Why I Was Late Posting Monday

One of the things I like to do with my time is volunteering. You meet new people and get to see places you normally wouldn't. Plus I think it's a good idea to shake up one's own status quo from time to time. As Lenin once said, "A little revolution now and then is a good thing."



This is how I ended up . . . on a golf course on a beautiful South Texas afternoon when I don't even play the game. It was the AT&T South Texas Open, which is a stop on the Seniors Tour.


I have no idea who this guy is. I think he's Fuzzy Zoeller, and I'm probably wrong. But I did get to meet him, and get his autograph, which was cool. That's certainly something that wouldn't have happened if I was sitting around the house. You so infrequently see Fuzzy Zoeller bumming a bottled water out of my refrigerator.


Most of what we did was sit around in an air-conditioned tent watching satellite TV (of the Cowboys game) waiting for someone to come in with (a) a headache, or (b) ant-bites, so we could hand out anti-itch cream or ibuprofen or tylenol, such as the case may be.


This being Texas (and part of the South, y'all) The signs that they hold up when the player is putting say "HUSH, Y'all!"


The bad news was when I volunteered to work the Open, I didn't think I was scheduled to work that night at the hospital. Through a miracle of sudden scheduling, it turned out i was after all. That meant no afternoon nap before work, and when I got home this morning, I was beat. (I'd say "bushed", but I don't want to get angry comments from the Obama-istas in the Comments section. Some of them aren't too bright . . . )

So I apologize for the delay.

More tomorrow.
