Earlier today I "played" in the EDGA Mid-Am tournament. The tournament is supposed to be a 36-hole test of golf for anyone aged 25 or more and with a handicap index of 8.0 or lower. It costs $80 to enter, plus cart fees if you choose to drive a cart. To make a long story […]

The wife, father-in-law, and I attended the horse races at Presque Isle downs tonight. I'm pleased to report that we came out ahead by a total of $7.80. We bet $16 on six races - two dollar bets with two double bets - and won $23.80 total. I was 4-1 (losing the first, sitting out […]

Today Carey, her brother, their father, and I attended the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic near Toledo, OH. It's an LPGA stop and has been for 25 years - though due to the current economic situation and the current commissioner, it may not be back for a 26th year. While I don't mean to take […]

I'm a bit late in commenting on it, and I'm not sure how I feel. Something like twice - including 2009 - in the past 20 years the leading scorer in the NHL (Malkin this year) didn't win the Hart trophy. But without Ovechkin, the Washington Capitals are still a joke of a team that […]

Carey read about a program in New York City that teaches kids to ride a bike. The method is called the "Balance First Method." You start by taking the pedals off the child's bike. They push with two feet - ideally at the same time - and effectively learn to "balance first" during the coasting […]

I used to love soccer. Played it for a long, long time when I was a kid - from age 4 or so right on through into high school. There's a tournament going on, and I could only manage to watch a few minutes before turning it off. Though I still think soccer requires as […]

It's an ad, but I still like it. 🙂 This win keeps feeling better and better with each passing hour. I care more about hockey (probably because I play hockey) than the Steelers, and the Penguins have faced more adversity in the past few years.

Went to a cow farm today with an "explorers" group. I was surprised by one thing: how skittish cows are of people. They don't like to be petted, though the few that did seemed to enjoy it. And cows will sniff your hand just like a dog. But their noses have a whole lot more […]

The takeaway seems to be, for me, a matter of keeping my right hand in what feels like an almost "underneath" position ((In reality it's where it should be - neither strong nor weak.)), with my right elbow pointed back at my hip, and keeping that right elbow close to my body throughout the swing. […]

What a tournament. I'll eventually get around to editing my pictures, but here's one of the winner.

Saw "Up" today (the Pixar movie). Paid the extra $2.25 per person to watch it in 3D, too! Some general comments… and bear in mind, I've only seen it once. Like an R.E.M. album, Pixar movies tend to grow on you with time as you peel through their onion-like layers: - Best 3D movie I've […]

12 down. Four to go.

Mid-80s for a lot of good golfers. Ouch. Course wasn't set up hard, weather was good.

Joe Beninati is normally pretty bad, but he gets things right here: "OH MY WORD!"
