Giraffes & Tennis--what more could you want?

Headed to the Living Desert this a.m. in time to feed the giraffes...they sure have a long tongue!

Lunched at the Elephant Bar...quite appropriate for Living Desert Day!

Next stop...Indian Ridge Country Club to watch Ian play in the Teaching Pro tournament...he and his partner were on center court...and won 7-5, 6-1.  Finals on Saturday...then he heads to Tahoe Donner on Monday...no rest.

Allan and I were the only ones from Tahoe...to cheer him on.

Ran into Tom Gorman...Ian's boss from the LaQuinta Resort.  For those who aren't tennis players...he was on the circuit back in the 70's; then in the 90's was the Captain of the Davis Cup team. 

Allan told him he was the next most famous person we've met here in the desert next to Arnold Palmer.  He laughed...said he wasn't quite as famous as Arnie.

And the evening wrapped up at Greg Norman's @ PGA West for Happy Hour with Jerry & Jenny...our final dancin' evening with the "Roadrunners

Another great day in the desert..../
