Sunday Funnies

The Guys in the Bigs Play Well

-Barry Bonds ties Hank Aaron's home run record. Super cool. Major, major achievement. Barry portrayed as almost a regular guy here. Well, he's almost a regular guy but wearing the King of Swat crown. Temporarily sharing it with Hank; don't expect that to last very long.
-Lorena Ochoa up by six at the British Open; 18 holes away from getting her first major. Not a lock by any means but I wouldn't mind being in her shoes as play starts today.
-Rory Sabitini loving the chance to get Tiger Woods in the final pairing, leads by one when Tiger drops a shot at the eighteenth hole. Brash, brash young man. He sure did play steady yesterday; as did Tiger. Loved the graphic that showed Tiger playing one under for the day while the next several contenders played at twenty-one over. My oh my.

Other Stuff

-the golfers in the pictures posted yesterday are all SAIC scramblers. Low score was -14; Tyler's foursome came in at -9 which is about one more birdie from the -8 he posted in half the holes just a bit ago in one of the Saturday morning scrambles.
-we got a teensy bit of rain out here last night; could use a bucket or two more. A gently tipped bucket.
-expect the world kept turning on us last night though time did stop in our kitchen with the power off just briefly. Diane and I both appreciated the brief halt in life's seemingly hurried and sometimes far too busy schedule.

Heading to the golf course. It's lovely at the moment - it might be a perfect time to get in a few holes. BTW, without golf yesterday morning, my day seemed to last forever; had these extra four hours you see. Made for a twenty-eight hour day. Quite the thing; I'll take a few more please.
