I’ve now started using the firefox “Unsorted bookmarks” folder; if anyone knows how to make the ^d keyboard shortcut default to that folder, I would love to know!

Catchup blogging
It’s the first of the month; time to clear out that folder (though I’m now using the “unsorted bookmarks” folder in foxmarks…
Also, the job has been keeping me rather busy, so expect a shorter list:

A Mean Golf Swing, And An Uncle Named Tiger : NPR
A gay wedding, but a straight honeymoon.
So, the floodgates will soon open in Iowa. (You had your chance, Fargo…)
We have an Albertson family reunion in Iowa. We get married while we’re there. Check Cy’s input off the list.
For the honeymoon, we re-enact “The Straight Story.” My sensibilities will be sated.
Oh, no tractor, no deer (except perhaps as meat). In honor of keeping the pace, we stop whenever G wants to. Maybe she gets to remember when she first stopped fearing thunder. No, not the cat.
Even though I was at the coast instead of golfing this weekend…
Insane 1410-Ft Par 3 Must Be Seen to be Believed
Golf fun
Today we went golfing again. Cy got a birdie on 16 with a fantastic chip-in from 30-35 yards out, now quite as good as last week when I actually managed to par 17 – honestly!

Again, she opens her mouth, and I hear myself…
This time, it made me laugh for two minutes:
We often tell her
Drop the attitude, save some for your teenage years.
And today she told us to
Drop the attitude, save some for when you are grandparents
I am so busted!
Great day golfing
After we all got on the green in an almost perfect line that reminded me of 2001, I got my first par on a par 5 hole ever. Honestly!
I have my swing back, but just for my irons.? I cannot hit a hybrid or a wood for shit this year.
Perfect weather — if only Grace’s allergies were not making her eyes swell…
