peanut butter and jelly on a warm toasted english muffin. can't go wrong.

Just had that with fresh raspberry jam. Yum.

Working on my short game a lot. Trying Stan Utley's suggestions for putting and chipping. After 5 rounds this summer, my team, the Flying Squirrels, are 5 up over my brother-in-law's team, the Whales. We keep giving them strokes. My nephew (teammate) keeps knocking down pins.

Walking and riding my bike more than ever. My wife and I biked to Memorial Bridge Saturday and caught the fireworks. Nice breeze up there and not crowded at all.

Saw the new Johnny Depp film last week. Liked it. Other family members gave mixed reviews.

raspberry jam is so good

must be nice to be beating the brother-in-law. i suspect most bridge players tend to be on the competitive side. i know i am.

golf is a very frustrating game to me. one would think it'd be relatively easy to get a little ball to go where you want it to go. i, meanwhile, spend most of my time looking for the ball in bushes or in some obscure place far, far away from where i wanted it to go. if golf was about hitting your ball into large bodies of water, they'd call me tiger.

How do you even see where the ball goes lol.

On that note, am I old enough for lasik? A few years ago they told me I was too young.

First question, if it's in the fairway or sand or green it's easy to see where it goes, if it's in the rough or the forest you get an approximation and waste your time looking, if it's in the water you curse and abandon it.

Second question, I thought someone had to be 21 but I could be wrong. I also remember your prescription has to have stayed the same for at least 6 months so if you are still getting worse you shouldn't do it.

I am surprised that scrabble and chess the other two addictive mindgames arent mentioned here.I play and love both the games as much as bridge.

I mentioned chess. Didn't mention Scrabble, but I also play that (though no longer an NSA member). In my experience, people who are good at both chess and bridge overwhelmingly prefer bridge (which isn't to say that chess isn't a great game, too).

I play Airsoft, hell I even have/run a shop of airsoft items with a couple of friends, and have been working on an airsoft field.

About online games... When I was 20 I was adicted to counter strike (adicted on the sense of having a BIG problem), 10 hours a day for like 3 months, Luckilly my adiction costed me no money and no health at all.

I avoided WOW for this reason. But I have played more than 200 hours of online Warcrat3 (and AOE, and quake, and Blood Bowl)

Nowadays playing a couple of webgames, I recomend www.velmad.com for people with real patience (1 turn a day), and yes, quake live (quake 3 arena reedied only for online purpses).


If you like videogames I recomend looking at speeddemosarchive.com

Scrabble is no fun when you're married to the #2 player in the world.

Even if you do win she then sulks for two weeks.
