1) Well, stop the presses as your King did it again today in golf...well sort of. My point total to hit today was twenty. I finished with 23 which is a plus three and ended up tied for first, with my good friend Auggie, out of a full field of twelve players today but now my point total goes up to twenty two and that is a tough number for me to reach. Unless I really go nuts I have probably won for the last time this year but that does not matter as I just want to play well. It has taken over two years for my game to return to the level it was at prior to my ill fated marriage and I want to keep it there and hopefully, maybe, improve on it. If I EVER make that mistake again my next wife WILL golf.
I played some of my best golf of the year on the front nine and carded a forty one. Only a double on the ninth hole, thanks to a bad break, kept me from breaking forty for the first time in ages. I also made some lengthy putts to save points on at least three holes. An eighteen footer on two and a twenty footer on 14 saved pars. But the point saving twenty five foot putt on five was the sweetest. My game seems to be rounding into some kind of form but I still have those few nightmare holes each round which prevent me from having a lights out round. I am getting closer though. Maybe next week.
2) Hurricane Irene gave us a bunch of clouds and a lot of wind today, which made the golf match even more of a challenge, but that is all. We did not get a drop of rain but the rain shield was fifty miles to the east of us so we barely stayed dry. The northeast wind it brought was quite refreshing and made my outdoor work at my castle quite tolerable though it still sucked picking up all of the little twigs from the lawn prior to mowing it. I guess that comes with having a royal forest in the Kingdom.
3) I was unlucky today on route 390. I got stuck having to see the Moby Dick mouth Wegmans sushi billboard as no tanker truck came to my rescue today. I still cannot believe how big that woman's mouth is.
4) A few months ago, when I went to Myrtle Beach, I had the opportunity to go parasailing for the first time. I did it on the last day of my vacation as I hemmed and hawed with myself over whether I wanted to do it or not. I decided to be brave and not chicken out and boy did I enjoy it. I had a great view of the beach and the ocean while I was in the air and it was nice and quiet. I spent about fifteen minutes aloft by myself and it was well worth the money.
I would write more but the royal laundry is done and I need to take care of it. This is your King wishing you a pleasant evening
