Miscellaneous Missives

Wednesday is my golf day, and tonight was the first night of the season. I was greeted with the regular boy in the pro-shop saying, "Back for another year?" "I think so," I replied. I greeted the guys, and my tee shot was good. As we waited on the third tee, I asked, "Isn't anyone going to ask me if I went to the driving range to practice before I played today?" "No. Did you?" "Of course not, but I like it when you guys ask me. It makes me think that you believe I can improve and have the initiative to do so." At least they admitted my first tee shot was good, and my other shots weren't too bad. It went downhill from that point.

Although most of the time I don't feel as though I am the chosen one, lately I have realized it to be true. My spring clothes don't fit which would typically be a problem. I have returned to the gym and am doing the best of my ability (not great... I love sweets) to watch what I eat. Since I am the chosen one, the weather has completely cooperated. My winter clothes work well with the unruly weather. Because I am the chosen one, spring is waiting for me to lose five to ten pounds. How else would you explain this cold and wet weather?

I love the song Creep, and I love Prince. Supposedly Prince liked the song after hearing (playing) it on Rock Band for his PS3. Maybe he'll learn more rock songs from Rock Band and cover them. Seeing Prince in concert is one of the things I would love to do before I die! It would definitely be on my bucket list.

I will admit that I watch too much of the draft. Dad was bored by the end of round one, so we watched a movie. IMHO the Rams' grade is a B+, and I am a fairly easy grader. Chris Long is a solid pick, but who is this WR from Houston? Yes, I also realize most people who read my blog didn't even know the draft was this weekend, and some don't even know there is a draft.

There is another goose sitting on her eggs on the DNR ground next to Dad's land. She's next to the road and gets more traffic. In my opinion, the other goose has a more comfortable situation. Dad cleaned my golf clubs in return for the planting. I think this is a great deal!!

I woke up to see snow, albeit only a dusting. We waited for the snow to melt before we added thirteen bags of rock, nine raspberry bushes, and three apple trees to Dad's landscape. It wasn't as bad as I had imagined, but I was glad to have my boots for the mud. My boots also made a trip down the muddy road to see a mama goose sitting on her nest. The scope is set up inside to watch her moves, but it was fun to get close. Double click on the goose... she's looking at us!

Moveon.org sent me a link to vote on videos days ago, but I opened it too late to vote. After looking around on the internet, this might be my favorite although not the winner. I'm fairly certain the winner is at http://obamain30seconds.org/vote/?v=view-1675-2meM6f Both are worth a look. A vote for change, how can that be a bad thing?
