It was Tuesday night. Grasshopper No.4 was playing “league golf” at T&C country club. It was the River Course. League golf is pressure packed because you are expected to beat your opponent and win valuable points. Don’t forget about winning the year end championship. Hole No.6 is called the “river hole”. The distance is 140 yards over water. Grasshopper No.4 hit an eight iron that propelled the Titleist Pro V into the air. The ball hit softly on the green, bounced and disappeared …. into the hole. Yep it was a hole-in-one. The best part is he had 3 witnesses. It is one of those “shots of a lifetime”. The final act is to score a “1” on the scorecard. The only thing sure is that No.4 is now “hooked”. He will try to repeat the success for the next 25 years to no avail. The other thing that is sure is that he spent a lot of money as the other league golfers helped him celebrate his achievement. Ah, but what the hell. A hole-in-one is priceless.
Your Mom is on a roll. In her effort maintain “domestic goddess” status, she got a brand new dehumidifier this week for the laundry room. It goes with the vacuum cleaner and the double oven that I got her recently. Is this close to “Heaven” or what?
My favorite Son-in-law Tom has got to be concerned. His favorite internet destination, EBay is splitting into pieces today. PayPal will now be a separate company (previously EBay and PayPal were all one company). What will Tom do? Will EBay change? Will PayPal still accept his money and extend credit. Will his profitable venture on motorcycle memorabilia or high quality shoes be jeopardized. My oh my, we might have a have a crisis here.
The forecast is for hot, humid and thunder showers tomorrow night at Lambeau as Brett Favre gets inducted into the Packer Hall of Fame. For those of you joining me, bring your umbrella.
Love,
Dad
