What do you think of these Caricatures? Who are they?

Golf at Iroquois GC on Thursday

I played Iroquois GC today, my 57th round of the year.  I shot a 43 - 40 = 83.  Didn't play that well but I can't complain about an 83.  I walked today, but we had a cart in our foursome and I caught a ride every once in awhile, so I didn't walk a complete 18.  It was a little cool when we teed off around 10:30, but it heated up pretty good around noon.  I only had one hole with a score larger than a bogey, that was a double bogey on hole #14, a par 5, after lying 3 just off the green hole high. I 4 putted from the fringe. Gee I hate that.  I hit a lot of good shots today, but managed to sneak in a few bad ones to boost my score.  And, I didn't putt very well. I couldh've saved a lot of bad holes by making a putt, but just couldn't convert.  My team did win, so I won $6 today.

Golf Today was a Train Wreck!

I played Shawnee GC today in my usual Tuesday Golf League. I knew I was due for a train wreck. I shot a 41 - 48 = 89. I didn't play to bad on the front nine, just didn't score well. The back nine a hit a few bad shots, and each one of them cost me. I hit into trees, then hit a tree trying to get out ending up behind where I started. Things like that. That's OK though, because I need to get my handicap back up to an acceptable level.  An 11 handicap just isn't me. Beautiful Day, and I enjoyed the round walking the 18 holes.  This was round 56 for the year.

Remember the olden days...............?

"1955 CHEVROLET and The Conversations That Went With It"
Comments made in the year 1955! (That's 55 years ago!)


'I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way
they are, it's going to be impossible
To buy a week's groceries for $20.00.


'Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $2,000.00 will only buy a
used one.


'If cigarettes keep going up in price,
I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.

charging a dime just to mail a letter?


'If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00,
Nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.



'When I first started driving, Who would have thought gas would someday cost 29cents a gallon.. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.


'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more.. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying
DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, It seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.


'I read the other day where some scientist thinks
it's possible to put a man on the moon by the
end of the century.
They even have some fellows they call astronauts
preparing for it down in Texas .



'Did you see where some baseball player just signed a
contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball?
It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be

'The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather,
But I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.



'There is no sense going to Lexington
or Cincinnatti anymore for a weekend,
It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel.

'No one can afford to be sick anymore,
At $35.00 a day in the hospital it's too rich for
my blood.'

'If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a haircut, forget it.'


It's the old joke, "As I get older I get a lot stronger. I used to have to make 4 trips to the car to carry in $20 worth of groceries.....now I can carry them in one hand."

Jillian's Art and Creativity amazes me

Jillian was drawing at my desk in the basement today. She drew this picture of a 'Jump Tree'.  When it jumps it goes "Boing-Boing-Boing". I couldn't get all the drawing in, it was a little large for my scanner, but she did a great job of sounding out the words. Jomp Tree, Brng. But the best part was the tree. Now that's a nice tree. She used my 4 leaf clover stamp to make the leaves. And, the part I liked the best, was the hole she made in the tree. "Jill, why did you make a hole in the tree?". "Well, it's for the animals to live in!" Nice tree Jill.

I'm pondering turning Pro!!!!

I played Iroquois GC today for my usual Thursday golf. I found out today that I won the back nine Tuesday and the total score for a grand total of...........$50! I played well and was hoping I'd win at least the back nine.  Today I had another good round, 38 - 38 = 76, and won low round net and was on the winning team for a grand total of $18. So, I won $68 today!  Yep, I'm thinking of turning pro.  I putted well Tuesday. I didn't hit that many greens in regulation, but chipped up and made good putts to save a lot of pars.  Today I didn't putt that well, but I hit the ball better. I think if I'd have putted today like I did Tuesday I could have been 3-4 strokes better.  I mean, two straight rounds in the 70's, that's pretty good. I hope this keeps up for awhile. The temperature was supposed to hit 100 degrees today so I decided to ride a cart.  Today was round #55 for the year.

Corporate Cup Races in a past life...

When I worked at Coca-Cola, I organized a Running Team each year to compete in the Corporate Cup Races held in October. We were fairly competitive against companies of the same size, but the Cup each year was dominated by the larger companies in Louisville, i.e., Ford, GE, UofL, etc. And, specialty companies like Swag's Sport Shop, which hired runners to work there. It was a chore each year to get enough people to run so that we had a runner for each event. You need men, women, differing age groups, Long distance runners, mid-distance runners, and Sprinters. We had several runners at Coca-Cola, and they were more than willing to join, but it was hard to talk people in to getting on the team when they normally didn't do any running. I was always proud of how well our team did, and how the non-runners performed when called on. It was always a lot of fun. A two day event, Saturday and Sunday, with relay races, mile races, 5K and 10K races. Events for men, women, and over 40's.

In the top picture, I'm at the far left, and in the bottom picture I'm under 'o' in 'Coca'.

We had teams from 1982-1989.
