Do I look 37? Because I am

Turned the big 3-7 last weekend. Celebrated with family, and it was good. We ate, and ate some more. Got some roasted chickens from Costco to cutup and eat, three of them to be exact. I cut up a pretty good chicken, if you ask me. Also made a hashbrown casserole and my mom and Mimi brought me a cake from Costco. I'm now older than my Mimi was when I was born, that does kind of make me start feeling older. Great-grandma Clark was there too, she will be 98 in a couple of weeks (Aug. 26). And really she doesn't look hardly a day over 90. I have included one of my favorite photos of Grandma Clark. This was taken seven years ago and she does pretty much look the same today.

The Worlds has come and gone

The PDGA Worlds Pro and Am (disc golf) tournament was held in Kansas City last week, and now it is over. I did not play, but instead caddied for Matt Petre, he finished near the bottom in the Men's Advanced (amateur) division, but we had a lot of fun hanging out and catching up. We hardly ever get to hang out anymore, so it was a fun week. Too bad he didn't play better, but as the saying in disc golf -- the most fun wins! Caddying for disc golf is really not a big deal, but it's a good walk, and we have some of the most beautiful courses to play here in KC. He played Water Works on the first morning and it was raining. We played with the eventual champion that morning, Matt Keatts, a pretty nice guy from N. Carolina. That afternoon, he played Wyco, which is a fairly long and challenging course. Wednesday, we played my home course that morning, Prairie Center (Olathe) and Shawnee Mission, and we played Shawnee Mission again Thursday morning. Friday, he took on the monster of all courses, Blue Valley. Matt shot a respectable 81, he was hoping for 80 or under, but I believe that an 81 was a descent score. On Saturday we watched the finals at Blue Valley, and Avery Jenkins was the eventual winner in the Open division. Congrats to AJ, he's a good guy. His sister, Val, took home the top women's honor, her third World Championship. Hats off to Val, too. Next time the Worlds comes to KC, I'm definitely playing. Peace!

New Year, New Post

So maybe i didn't keep an earlier resolution to blog more. Maybe I made it my resolution to start this year; maybe I didn't. OK so actually I didn't, so if I don't blog more I don't break my resolution. i hate breaking resolutions.

2009 has happened upon us, it found my well-fed and warm in a happy state. Food glorious food flooded the counter tops and drinks were flowing as well. I lost a sentence as I spoke but no worries needed, those words had not coherent meaning. I found meaning by looking directly into people's eyes. They were cowards and would not look in my eyes; the fear they showed by not looking into my soul directly was noted.

I'm still struggling with what to post. I can't write about me, so I must either write about you or famous people or politics or sports. If you can give me a clue as to what you think I should write about then let me know. I could write about what I have done on Facebook, but that wouldn't be much and isn't that what Facebook is for. I could write about the food I eat, which is plenty. But do you really want to read about my diet. I could write about my disc golf abilities, which are limited. I played in a mini tournament yesterday at Prairie Center Park in Olathe, and while I had fun, I didn't win. But I will say it again, I had fun. The wind died down and the sun was out ... I paired up with Rick and Will; we shot one over, which is not great for this kind of scramble, but all in all ... like I said, I had fun. It's a fun game, with lots of challenges.

It's a new year, a new blog, a new start, a beginning without end. Shalom.
