WHAT'S UP WITH THE COLD WEATHER HERE? I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS! 39 DEGREES ON THE WALK TO THE BUS STOP THIS MORNING...I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD NEED THE PAIR OF GLOVES I PACKED(AS A JOKE!)...BUT BY MID-MORNING THE SUN HAD WARMED UP TO ALMOST 70...
CALLED SOME GOLF COURSES TO SEE IF I COULD GET OUT AND PLAY...4 PHONE CALLS LATER I GOT THE "COME ON DOWN, ANYTIME" FROM A PLACE ABOUT A HALF HOUR AWAY (HIGHLAND SPRINGS)...THE OTHER COURSES I CALLED ALL HAD OUTINGS AND BECAUSE OF FROST IN THE MORNING, DELAYED PEOPLE FROM GOING OUT...(WALKING ON THE GREENS WITH FROST ON THEM KILLS THE GRASS BECAUSE IT'S MOWED SO SHORT)...HIGHLAND SPRINGS WAS A LOCAL MUNICIPAL COURSE (NOTHING SPECTACULAR BUT IT HAD NICE GREENS AND WATER ON EVERY HOLE)... THERE WERE 6 GROUPS WAITING ON THE FIRST HOLE AND I WAS BY MYSELF SO THE GUY SAID I COULD START ON THE BACK NINE... HAD THE COURSE TO MYSELF...CARRIED MY BAG, PLAYED TWO BALLS, ALL FOR $20.00!!! I FINISHED NINE HOLES, SAW NO ONE BEHIND ME AND PLAYED THE LAST 3 HOLES AGAIN PLUS THE NINTH HOLE JUST FOR FUN...
I COULD HAVE PLAYED MORE BUT IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I CARRIED MY BAG AND WALKED WHILE PLAYING (MOST COURSES FORCE YOU TO RIDE)...SO I DECIDED TO LEAVE AFTER 13 HOLES...BESIDES, I WANTED TO GET BACK TO WATCH NATALIE SWIM AT THE YMCA...CRAIG AND SHERYL HAVE THEIR GIRLS IN A LOT OF ACTIVITIES AND THEY LOVE IT SO IT WAS COOL TO GO AND WATCH...
DINNER AT BUFFALO WILD WINGS (I FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING HOTTER THAN I CAN STAND..."BLAZIN" SAUCE, THE HIGHEST HEAT IN THEIR WING SAUCE CHOICES) I HAD TWO WINGS AND THE HEAT WAS INCREDIBLE!!! CRAIG, (OLD IRON GUT) POLISHED OFF THE OTHER FOUR. ALL THE OTHER SAUCES WERE GOOD TOO...
I GUESS THE THING THAT AMAZES ME THE MOST DOWN HERE IS THE POLITENESS AND NICENESS OF EVERYONE (IT'S A SHAME IT AMAZES ME)...IT REALLY IS A PLEASURE TO BE AROUND, MAKES YOU FEEL WELCOME AND JUST MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD. THE ONLY THING IS THAT VIRGINIANS SEEM TO LOVE RUNNING RED LIGHTS! CRAIG TOLD ME ABOUT IT AND I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM, BUT I SAW IT FIRSTHAND AND IT'S SCARY! I WAS STOPPING AT A LIGHT (IT WAS ALREADY RED) WHEN A GUY CAME UP FROM BEHIND ME AND JUST BLEW THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT EVEN SLOWING DOWN! SHERYL SAID TO HESITATE WHEN THE GREEN LIGHT COMES JUST TO BE SAFE AND NOBODY BLOWS THE HORN TO HURRY UP!
NATALIE'S OFFICIAL BIRTHDAY TOMORROW (TODAY)....THESE GIRLS SURE HAVE A LOT OF CELEBRATIONS! VERONICA WAS ALREADY ASKING HER MOM ABOUT NEXT YEAR'S PARTY...TOO FUNNY.
