Go Golf, Friends and Neighbors

Picture: Something grandson Lucas put together at the clubhouse one day last year while waiting for Dad to finish up on the course. He used our "write-on erase board" along with erasable markers. We love it.

Later on today I'll be posting and sending out to those of you on our email list our current signees for league play. Yes, we start next week, weather permitting. And, yes, we want more to sign up - still room. (Community League starts in mid May - reminder.)

Other stuff:

Pat Summitt surprised each of her assistants with a little post season gift: a Mercedes SLK 280 roadster. How nice it is.

Masters has started and Tom Watson and Tim Clark were leading at -1. Tiger tees off at 1:52. Eastern time? Probably. (You ready to go to Eastern time? Be able to play till 10pm during the summer here. That's cool.)

British sailors, recently Iranian captives, heading home. Wonder how many people remembered the year long forced residence of all those Americans , the Iranian Hostage crisis, back in 1979? Bad year for Jimmy Carter.

Hope you didn't miss NOVA on Tuesday night. You would have gotten to know the cuttlefish and it's habits to some extent. Did you know that they breed and die? The eggs are laid and fertilized and the adults are then sent packing having done their job of making the next generation. All nature here, no nurture. I wonder if those adult cuttlefish choosing restraint get to live longer? Heard on your local cuttlefish tv station: "Want to live longer? Just say no." Ah, abstinence. Offers more than one would think, at least in the cuttlefish domain. Another one of our fellow life forms, forgotten ancestor, remembered.

Cool and windy and the goldfinch are just outside the window here, having tea and crumpets.
