Discgolfer Magazine


A few months ago I was reading an issue of discgolfer magazine...
I'm one of those dudes that like to throw Frisbees – and read about it.


While reading, an article idea came to mind. I had been watching 
a lot of disc golf videos on YouTube and I noticed only a 
few channels exhibited quality footage. I decided I was qualified 
enough to write a sort of "how to" article in the hopes 
that more quality disc golf videos would 
begin showing up on the Internet.

I wrote up a query. I contacted the editor.

I waited.

A few weeks later, after a round at El Dorado disc golf course, I
received the call. The editor said he liked my idea and after
working out some details I went home and started working.

I turned in my final draft a few weeks later and then
I waited again.

Another couple of weeks passed and then I received it. 
The new summer issue of the magazine arrived with my two-page 
spread splashed all over page 54 and 55.

Normally I would post the text, but I'm sure it wouldn't be interesting
to most of the folks that check this blog.
So, if you want to read it then I'll let you check out the
magazine next time I see you.

Unless, I don't know you – then you'll never see my issue.
I guess you'll have to find your own. Sorry about that.

The Long-Zinn Merger

Enough talk about this wedding. Let's talk about this picture.


People say I can blend in almost anywhere, but Rob is the true chameleon.

I may be able to walk among Hawaiians, but there's no way I can pull off Axel Rose or a hillbilly hitching. When Rob shows up, Rob fits in.

You'll never see him being pushed out of frame.


The backyard Country wedding was short and fun. I believe it may have been one of the shortest ceremonies of all time. It basically went like this:

Brother tells everyone to silence their phones
"Here Comes the Bride" begins
Jeremy in full relevant wedding attire struts out
We all watch his niece, the flower girl, run away and retreat back inside the house
Keri and her brother elegantly appear
Everyone "oohs" and "aahs"
The happy couple joins hands
The officiant explains he has already taken too long
The officiant says, "do you?" and "do you?"
They both say yes
Rings
He pronounces them man and wife
The newlyweds bail
Everyone is stunned – until they realize the tacos are ready
Everyone races for the food
The drinking commences

That's it. It was all party after that. 

Well... party and a session of speeches when the Longs returned from getting their photographs taken at the park across the street.




I think this union was meant to happen.

Here are some more pictures from the rest of the day. Most taken by the Dish.
