The weather today is relatively nice, though a bit hot for mid-October. I guess I should get used to that as it seems it’s just going to get hotter as we continue to cook the planet to a nice crisp. Imagine all that Alaskan coastline that could someday be prime property for beach homes…
Still, a round of golf might be in order this weekend, a chance to test out the new putter in the vain hope that my putting problems have all been my old putter and not pilot-error. Taking up golf has been a pleasure and a challenge (and a growing obsession) that I’ve very much enjoyed. I hadn’t ever realized that it’s an insanely mental game. The difficulty is that there’s too much time to think about what you’ve got to do. I wonder if someone were trying to tackle me as I was about to shoot, would I make better shots by just letting my muscles do the work without being second-guessed by my mind? I suppose that’s my favorite thing about golf, other than being outside: it forces me to clear my mind, which of course is very rejuvenating and a fine way to spend a weekend morning.
Watching UT paste Colorado should also be nice, if a bit dull.
Ok, so this is not a Post of Great Significance. It’s mainly an attempt to post via email to see how this goes.
We lost Zephyr to cancer a month ago today, and that’s kind of what’s on my mind. The house is quieter as our cat and other dog don’t make nearly as much noise since they don’t tend to follow anyone around the way Zephyr did.
