Sunday Funnies and

LPGA Golf

In NW Arkansas where there is much rain and wet, so much so that the ladies' golf this week has been shortened to 18 holes and spectators have been banned from the concluding holes to be played today. At the moment, an amateur is leading, Stacy Lewis, and if she holds onto her lead, she'll be the first amateur since JoAnne Carner did it in 1969. Hmmm, the espn.com leaderboard says the first round is complete so that means Stacy Lewis is the winner. Cool beans for the Univ. of Arkansas star.

Update: It is over but the LPGA has declared it not an official event. Sorry, Stacy. Of course, word is that they could have played a second eighteen today (rain has stopped, course is playable), but LPGA won't back off its decision made on Saturday. Bad decision, or at least one made too early, me thinks.

Books

Have picked up one of Diane's books, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, the author of The Kite Runner which I have read and enjoyed. Set in Afghanistan and spanning the last thirty years, it should give me a glimpse of the life and times of people in an unsettled part of the world, unsettled because of invading armies and dogmatic religious fanatics and ruthless talibans.

Weather

A little steamy but overcast and we had some more rain last night. Grass is growing again.

And the golfers are out there enjoying the rather nice conditions. Eric is in the clubhouse now; Pam later; I'll be wandering around. So it goes at the moment.
