Midweek Musings

Tweet

Scar has one of his agents here at my house, taking over. He was at the door yesterday, meowing for food. I dutifully obeyed. This morning he met me at the garage. Thankfully I had a can of food in the garage and gave him his wishes. It won’t be long before he’ll be picking and choosing (“No, not the chicken, I want the tuna pate”). It’s hard to accept that the days are getting shorter here. We’ve lost half an hour of daylight since July 1st. Meanwhile, the people in the Southern Hemisphere are celebrating that their days are getting longer. I’m hoping to take a couple of days for a trip to the Smokies or somewhere nearby. Our next tournament is in Kingsport, Tennessee, and I want to go there (even though I’m not playing this year) for support. Some of the southern tour players (from North Carolina) may be there, too, and it would be good to see them. The week after is the Legends tournament. As I’ve won that tournament twice, I feel obligated to be there, even if I’m not participating. Plus, I love the owners of that course. They’re getting old now, and they may sell the place any day, so I’ll be there and celebrate their great hospitality and friendship over the past 22 years. My first-ever victory (in the novice division) came there, and that’s where I won my state title. Additionally, the only national tournament I’ve ever played was at that course, ten years ago. It was then that I saw just how great the competition is in this game. I only placed in one tournament, the Senior Open. (The cool thing was I had to prove I was over 50 to be able to play in it! ) I hope y’all have a great evening!
