An Unlikely Threesome

For the past couple of days we've been honored with a visit from Chris' younger brother, Brian. Brian is what we like to call the Grand Poobah of the Boy Scouts in Michigan & he had traveled to Tucson for a conference. Luckily enough he was able to add a couple of days to the end of his trip and come stay with us! It's been loads of fun...it would have only been better if his wife, Coco, and their three handsome boys could have joined him.

Yesterday the brothers decided to enjoy a leisurely day of golf.

According to the story, Brian was about to make a hole-in-one when Chris spotted a javelina ten feet from the tee box. He called out to alert Brian, who bravely whipped out his Blackberry and snapped a picture of the villainous, wild pig-like creature.The javelina, obviously terrified by the manliness & ferocity of not one, but TWO Nastase men, ran off quickly.

A short time later, our hero noticed it again, snuffling & grunting as if in warning. Sure that there was imminent peril, he valiantly grabbed his nine iron, yelled "en garde!" and shuffled, sword-fighter-like towards danger. Thankfully the javelina knew he'd met his match and retreated. The brothers resumed their golfing and were able to leave safely, in order to return and face their foe sometime in the future.
