I did watch it. Thatshow wasn’t a ritual for me until the lastseason. They wrapped everything up, butit was a bit oversold. You know, that showis kind of like working for the City of SanDiego every timeyou think you’ve gotit all figured out, theythrow a twist at you!The U.S. Federal Government is shutdown right now. Does that have anyimpact on you, working forthe city? And what do youthink of the whole mess?It hasn’t had a direct effecton us, no. The biggest bummer isthat it validatesthe belief that thegovernment is screwed up. I think it mayget worse as you go up, from city to stateto national.Tell me about your golf highlight.Lauren Thompson from GolfNow cameout to do a show. I was on camera andcame three inches away from making ahole-in-one on No. 3 at Torrey Pines South.They showed it on TV a couple times.What was your favorite caryou ever owned? I had a1971 Volkswagen Bus I reallyliked. I was in my early 20s, it was a funcar. It worked fine until I had to put carseats in it Exactly! I just wrote my column thismonth (see page 6) about sellingmy Z28 Camaro. So let me askyou am I making a huge mistake,or is it just a part of life? It all depends, but when you think aboutit, a Z28 is a huge pain whenyou have kids. What I think youshould do is go buy one later in lifewhen you’re rich and famous, and get onethat’s fully restored — so you don’t haveto worry about the little thingsthat are probably wrong withit by now.As interviewed by Seth Jones,October 7th, 2013.That’s the time to hit a nice shot,when the camera is rolling. Yeah,you don’t want to shank one off the hotelright then.Have you ever wanted to try outthe hang gliding that goes on bythe cliffs at Torrey Pines? You know,I’m built to stay on the ground. It sure isinteresting looking, but it’s not on theforefront of my to-do list.You do woodworking, right? How didyou get into that? I got into it primarilybecause I’m cheap. When the kids werea younger age and needed something —say, a bookcase — that’s when I was intoit. I haven’t been doing much lately.
