It’s a Plook on Tour Bad News Addition
My daughters are in So Cal because their grandfather (Terri’s Dad) was put in Hospice at his home after being hospitalized for a month.
He took a fall at the end of May and has gone steadily downhill, he is 88. His mind is good but he is a big dude always was he is 6’3” and about
300 pounds.
He was taken initially to a crappy hospital in the High Desert, when my oldest daughter that works in medical research got there, she got with
Terri’s brother and said they had to get him out of there. They got him moved to an excellent hospital in Ontario but he would make progress then
decline a real rollercoaster ride.
Last week the Hospital bean counter came to them and said they had to move him to a different facility, back to the shit hole. They battled with them
and got a compromise that they would move him home (where he wanted to go anyway) and get him a hospital bed and a hospice nurse.
Both my daughters flew there (second time in 4 weeks) to help with the transition and it got him in good spirits to have all the grandkids there.
Before he made it home Thursday my younger daughter was talking to him and he asked if she thought he should give in and die, she told him if he is
ready go but if he wants to fight that is ok too.
I know why he asked that question, during my Plook on Tour days of travel I often went to So Cal and I would stop at his house to spend the night we
would have dinner and sometimes breakfast together. I was at his place many times a year over the 8 years I was on the road full time.
He and I have talked at least once a month usually more like 2 or 3 times since Terri passed, he used to ask me about my rounds of golf. He had to
stop playing close to 20 years ago and enjoyed me describing how I played.
I remember this vividly; It was 2015 we were having dinner at his favorite Mexican Restaurant and he said “You know I go to Church every day some
days 2 or 3 times, I did so much bad stuff I am trying to find a way to get into heaven with Jackie (his second wife) and Terri”.
He was a “Made Man” and did the stuff that they do, in the late 70’s a guy Terri was working for tried to rape her I wanted to go whoop him but
Terri said no my dad will take care of it, the next time we saw him he was in a wheel chair with two broken knees.
So today I made arrangements with my daughters to call and let me speak to him myself, when I did, I thanked him for treating me so well. I told him
Kat wanted to thank him for being so gracious and welcoming to her when we went to see him before we got married (he gave us his blessing) and I told
him my sister is praying for him…then I said I know you worry about how this will turn out but I assure you will see Terri and Jackie, you have done
your penance and you will be just fine.
He thanked me and we said goodbye…

Dick passed yesterday peacefully surrounded by
his grandkids as his clock chimed the half hour at 6:30 pm Pacific Time...Free at last, free at last.

It’s a Plook on Tour NorCal is Hot Update…
The forecast for the next 7 days is blistering....
Yesterday on the 4th of July it reached 114 degrees, I went golfing as I was driving at 5:50am it was 75 degrees...
When we teed off at 6:30 am it was 80 degrees...
When we reached number 3 it was nearly 85 degrees, I hit a nice tee shot on this par 3...
It was a nice day even though it was about 103 degrees when we finished at 10:30 am....
A little off-ramp this Oak Tree with the Sacramento River Levee behind it (The Course is River Oaks) is at least 200 years old, the base is at least
10 feet round...
When I got home Winnie said it was way to hot...
The good news is the Pool is open and ready for business...
Everyone stay cool...

That would be an extreme cool down in the NorCal...The temperature has dropped into the mid 90's the last 3 days and I am so heat adapted I don't need
the Air Conditioning...

We had no turkey in Turkey
Food was mediocre (budget tight ) and they served chips (fries) with everything .
