Unlike so much of the rest of the country that has suffered from sleet and ice and snow and much disruption of normal life, we here in Loogootee had a very pleasant reprieve from the inclement weather of the last three weeks. That would be inclement weather for the golfers among us. Today was dry and a little windy and very mild with temperatures getting into the high sixties. I spent the day at the golf course doing this and that while also playing nine holes first with Ken Hudson and then nine more with Doug Denson, the day's highlight being a driver-sandwedge eagle for me on hole #5 with Doug. What unexpected and welcome fun.
Darin Clements, our neighbor and a Cambodian missionary who is on furlough, was also out for a walk not necessarily spoiled by a little golf. He and his wife Diana do mission work in Phnom Penh, a city of a million inhabitants.
Seems like the weather pushed Washington news to page two. Stories like torture and torture tapes destruction. And how about the report that torture worked? Froomkin at WaPo has more on that along with a little skepticism.
And then there is this CNN report on the impact of Oprah and Bubba (Bill) on Barack and Hillary's campaigns: big advantage to the little lady...
World turns whether we like it or not. That's a good thing.
