Golf Day

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 45 degrees, high 70 degrees, clear skies

The great weather continued today with the wind staying down until late in the afternoon when it started to to blow a little. It was good enough that I played golf with my brother Terrell this afternoon. More on that later.

The loud music from Friday night was not repeated last night. It appears that most of those folks left the park yesterday afternoon. As a result, I was able to get a good night's sleep. Carolyn wasn't bothered by the loud music, but then she could probably sleep through a bomb going off. Not really, but she does sleep soundly. I'm envious.

Carolyn's back problems continued today, so we stayed at home to try to let her back relax. She stayed on the couch with a heating pad. As much as possible, I tried to keep her from doing anything that might aggravate her back. Most people who know her will understand how hard it is to get her to settle down and let things get better. She doesn't think she can take the time to let things work their course. In this situation, she doesn't have much choice.

The last few days we have been watching the first year's shows for Dexter, filmed by Showtime. Lori has the entire first year's shows on dvd, and she suggested we watch them while here. The premise of Dexter is that the lead character is a serial killer in Miami. One little twist to this serial killer: he only kills other serial killers. It's an interesting concept that works well, and we enjoyed watching the shows. It also helped keep Carolyn down as she tries to get over this latest episode with her back. We saw the last two episodes today, and we're looking forward to more of this show.

This afternoon, Terrell and I played golf. It was a perfect day from a weather standpoint, with little wind blowing until about halfway through the round when it started kicking up. Anyone who lives here knows how rare a day it is when the wind is not blowing. The one negative to the day was that the course was covered up with people. That's not hard to understand with the weather like it was. We made the best of the day, and had a good time.

Speaking of golf, Tiger Woods won his first tournament since returning from an injury that sidelined him since last June. He is amazing. There is no doubt in my mind that he is the best to ever play golf.

More later, be safe.
