Golf: I'll start with a great big THANK YOU to everyone who blew in a northerly direction (and to the Creator who listened), because Renee' and I were able to play golf with hardly any rain at all. We just got a sprinkle on the 4th hole to remind us to be grateful for the sun.
I shot a 52 (17 over par)...which is just under double bogey golf. A bit more than when I left off a few months back. However, there's nothing like a dread disease to put perspective in your golf game. I had some great shots (Renee' had some AWESOME shots)...and some trouble with sand shots. And an absolutely enjoyable, relaxing experience with a dear friend.
We even had some iced tea afterwards, hanging in the clubhouse. I listened to my body and called it a day at 9 holes...but I think I'm only a month or so away from 18 holes.
Academy Awards: Was it just me, or were the Academy Awards particularly good last night? I guess I'll have to see Slumdog Millionaire and Milk...and I'd also like to see The Reader (as, apparently, would Hugh Jackman). This year I've been a bit behind in my movie going. First year in a long time that I hadn't seen 80% of the nominations. So I think it's even more remarkable that the awards were so enjoyable.
I liked the new format of having past awardees praise the current nominees. I thought the dance numbers were entertaining. The "The Musical is Back" seemed to be a non-sequiter, but I still liked it. And I loved the young screenwriter for Milk. What a great speech and he seemed very moved by the whole experience. Can't wait to see what he does next.
Memes: What's a Meme you ask? On Facebook, it's a sort of creative exercise where folks ask you questions, or give you tasks. Today's meme from Todd Truffin turned out to be a bit more complicated than I thought.
Here are the instructions:
Here are the rules for the album meme:
1. Go to Wikipedia. Hit "random" or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article that comes up is the name of your band.
2. Go to Quotations Page and select "random quotations" or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very LAST quote on the page make up the title of your first album.
3. Go to Flickr and click "explore the last seven days" or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
The third picture in the top row, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. Use Photoshop or whatever to put it all together.
5. Post it to Facebook with this text in the "caption" or "comment" and TAG the friends you want to join in.
I got it all done except for #5. For whatever reason, Facebook would not accept my Powerpoint jpeg file. So I'm going to post it here.
There it is...my fantasy album. I quite like it!
