Oh my gosh. We played 18 holes of golf in that chill yesterday. With two 70-year-old salty women. One of these women is my AA sponsor, but it was simply by coincidence that we were included in this outing. Deb met the other woman in a recent golf tournament, and it was they who set [...]

I Don’t Suck at Golf
Posted in golf, tagged bicycle, Friends, golf, Maine on September 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I played a little bit of golf with Deb and Sharon yesterday. Each of them has totally caught the golf bug lately. They are each super competitive and downright devoted to improving their games. There is always a tee time in the works. I think they may play again today. And the weather is perfect, [...]
Nice Swing, Dude

A year ago yesterday was the day Hurricane Ike ripped through town; so, it was the first anniversary of the day Ryan’s life changed and the day Deb was there to help.
I haven’t yet figured out how to embed a video that’s not from YouTube, but you can see Ryan’s amazing progress and his awesome [...]
I’ve Got Golf up my Sleeve

I am really looking forward to this weekend because I do not have one—not one—thing planned. Well, I want to ride my bicycle. And I do need to meet the darn telephone guy who’s coming this afternoon to fix our internet connection. For the past week we’ve been mooching off our neighbor’s signal.
Want to see [...]
What We Do for Fun

Take my advice: Don’t even ask about the golf tournament.
As for me…well, this is what I’ll be doing again tonight. That’s me on my scooter. I’d forgotten how good I look on it.
The Word “Tournament” Makes Her Happy

Deb is ecstatically out the door to her city golf tournament. I’ve never seen anyone
sign herself up for a tournament without anyone else she knows participating in it,
think about said tournament every waking hour,
practice every spare minute,
decide on her clothes way in advance (She got in a bit of a rush to iron her shorts [...]
Just What We Need When We Need It

You know Deb is in a golf tournament today, and that makes her elated beyond words. Really. She LOVES a tournament. So yesterday I agreed to play 9 holes on a ratty little local course with her…as a “warm up,” she said. But here’s the thing about Deb: She won’t make tee times for these [...]
No Limits

We had dinner two nights in a row with the nicest families. Last night we met Ryan and his family for pizza. You know, moments before the tree fell on him and before they had a reason to wave, Ryan and Deb waved to one another on the golf course—I guess that sort of signaled [...]
How It Goes Around Here Some Mornings

We’re playing in a golf tournament today, and this golf shirt fits a little more snuggly than it did the last time I wore it. I told Deb I think I might have to lose a few pounds, and I asked if they’ve come up with a pill for that yet. She usually responds to [...]
Kick-Ass Deviled Eggs and Fireworks

Mary uses vinegar and hot sauce in her deviled eggs. I LOVE them. See? It’s not rocket science…just surprise me a little bit.
And those women sure love Jones Pure Cane Cream Soda. It’s smooth. I can make a bottle last all week by taking only a sip or two a day, but Mary and Carol [...]
