Plus, we have a standing lunch scheduled each week … yes,  38 years of lunches too.

For thirty five years we have taken a trip to ski country …  mostly Colorado.  Then three years ago, with some of us skiing less, we decided to try our February trip in a warmer place.  This year, 2017,  was our third year in warm and beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona. As you will see in the pictures below, we spent much more time outdoors … even though it was actually a bit cooler in Arizona than in Arkansas.

Taliesin West … if you have not visited this Arizona home of iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright, you are missing a rare opportunity to peer inside the man and his architecture. This is my second tour and I’m certain I will return.  One significant modern day fact is there are more than 20 Fellows that are studying architecture at Taliesin.

Then there was Golf, Bocci, pool, short walks … and, most of all there was Guy time … Happy hour, making meals, reading poetry, talking politics and enjoying the most important part … time with friends.  Truly this friendship is one of the most meaningful parts of my life.

Oh … I forgot to mention, my buddy, JC, and I stopped off and skied one morning at Santa Fe Basin.  My first time in over 10 years.  Simply awesome!!!
