Old Roommate Adam and I did some major golfing this weekend. I packed up the clubs and brought them down on Friday so yes, I was one of "those guys" who has their clubs in a hard case that's rolling around on the luggage carousel. Actually, my luggage was in the first 2 minutes of coming out so I was able to snag everything and run - always a good way to start a trip.
Saturday, Adam and I got up early (my body was still an hour behind) and played 18 holes at a nice course that was in great shape. Pine Hollow Golf Club where collared shirt is required. Had some trouble to begin with but was able to adjust during the round so I finished pretty strong. There were some tricky holes, but almost all of the holes were open enough and it was hard to actually lose golf balls. Unlike Meadow that I play every week and hit balls into the nasty stuff very regularly. Was perfect weather though - putted a nice par from the fringe of the green from about 20 feet...... even outdrove Adam on one par 5 (by about 3 feet but that's all that matters).
Had so much fun that we did it again on Sunday at a different course. Lots of places hidden in the trees around here. We also hit a huge farmer's market Saturday and found some great healthy food for dinner Saturday night. I discovered that I like grape tomatoes. Who knew? Also have some new ideas to try for grilling once I get home.
As for the other folks I've seen so far? Meet Frank and Carley (Frank's the rabbit, Carley the puppy).....
So the real reason I'm down here? I have two new folks on my team now in Raleigh so I'm here to meet and interact with them for the week. I fly home Friday. Wedding in Des Moines on Saturday.
So have a good week!
Haiku of the Day
What is a "Tar-Heel"?
"Demon-Deacons" and "Wolf Pack"....
I still say "DUKE SUCKS!!!!"
Entertainment of the Day - Take your pick.... new Beastie Boys album (experimental album that if you're a true BB fan, you'll recognize that it's them - but not something you'll hear on mainstream radio) - or movie... we watched Top Gun this past Saturday while preparing dinner. Good movie still after 20 years. But would be a whole lot better without the volleyball scene!!! Talk to me Goose.
Weblink of the Day - one of the funnier things I've seen in a while - Gary Coleman has been doing commercials for Cashcall. The first one I saw on TV last week was this one where it's basically him laughing and obviously high on something.... ahhhh the new lows that stars hit to make cash. Gary Coleman is 39 years old in case you were wondering.....
