Irish Fest was a good time. The Elders were excellent! I will definitely have to try and see them again. A rockin’ Irish band, arse kickin’ as they say!

Sunday we lounged around for awhile and then had some mexican food at Ponaks. Doni & Phil invited us over for a cookout, etc. After some more lounging we went over there and sat outside until the sky unloaded on us unexpectedly. Still a good time despite the weather. From there we went over to Fred P Ott’s on the plaza for some cheap beers. We played pinball, megatouch, etc. and left soon after some loud band started playing. That place is too small to have full bands, at least I think so…

Yesterday we took Amy to the airport, then ended up playing 9 holes of golf. Both Kim and I improved from our scores from the last time we played. I even got my first career birdie (well not counting the first “drive” that I sent flying into the woods). It was on the last hole of the course, a pretty long par 4 actually. I had given up on using my 3 wood earlier in the day, and for the at least half of the holes I was driving with my 3 iron. I was actually hitting it really well. I think I must have lined up bad on my first attempt on this hole, so I did end up hitting it straight into the woods. I then hit another one pretty far and right down the fairway. My second shot I hit a 9 iron which struck the green within a few feet of the hole and rolled to maybe 10 feet away. I sank that putt for my birdie! I kind of liked playing yesterday, well at least the second half. My problem now is starting off the hole. I often hit 2, 3, maybe even 4 or 5 balls before I get one to land in a spot that is playable for my second shot. I think I need to hit up the driving range again soon.

Today I’m back at work, but at least it’s Tuesday already!
