Breakfast, or what passed for breakfast, at the Residence Inn in Tallahassee. At 7:45 or so. There wasn’t much left because the breakfast area was full of a bunch pre-teen obnoxious, loud little food hogs. Ate some eggs and home fries and had some coffee and took off for my very first gold lesson.
Arrived at Hilaman Park for my golf lesson with Bill Zimmer. Mr. Zimmer walked and I walked to the range and he should me how to hold the club and I hit a bucket of balls with some success. I used a three, six, and eight iron. After the lesson was over we went back to the club house and Mr. Zimmer have me a seven iron that someone had left behind (my very first golf club) and another bucket of balls, so back to the range to hit the extra bucket and again with some success.
Back to the hotel, had a shower and a nap and I went shopping. Bought some badly needed sport socks. And then I went to the mall and bought two pair of kaki, kaki colored shorts. Then back to the hotel
6:30 or so Ed Winn, someone I met through Harry James (Harry is one of contacts at the state of Florida in Tallahassee), Ed also has a MINI Cooper Cabrio (CR/B ’05). Anyway Ed called and told me about a hot rod show at a What-A-Burger on Thomasville RD. Since I was just sitting in the hotel doing nothing I drove over to the show and I saw some very nice cars. A few were a 68-69 Cuda, a 68 Buick GS, 64 Ford Fairlane, and a few 40s and 50s Dodges, Fords and Cadillacs. Ed’s brother had a very, very nice 32 Ford Coupe (yellow fiberglass body and in great shape) he also said he didn’t do any of the work and had 60K invested (YIKES).
Supper at Lucy Ho’s. I thought the meals were expensive, but I believe I had the best Kon Pow Chicken I have ever had. I love Chinese food and if I have a choice of ethnic meals its Chinese for me and I have eaten in many Chinese restaurants in many cities and last night’s meal may have been the best. I’m sure I’ll visit Lucy Ho’s again.
