Each year for the last three I have vowed to NOT return to Minnesota in late April however, there always seems to be a compelling reason why we should make the trek in that time frame.  Well we are now in the third; wet, cold and windy May, and next year we will remain in Arizona at least until the middle of May.  With May being a pleasant month in Arizona and our own history clearly demonstrating that May in Minnesota can, and probably will be, awful the die is set.  Should we find something that requires our presence before the middle of May, we will fly back for that something and return to Arizona.  I suppose that I could blame our three year scenario on short term memory loss, being Norwegian or some other malady, but in all likelihood it boils down to a poor decision.  The first one can be excused but the two following are a mystery.  So next year I will not miss the year end three-putt party for Poncho’s Gauchos, The Renegades and The Rough Riders.  Also, I will be playing golf in late April and early May instead of looking out the window at awful weather and wondering why I am in Minnesota.
