Friday Follies: Weather (again), etc.

Picture: dog near Jim's house who greeted me with a bark or two; he calmed down when I took his picture. Just another critter who likes to have his picture taken...

Of Note:

-When I left the golf course about 4pm yesterday, we had already received 2" of rain; got a bunch more last night. At this rate, May flowers will be everywhere...

-In case you haven't noticed: our lives have been filled with grandchildren these last several days. One thing we have found out: the rest of the world has continued pretty much on its intended path without our steady hand on the wheel (or at least our daily attention to the goings on of politicians, sports heroes and heroines, warriers, demonstrators, experts and consultants, and all the other folk who took our time and energy pre-grandkid days).

-They did play basketball last night but I forgot and didn't see the scores till later, after the movie, once the games were all over. Good to see Louisville continue; UCLA struggled but is still alive.

-Is Iraq crumbling? Short answer: yes.

-Is Hillary on her last legs? Short answer: yes.

-Is our economy, the world economy, going to withstand the seeming collapse that it is flirting with at the moment? Short answer: yes though might have to do some more flirting. But, what the heck, flirting is fun, right?

-Who's going to be the next Lion boys' basketball coach? It's hard to follow a legend even if you are good.

-And what's with the dust up in Tibet? And did I see something about 'dirty bomb' material making its way to Columbia?

Problems and concerns galore. Best stay wrapped up in the antics of two girly grandkids and the fortunes and misfortunes of early season golf. And take a picture or two along the way.
