Oh, it's going to be a long season

Just back from the Bomber game, and man, it's going to be a long season. We're 0-2, and haven't looked good in either game. Tonight the defense looked OK, but they did give up two HUGE plays for TDs: a long run, and a 105 yard pass play that was only about 10 yards in the air.

We're still unsettled at QB. Kevin Glenn started last week, but was hurt, so Tee Martin started this week. He's been in camp since mid-season last year, but Martin wasn't especially impressive tonight. He took a long time to get off the ball, and was sacked several times. Maybe that was the OL's fault, but it doesn't inspire my confidence.

And beers are now $6!

Bad news all around.

Batman Begins well and ends well

Just saw Batman Begins. It's quite good. His origin is really nicely tied together, and the acting is good too.

You have to suspend plenty of disbelief, of course, as it is an action film so many things are blown up real good.

Actually, one thing I was thinking was that some of the fight scenes involve such quick cuts - from one view to another to another - that they could just be tapping each other and I wouldn't be any the wiser. I wonder if the quick cuts mean less fight orchestration - and hence less fighting, even though the cuts make it seem like the fighting is more intense.

Early morning rain

A little rain early today didn't stop me from golfing with Jeff, who was in town for the weekend. We were the first people at the Canoe Club, because of the rain and just about the only people on the course during our round.

I shot 51 today, but I beat Jeff, who had 53. He did take my money though in our par three game (rules: you have to drive onto the green and make par; if more than one person drives the green, only closest to the hole has the chance to win; if no one drives the green, then it's a carry over).

But it did take a second go round of the 'back 4' before one of us drove a green. I drove the ball far enough a few times to make the green, but my aim was off.

I see a great gazebo

Doesn't that look like a good place for a gazebo? (don't ask about the orange bags; I'll just angry; no, no, really).





View from the street.

Desire to be outdoors

I need to create a patio or deck or gazebo or some place where I can sit outside in my yard. I'm thinking it might do to put a little place next to the neighbor's garage. I haven't put in any plant there or anything, so I think I could fit something in there.

When I was a kid there was a sandbox there for me and my friends for awhile. Many toy trucks, cars and army men were buried in the sand.

First golf day

Went golfing for the first time this year at the Canoe Club.

It was a great day. Got a bit sunburned.

And I shot 48. First time I've broken 50.

Woo hoo!

Didn't make any pars but hit the ball pretty well, and made some good putts.

Premiere

This is the start.

Now, on with the show.

This is it.
