Thursday ticket holders get Monday golf (if there’s Monday golf)

The U.S. Open on Thursday, day one, was virtually a washout. They did play three hours worth of golf. But people paid to see twelve hours. Many of these people wanted to come back Friday, and they were not happy that they were told that would not be an option nor would they be getting any cash refunds.

The USGA announced this morning in a sane move to appease ticked-off Thursday ticket holders that those tickets would be honored Monday, if there's Monday golf.

Last year there was Monday golf, and it (too) was priceless.

ear infection

Morgan has an ear infection in his right ear. Not the first time. Common in Labradors, in part, because of their floppy ears and their love of the water. So we give him some ear drops a couple times a day for the next week and keep the ears nice and clean and all will be well. Ear medicine, office visit, heart worm medicine for 8 months, flea and tick medicine for 7 months, epi-otic ear cleaner: $196.09.

Healthy Morgan playing ball in Lake Michigan all month of July: priceless.

What???

"But the whole point of God, at least in the viewpoint of us human beings, is that He does not stand above or apart from the world. He inspires men to fight when attacked and for justice and freedom, sustains them in trouble, and consoles them in days of defeat. Indeed, the God of Our Fathers took sides and played favorites. He wiped out the Egyptians pursuing the Hebrews, to give just one example. He made a covenant with the Children of Israel; then He made a covenant with the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which turned in 1776 into a covenant with the entire United States of America, as it expanded across the continent, and even to places beyond."


As the kids say when they text or instant message: WTF!!!
