oceana. I introduced myself and he says “I was just asking about you.”

So, that was my sign. I’m moving back to a place where throwers still throw and people love what I do. So, we celebrated at an Irish Pub with my new best friend, Declan, and I realized that maybe even if I have to leave my daughters, there is still some life in the Bay Area.

I would hate to say “I’m home,” but I certainly thought that this was a sign.

    Coach, home isn’t a big gaudy billboard, it’s a bunch of sign-posts.
    seems like you found a few of them. Good luck finding a few more.

    Dan, if you’re moving just so you won’t have to see me at any more of your workshops, you’re in for a surprise. I know where California is!

    Welcome back to California. It has been unseasonally cold, it is down to 45 at night in my area. Give a call when you have a chance.

    Pat is a great guy. He was coaching at Millbrae with his son for awhile.
    I think they have 6 shotput rings.

    Dan, we might actually get to meet again. I think it’s been since the Conference Championships in Fresno 1978. Yikes!

    Burlingame, huh? I’m not TOO far from there, maybe I could come up and watch you coach. I’m working towards a degree in kinesiology and watching a pro at work is always really educational. Plus it sounds fun. If you ever want someone to torture, talk shop, or just have a beer with, email me at dopenutz@aol.com. I know, my email address sucks. Best wishes!

    Welcome to California, Coach! I’m a Bay Area native myself. I look forward to learning from you in person one of these days!
