Saturday Golfing at Lakeview

Saturday Scrambles

Last year's Grafton Scramble had about twenty players. Would love to have thirty-two of them this year. They shotgun at eight this morning; Manager's Scramblers go off five minutes later. Expect plenty of room.

This and That

-The French movie which is in two parts that we started watching yesterday, is very good. Will watch the last hour of the near four hours later today. (Jean de Florette/Manon of the Spring)
-Received in the mail a new book and have started it: Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress. Movie on my queue at Netflix; want to finish the book before the movie arrives.
-Wilbon on the Michael Vick story. I have not been reading up on this story, just catching a headline now and again, though Wilbon makes the point that Vick is going to be more widely condemned for killing dogs than he would have been for wife beating. About right in our society. Dog breeders had better watch out; no thinning allowed. Of course in the beef business, or any other livestock business, the undesirables go to the slaughter house. And in countries where dogs are part of the people diet, Vick would just be part of the food production business. Oh well, so it goes, Michael. Guess there's nothing for you to do but grin and bear it.
-Reggie decides not to make a NBA comeback. Not the body that's holding him back but rather his mind set. Good for Reggie making the right decision. Does remind me of the glory days of the Pacers though. Just a couple of years ago.

Time to get ready for the golf course. See you at that place just up the road and around the corner in just a bit. Bring your short game as there is no problem in getting up near the green with the dry and hard fairways.
