Time Shares Work but Take Work


I finally had a 3 on a par 3 hole. Here I am triumphantly holding my purple ball. This is the 17th hole on the Penninsula Jack Nichlaus course.




Yes, Raphael came through and even gave us the $10 difference between what we had paid and should have been able to pay for a round of golf.


Still the impression that we were going to get the cost of our upgrade out of renting units here and other lovely spots in Mexico, is "spin" to pull us in or b.s. according to Harry Frankfurt, an emeritus professor of philosophy at Princeton. In his book On Bullshit, he establishes the premise that "spin" or b.s. is worse than lying for the person doing it, because in time they no longer know what is true or false but believe their made up series of not lies but fantasy versions of reality. Then this is a distorted version of reality for others to make decisions and bad for your soul!


The real helper here at Puerto Penasco, has been Susie Parker, Member Services. She has given us tips on use and potential rentals which I am going to work at. We enjoy our time-shares--and would anyone out there like to rent a suite with a kitchen and separate bedroom (sleeps 4) for a week or two on the ocean at Acapulco, Mazatlan, Cancun, Puerto Penasco, Puerto Vuerto, or Nuevo Vuerto?


For all of you whom I bought Christmas gifts for see picture of Harley Davidson pants at the top of this blog. These beautiful black stretch pants, with "Harley-Davidson" in rinestones across your bottom--could have been yours! Sadly, I did not think they would look quite right swinging down the street on anyone on my list.

Rev. Pam: I assume that you bought at least one Harley Davidson for Fr. Harley (or the Bishop). Sounds like you had a great time. Hope to see more photos from there. Kaze
