Like taking candy from a Baby......

We drafted for our Fantasy Football League tonight. There was supposed to be 7 of us, but Dan dropped out at the last minute. At the table, clockwise from the foreground, Jackie, Kenny, Greg, Bob, Brad, and Brian. As you can see, I didn't have much competition. With only six people, the talent level on each team will be pretty high, so I can see how they also might me a little optimistic. But, top to bottom, the starters I put on the field will dominate from week one. In a couple of days I'll have a list of players on each team and make my full league end of the season prediction!

Enough trash talk. Now to the real world. My whole season depends on my quarterback. Experts pre-season predictions would point this out as my weak spot. I'm looking for Atlanta to have a good year, and along with that Matt Ryan to have a career year. If this happens, I'm in the chips! The rest of my team is VERY strong. GO ATLANTA!

Scramble Golf Tournament at Cherokee GC

I played a scramble Sunday at Cherokee GC. We finished 1 over par. Cherokee is a very short course, birdies are readily available on the very short par 4's. We birdied one hole! I don't know why we play so bad on this course. Several times today on a par 4 we had our drive 40-80 yds from the green and couldn't get within 30 feet of the hole! The shortest birdie putt we had all day was about 12 feet. The last time we played this scramble we finished 2 over. There's just something about this course I guess....

Click on the sign at the right. You can't read it without englarging it. I just wanted to know if Julie has a sign like this at her course. I don't know where this sign is, but it must be in England because #3 wants to know if you've cooked your husbands tea?

Zombie's on Parade

Mary Lynn and I went to the Zombie Attack on Bardstown Road tonight. It was really hard to decide which pictures to post. The crowd was much bigger than last year, and last year was pretty crowded. Some of the Zombies were crawling in the middle of
Bardstown Road against oncoming traffic. Some were running around yelling, some Zombie killers running around killing Zombies. It was a wild night! The picture in the upper right hand corner is one Mary Lynn wanted me to post. He was standing out in front of Mid-City Mall and M.L. thinks he probably dresses like that all the time and was wondering what was going on tonight with all these people around here.

Bob's Nature Observatory

Hmmm....seems like all I do is post these nature pictures. It seems this time of year every morning when you go outside you walk through a spider web. Those little buggers sure are busy overnight. I almost walked through this one in the backyard when I went out to feed the birds. Luckily the angle was just right and the sun reflected off of it. I went inside and got a water bottle to spray the web so it would show up better on the picture. We really have some big webs show up around the house this time of year. Make sure to click on the picture to get a good view of the web.

Not so bad golf at Iroquois

I played Iroquois GC today. As happens sometime we started on the back nine. I shot a 38 - 40 = 78. Pretty Good, if I do say so myself. I walked the first nine, but I sweated so much I didn't think my body would take walking another nine, so I rented a cart. I've been hotter, I think, on a golf course, but I don't think I've ever sweated so much. It was pouring off me in buckets. Same with the other players. It only cost me $7.50 to rent a cart for 9 holes and it was well worth it.

I can't believe my 78 didn't win me any money. I was beaten out by Ed who shot an 83, with a 16 stroke handicap to my 10 stroke handicap. Oh well, it was a moral victory.

I hit 13 of 18 Greens in regulation (GIR) today. I've never really kept track of that but I have to believe that is a record for me. I've had trouble all summer hitting my 7 and 9 wood. Consistently hitting them off the toe and to the right. I think I have corrected it. So simple. I'm standing just a little bit closer to the ball. Duh! Why it took my so long to figure that out I don't know.

Cicada Revisited....

I was putting my golf clubs in the basement when I got home today and I saw this on the door. The shell is still there from the other day and I think Mr. Cicada was visiting. Mary Lynn wants to know how I know it's the same one. Well, I remember what his face looked like. No two cicada's look the same.

Golf at Shawnee GC Round 40 for the year!

Played my usual Tuesday Golf at Shawnee GC today. Walked 18 as usual. Much better weather to walk in today, but it was still a little hot on the back nine. I shot a 38 - 43 = 81. Probably the worst score I could shoot. Not low enough to win and not high enough to raise my handicap. I did play with the same ball for 18 holes. I don't do that very often. Oh, I guess I'd better mention that J. R. shot an 83 in case he reads this. With his 16 or 17 handicap it might win him some money.
