En route to Detroit

I blog to you from above the clouds as our flight begins in Vegas via Chicago and on to The Motor City for the 2011 Senior Trials.   The last time Bobby played was in Las Vegas two years ago (with a similar team – Dan Morse,  Fred Hamilton, Arnie Fisher,  Paul Swanson and John Solodar) where they emerged victorious but lost in Sao Paulo.   This week the latter two will be replaced by Richie Schwartz (Captain) playing with Lew Finkel.   Entries closed with eleven teams but to probably round out the movement. the powers that be added a twelfth team (Deutsch with Zia and Co.).  It begins Monday, June 6th and figures to be an exciting week starting with a round robin and concluding with a knockout (with all sorts of double eliminations in between). 

My good fortune has afforded me much universal exposure but I’ve never seen a real windmill close up, so I’ve got my fingers crossed to set foot on Dutch soil this winter as USA1 or USA2.
