I have been working hard on getting ready for our upcoming tournament and not posting anything here. I've done a lot of cool dyes. Some of the stuff I like and some of the stuff the idiots and casuals will like. I found this cool Valkyrie logo that I have been cutting into sticker stamps and I've done three Valks now ( Read more... )

We got into a groove of fours where he would throw a 100 foot drive, I'd put an upshot 15 feet from the basket and then he'd miss two putts.

I had lunch with Leo today. He told me his brother died and showed me the obit from the New York Times. It was a nice big obit done by the NYT Obit staff and there was even a quote in it from Leo. Art used to be a TV game show host. His last gig was some incarnation of the Family Feud and he was the man on about eight or nine other highly ( Read more... )

After church we played Kensington. We did not play league. Jen and Sue [local pros] were preparing to tee off on one when we drove in so I said to Diana, "Hustle over there and make it a threesome," which she did, so Kelsey, Kira and I started over on letter hole D ( Read more... )
