Every evening they parole us from golf prison so we can return to our hotel to rest up for the next day of incarceration. O.K. I\u2019m just having fun, it\u2019s great to work with golf photographers and try and make their lives better, but as a story line it\u2019s pretty boring. So I\u2019m left to show you where we ate, or what the early morning course looks like. <\/p>\n
It was my pleasure last night to take Brien and
\nAbe to Dreamland, the legendary Bar-B-Que
\nplace. The original is in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
\nand then also in Birmingham, where I eat the
\nmost often. Many years ago I interviewed
\nCoach Paul \u201cBear\u201d Bryant, I asked him if he
\nloved anything as much as football? In his
\ndeep voice, he said, \u201cDreamland\u201d. I had
\nto go to this famous ribs place, and have
\nbeen a frequent visitor ever since. The food
\nis great and the Dreamland family is always,
\ndeep south, friendly. I really enjoy working with
\nAbe and Brien. Brien has been a great addition
\nto our team, I can see he is going to be a great
\nTech Rep.<\/p>\n
Above, Takayuki Abe and below, Brien Aho,
\nenjoying some great Bar-B-Que. The picture of
\nBrien with the American flag behind him is
\nappropriate since he is a many times, category
\nwinner in Combat Photographer of the year.<\/p>\n
We really are taking good care of the photographers and having great meetings with key customers, but then parole is great too! <\/p>\n
When you count your blessings, think of the rich blessings God has granted you with if you have great folks to work with, and call your friends………<\/p>\n
Blessings,<\/p>\n
