my surgery went smoothly. 10 minutes prep, 15 minutes local, 15 minutes rest. All at the doctor’s office. One word: Scalpel-less. Do no other procedure. Laying here now in the basement watching blu-rays and icing on/off. Even with Tylenol 3’s, Iron Man 2 was intolerable and Anne Hathaway’s Passengers is abysmal. I’ve had to get… Read More »
OK, I’m not super excited, but at this moment, right now, I’m BARELY ahead of my competition this week (71.1 – 69.9) to win a HUGE upset in my FFB league. I shouldn’t even believe I have a chance but…WOW I do. There’s 2 min left in the game and I’m up by one reception.… Read More »
To more or less close out the golf season (except for the slim chance that the stars align for an unexpected November round) – Pat, Robbie and I had a golf weekend outing using Pat’s cottage north of Wiarton (along the west coast of the peninsula) as the home base. Pat recently purchased this cottage… Read More »
After a hard fought inaugural season of the Finders Keepers Rotisserie league, I finally came out on top. This is the first year of keeper league that is based on contracts to define the ability to keep players from year to year. There are a lot of kinks to iron out in order to prevent… Read More »
It was a year ago at this time when I won the league final last year shooting even to win the day. But overall, only good enough to finish outside the top 5 for the season. This year I was coming in hot and looking to move up from 4th to maybe taking the title?… Read More »
On league night Monday, I reached the ‘Zone’ where peace and tranquility result in effortless shots that were bang-on. I shot a 2-under 68 on Goose-Moors at Conestoga. Between 9 on Goose and 5 on Moors, I had 6 consecutive birdies! The final birdie was on the 180yd par 3 on Moors. I struck a… Read More »
If you’re interested in a fun time, I recommend going to see ‘Rock of Ages’, the new musical playing in Toronto. If you’re an 80’s fan, and in particular the hair bands of the 80s, then you will get a big kick out of this show. I won’t say much around the plot because, well,… Read More »
This summer has been one of the hottest that this old man can remember. I think it’s going to be a sad day when I start to feel the chill in the air in the mornings and at nights. It has been so hot during the day that the nights have been awesome. Never a… Read More »
Well a few weeks ago, and rightly so, I mentioned my game stinks. Well, it stinks less since I realized I hadn’t been shifting my weight to the front on contact. Now it is shaping up. Last week I won low gross in the league and in the past 2 weeks I’ve won skins that… Read More »
We go up to Wiarton with Sonia’s parents, cousins, aunts/uncles every year to the same location from Friday to Monday. We arrive at about the same time each year in about the same order. We have the same dinners on the same nights: pizza making on Friday night hosted by Sam, potluck on Saturday. Homemade… Read More »
