Golf, the Universe, and Everything

For the past few months, the blog has been more about "The Universe and Everything." Yesterday, it was about golf again. A big shout out to my lovely wife for holding down the fort and giving me the pass to golf for the morning! I even made it back home before noon as per the agreement :). A great day to be out on the course enjoying the weather and the company of good friends. I don't know what I missed more, the golf or the camaraderie... Either way, it was good seeing Clint and Brandon again, both about to embark on new phases of their lives. Brandon about to have a little one of his own very very soon, and Clint making big moves, his house being the biggest! Even though the golf wasn't the greatest, the catching up was indeed the best part. But I would be remiss if I didn't give you the blow by blow. The place: Laurel Hill. Walking up: Now that we are in the Coronavirus reality, some things have definitely changed. Checking in was a breeze, which conside...

Hello Friends, Some exciting news in the world of golf. But first a shout out to my good friend, best man, and godfather of my son and his lovely wife for driving all the way from Washington DC to deliver some delectable confections (Courtesy of the Rose Avenue Bakery ) to the wifey and me for our birthdays / anniversary! Ube Brioche with Ube Butter, Guava Pie, and Passion Fruit Donut (Nom Nom Nom) Honestly the world is a better place with Hino and Donna in it. But somehow everyone else will be about 10 pounds heavier if they keep this up :). So two exciting things things in the world of golf. The Match II featuring Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, a G.O.A.T. and a retired QB. Hopefully it is a lot better than the first match. Maybe Tiger and Phil can learn to loosen up a little bit and have fun instead of treating this like life or death... But you don't have to twist my arm to watch Tiger Woods in action... 3:00 PM, be there or be square! The other exciting thing, the re...

I've basically stopped watching the news. Not that it's all depressing, but there are some stories that just do nothing but raise my blood pressure... Albert Einstein once said, "The only difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." My main form of news is Twitter, because I still have a random shot of getting some good news and a couple of cute pictures. But every now and again you come across something that just makes you question reality. This week's mindbender, Murder Hornets... You're Honestly Kidding Me! Better known as Asian Giant Hornets, they are the world's largest hornets. These "insects" (little flying monsters) can grow up to two inches long and are capable of slaughtering entire colonies of bees and even killing people. And where have they landed? WASHINGTON EFFING STATE! But just when you thought you were safe on the east coast, guess who's coming to dinner? Can I bring 100,000,000 of my ...
