I wish that teenage version of me (complete with my 72 years of experience and knowledge) still existed!!! :)) I still golf and I still skate (although I've given up playing hockey) about 4 times a week in each of the respective seasons. I'm very fortunate that I have been able to continue to do these two passions and enjoy them at a "respectable" level of competence.

Mary Anne and I are so looking forward to our next visit, and this one being to a new part of Italy. I read an article earlier today about Matera and it has heightened my level of interest and intrigue even more. More reading over the next few months, in preparation and anticipation. Have an amazing Christmas and best wishes to you and your family for a happy and healthy 2026!

“The thing you do obsessively between age 13 and 18 is the thing you have the best chance of becoming world-class at.” I'm sure it works for some people and I wish it would have worked for me. If it were always true, I would have either been a professional golfer or an NHL hockey player! The April excursion that you and Adele have teamed up on looks absolutely amazing. Mary Anne and I are looking forward to another amazing and very relaxing week in southern Italy!

Hi Ken! Isn't that interesting though, that even if you didn't become a professional golfer or hockey player you still love, and play (if I remember well...) golf. That teenage version of you still exists :)

You cannot even image how excited I'm for the Basilicata tour. Adele's idea was so brilliant!! I really hope you'll love it!
