See me, I know I'm in trouble. The FIRST thing Stacey said as we were leaving Colonial Downs on Saturday was "When can we come back."
I couldn't get on my knees and propose fast enough...lol

afew very nice offers on the board..sent to ,gander, ora...thats a great thing you have done...you will win many photos ...good karma...

Thanks to the offers from everyone. I know they are heart felt and if I need to take anyone up on them, I will comfortable doing so. Also, thanks to everyones thoughts and prayers. Needless to say, I have experienced a wide variety of emotions this morning.

I have been in the golf business for 17 years in the southeastern VA/northeastern NC area. I feel confident that I have forged a solid reputation in my line of work. I will dearly miss living at the beach, but things happen. Almost 1 year ago I was laying in the middle of a field for dead, but I survived that and this will be a piece of cake compared to that. GPK will bounce back.

Get your ass up here. Tim or I will pick you up at the airport, its no biggie. Screw it, you loved it here when you visited. No doubt a local course here would hire you, 3-4 month gig while you make new plans for the future. Then theres the track, lol, as an additional hook. Scram out of there.

That's good advice. Turn this into an opportunity to do something you really want to do!

Regardless of how you proceed, I'd be willing to bet significant bucks that 12 months from now you will be glad of the change.

Good luck to you!

Kev, I am here for you no matter what happens. Keep your chin up... you will find something better in no time.

Don't worry, another job always comes along. Whatever you do, don't take an office job. Some pay great, but they are crap compared to working outside. If you are the guy with the bad back you should consider moving into the golf course maintenace jobs. My friend's father took care of a course in NY his entire life and he loved it and was doing it in his 70's. Don't know what they pay is, but it seemed like a great life.

Good luck Kev!

kev, rotten luck man, but you'll end up fine. maybe find a course here in va. also wanted to say it was a pleasure meeting you and stacie and the kids. let me know if there's anything i can do to help.

slotdirt · #12 06-19-2006, 11:52 AM

kev, I hope this means you'll be spending slightly more time up at Colonial during the meet? There is always an upside to everything, like seeing awesome turf racing more often.

Thanks Mark...really enjoyed meeting you as well. Look forward to seeing you at Colonial again soon.

I told him to move out to the Charlotte area... if he does, we could be roommates.

Thanks Deb....I'll rebound. Like I said earlier, I stared death in the face and kicked his ass last year, so this will be no problem.

Hey Kevin you remember Screech from that show Saved By The Bell? Well, they are going to foreclose on his home if he does not come up with some cash so he is now selling a shirt that says on the front Screech holding a sign saying "Save My House". On the back it says "I paid $15 to save Screech's House".

Ok so here is my idea - Kevin come up with a shirt, say "Help me make my living betting the horses" Hell I don't know but you get my drift.

here is a link, hope is brings a laugh on a bummer day
