Golf and Misc. Randos:
*I'm terrible at golf. Like I'm talking embarrassingly bad. Can't even play a casual round with friends/family without ruining the flow of play with awful shot after awful shot. I was an athletic kid at most things, i.e. football, basketball, track, but I've always been total **** at golf, baseball, and tennis. Just can't hit balls. (I also come from a family of golfers. Two of my cousins were state champions and my uncles are all pretty damn good).
*Why do the caddies dress like mechanics. All of the decorum involved, and they're just out there in coveralls? A vestige of a different time where the help needed to be kept "in their place"?
*I've always been fascinated that pimento cheese sandwiches were a part of the Augusta experience. I worship pimento cheese, so I've been looking for the recipe this afternoon.
*Has anybody in the gallery ever been effed up from an errant tee shot at a PGA event? If so, is it on youtube?
*Been getting back into hiking lately. Did a trail at Breaks Interstate Park last weekend that is basically a loop around the entire park. Walking straight uphill via switchbacks over rocks for about 2 miles was humbling. A hobby as rigorous or casual as you want to make it. Just being outside is important.
*I can't talk about Kentucky basketball anymore. I get irrationally upset about the state of things.
*A nice wok and a freezer stocked with frozen veggies is a great kitchen hack for a quick weeknight supper. Stir-fry ftw.
*I like Pillsbury cookies more than most homemade cookies.
*Most homemade cookies only taste good within 2 hours of baking. They have no shelf life.
*7 mph over the speed limit is the sweet spot. Also, I strictly adhere to speed limits in work zones, school zones, and neighborhoods. I think safety is paramount in those areas.
*Anybody else into board games? I love a good board game. Monopoly is trash, and I don't really like Clue, but I'm all in on the rest.
-I hate card games that don't involve money, though.
*I've gotten really good at leaving business related voicemails. Straight to the point. Repeat my name and number twice.
*Nintendo Switch is a lot of fun, but they just don't pump out the games like the big boy gaming systems.
