I missed everything helping a cow-orker with a non-issue.  :cry:

Good luck on the new gig, Ali.

The powers-that-be are cutting us loose at 2 today!  Woohoo.  I think I'll shoot out to a local golf course....


That sounds lovely, particularly if there's sun shining on whatever links you decide to play. (It be foggy in SF--summer's here...) I'm hoping to grab a sack of discs and get in 18 or 36 holes of disc golf myself at some time this weekend.
Let's get right to it.

mmm...Marx Meadows, driving down from the Sierras in hmmm...1974?  arriving at MM to hear the sound of Jerry Garcia's guitar sparkling in the breeze, the notes flying all around, doing "I Second That Emotion" I believe.  Well, that's what I think of every time I drive by.

Thanks, man.  I'm playing tomorrow and Sunday too.  Should help my game to come back around.  Didn't play enough this winter, and I can't play to my handicap at the moment.  Showing signs of improvement lately, though I keep blowing up on the first hole.  Played Poppy Hills a couple weeks ago and took an 11 on the first hole, but still shot 88 (one stroke out of the money in our club tourney).
an 11 on the first hole?  Sounds like my score, losing a few balls in the creek!

We're doing Poppy Ridge on the 13th; I only played it once before, and it ate me alive.  Then on to Tahoe, and a little golf at Northstar.

THAT sounds good. That's where we spend a week at the end of August. I have yet to play their course.

[what do you mean, 'getting?']

I was ranting earlier in the day about the Chambers Bros being used in Fatboy Slim, but it was a different song!  I listened tonight, and realized my mistake.  The song I'm thinking of is "All Strung Out Over You."  So, if for some reason any of you doesn't have this album, get it.  The whole record is killer.

5/27/05 - Friday!  Back, back, back to...1968!!!

Foundations - Baby Now That I Found You
Martha & the Vandellas - Honey Chile (vinyl:  45)
Fleetwood Mac - Albatross
Simon & Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair
Chambers Brothers - I Can't Stand it (vinyl:  33)
Status Quo - Pictures of Matchstick Men
Hugh Masekela - Grazin' in the Grass
Beatles - Blackbird
Cream - Swlabr
Marvin Gaye - I Heard it Through the Grapevine (B-O-S!!)


BONUS CUT:  Doors - Love Street

Didn't lose a ball, though I did go in the hazard once.  The four putt didn't help matters....

I'm playing Poppy Ridge next Sunday.  Played Alameda today -- a lovely little 78 from the back tees.  Doubled the last hole, but I was already pretty stoked -- 4 birdies in one day!

I love Northstar, though it's been a few years.  Have a great time!
