Aug 26. Annual United Way Danfoss Golf outing. The tradition behind this is mainly to get a 1/2 day off work to play golf, drink beer, and do something for the United Way. Been playing in it now for 9 years. The worst (or best) part of it is the last of the nine holes we play. All the hecklers wait around and, well, heckle you as you come in. It's a best ball game but you have to look like a pro to avoid being ridiculed coming in. Doesn't matter how well you play the first 8 (which I did well this year but nobody saw) but you have to look good on the ninth. And this year, I looked like a bag of Poo-poo. Judy won longest drive (in the fairway/women) for the 3 year in a row now. And for the first time they had raffles going on. I actually won the 50/50. $112.50 put in my back pocket. I figure I came out ahead after green fees and beers. Here's our foursome:
Handsome bunch, huh? Well, except for the guys.
Labor Day weekend:
Haven't done a damn thing all weekend. But isn't that what you're supposed to do? Saturday I went and got a haricut, filled the tank up in the VW, bought a case of beer and then sat around the house staring at the wife and cats while drinking the beer. Sunday, slept in, took a nap, raided the fridge for leftovers for dinner, went to bed. Today we might go golf. Then grill out, drink beer, go to bed. When it's all over and done with I think I'll call it a pretty good long weekend.
