1) Well your King finally pulled it out of his crown today on the golf course, I scored 21 points which equated to a plus three which was good enough to win today's match. I shot an 89 and that score had 6 bad holes included in it so if I could have eliminated those bad holes the score would have been closer to 80. I feel like I am so close to shooting a lights out round I can just taste it. Maybe next time but your King is just happy to be playing better golf, whether I win or not.
2) I want to thank the tanker truck that pulled onto the 390 expressway at Brooks Avenue this morning around 6:30. He pulled out at the perfect moment to block my view of the Moby Dick mouth Wegmans sushi billboard. The mouth probably became that big from nagging and hollering at her husband, the poor soul. I hope I get that lucky again the next time I head south on 390.
3) Now for the 'Getting it off my Chest' segment: My decision to skip this years 35th class reunion, after going to the 25th and 30th, looks like the right call. I will honestly admit that back in high school I was a dweeb which, since it is a notch below being a nerd, is the lowest social caste you can be in. I believe I have become quite the different person now since those dweeb days. While I am still a naturally quiet person I like to think that I am a bit more fun to be around. The group that I golf with seem to enjoy having me around but my former classmates, pretty much, do not even give me the time of day to find out. I get the old hi/bye routine whenever I run into an old classmate. I guess I am not even worth a few general 'how are you doing' questions. Today, at the golf course, there were a few of my old classmates there to play in a tournament. A couple gave me the hi/bye routine and the rest just ignored my existence. One even came into the bar, saw me and made a beeline out of the bar. Now that is cold. I once shared a few emails with one of my classmates and then when I made the mistake of saying 'let us get together for a round of golf' I never heard from that classmate again. I must not even be worth one round of golf. Oh well. What is really funny is that, when they were getting the list out of hard to find classmates, I was listed. My god, my physical address has not changed for ten years, they have my email address, a few are 'friends' on my Facebook page and I am in the phone book. I guess they didn't care to make an effort to contact me, and I was certainly in no mood to contact them. BUT I will give credit to two of my classmates who either sent me an email or a message on my page. I know that there a few others that care but for the rest of them...I won't even give them the time of day. No more reunions for this boy. I do not want to be reminded of the past anymore. I may not be the life of the party but I am not a dweeb anymore. I am a King!
4) Go away Hurricane Irene!!! The only effects from this storm in Moronica is that the sky is cloudy from the remnants of the spiral bands and the outflow and it is a bit breezy. I hope that it weakens and does not give our coastal residents too much trouble.
5) Nothing beats a pepperoni, black olive and anchovy pizza from Mark's Pizzeria. I got one Thursday and it was scrumptious. It helps calm the nerves after a hard day at work. With the way work is going I should be eating a pizza a day but not even Bill Gates can afford that and neither can my waistline.
6) My stupid bowling season starts in less than three weeks. I dread it like a person would dread the onset of leprosy. The reason that I dread it, unlike golf, is that I expect too much from myself and cannot enjoy it. The game also bores me to tears. I have achieved a number of accomplishments throughout my career and the only thing I lack to complete my grand slam is bowling a 299 game. That is the only reason I play this stupid game anymore, to complete my slam. And, since I bowl at Bedrock Lanes, I will probably never get it. It will be no big deal if it does not happen but it would be a nice to get it.
Well that is enough for today. I feel better after my rant in #3 as it is the truth and they say the truth shall set you free. Personally I would like to have better relations with my classmates but, for the most part, that will never happen and really I can live with that. This is your King wishing you a pleasant day.
