Brother Virg is in Tucson presently, apparently preparing the house for the arrival of Stan and Kathleen on or about Jan. 22. 
The chores must be done, because he went for a hike and the usual round of golf with neighbors and friends. Remember to double-click on the photos if you want to see 'em real big.Here's his report:
Devious duo of Dicks
When Krueger asked me if I would like to go on a nice hike with them (Dick K, Dick R. and Robertson's brother Bill) up the Baby Jesus Trail I thought it would be a nice way to get some much needed exercise.

Turns out these people really take their hiking seriously! As you can see from the picture taken from the 4-wheel drive vehicle, even the road getting there is a bit rough. The trail took us through lots of rocky areas, up a dry wash (contradiction?), and then a steep climb up this particular foothill to the objective.
The view from the final resting place is seen in the top photo.
Beat upTurns out it was all just a scheme to get me completely beat up and worn out for the next day's golf at Tucson National. A failed scheme at that as, despite my rounded appearance, I was able to survive without damage or soreness (damn close call, though).
Lehman lookalike
The Tucson National Sonoran course we played was designed by our hometown boy and Robertson lookalike, Tom Lehman. The course photos are of the signature extremely steep uphill par five, with the Devious Duo finishing up on the green.
