Well here we go again. It's Tuesday night, and I feel like writing about a couple of things I like to do. In my spare time I can usually be found out on a stream trying to trick a rainbow or a brown into taking a meal on a fake bug. I usually have pretty good luck but the last time I was out the water was really high on the Platte river, and I actually was carried down stream a bit, and yes I filled my waders. Now if you can all stop laughing for a second, I will tell you that my favorite thing to do is take rookie fisherman on a trip and get them on a fish. This year I have taken two. My brother-in-law Keith(who is green but not a rookie) was pretty successful on his trip, and we had a great time. I also took Jake Dietchler(one of my teammates) to a very secluded area where you get plenty of chances, but ol Jake didn't feel like catching any that day. Oh well... So far everyone I have taken whether it's my brother, Russ, or my friends from the east coast, Jay Antonelli and Todd Beckerman, they always seem to have a great time. It's a great adventure and no one has ever complained about the beautiful Colorado scenery.
I also enjoy swinging the ol wrenches out on the golf course. A favorite place for the athletes from the OTC to play at is Patty Jewitt Golf course. Yesterday, I played with Sean Stender, Mark Rial, and Robbie Smith. Watching Robbie tee off is always eventful, because he could drive it 300 yards down the fairway or the ball may take the craziest bounce and come back and hit him in the gut. No matter who plays, it is always a great time and very relaxing from the confines of our sport.
Well training is right on schedule. I leave for San Jose on Wednesday for two days and then off to Beijing on Friday. I am so excited for this tourney that I can't even express my emotions. I believe it is going to be a great experience, and I have never been as prepared for a competition as I am now. Time to let go and perform. Let's wrestle.
