Random Notes

Wow, it’s Tuesday!  It feels like Saturday.  I woke early this morning and thought about heading out to the golf course for a quick game before the weather turns hot.  Before I went, I sat down for a quick session on the computer – have I mentioned that I’m addicted?  Ever since I sat down one morning and watched, live, the second airplane hit the second of the Twin Towers, I feel a need to take at least a quick look at the Internet, to see if there’s another life-changing horror in the making.  Then I remembered:  Killer Hobbies!

This past Thursday I played the second best golf game of my life.  I can’t explain it, I don’t feel I was doing anything differently, but my drives were straight down the fairway and longer than usual, and I made a couple of long putts.  I did the same thing once last year.  I understand this happens even to the pros.  It’s exciting and immensely satisfying – but I wish I could duplicate it at will.  I just know my next game is going to be disappointing.

Another disappointment?  My diet.  I’m down just six pounds – no, five pounds – no, six pounds.  It keeps jumping back and forth.  But I am learning to live without bread, sugar, potatoes, corn, breakfast cereal and other high-carb foods.  I feel better, more alert, and my blood sugar is down ten to fifteen points.  My cat Snaps has developed a fanatic interest in yogurt.  He insists on a share and we have finally come to agree that he gets to lick the empty single-serving carton.   Is it okay for a cat to eat a dab of Greek yogurt?  It doesn’t seem to do him any harm.

Tomorrow is the Grand Old Fourth.  We’re having company for a steak dinner and fireworks at the park right next door.  Hope your holiday is a memorable one.
