The Perfect Day!

Yes, retirement can be wonderful, but let me relate this day:

1) Worked on the old sports car a bit and actually might have made an improvement!
2) Went off to the range and had a wonderful session.
3) Hit the Walmart grocery store and got some fried chicken for lunch.
4)  Barb was not home, so put on the Huston Open golf tournament on the TV
5) The US bridge team trials were on the computer, so turned that on as well.  Old Meckwell were at it and they are old opponents, so fun to watch.
6) Gobbled the chicken, had a beer with it.
7) A nap followed somewhere after lunch.

At some point Barb came home, but I managed to get in all the golf and bridge.  Body was a tiny bit sore from the golf and auto work, so turned on the back warmer.

Finally, Barb suggests we wander over to an artists' open house and demo.  "Will there be free wine?" I ask.  The answer was yes and we did that.  Had some nice conversations with some of the artists.  I find the arts stimulating and that was a nice bonus.

But back to home after that.  Off to bed about 10.  The alarm was set for 6 as I had a 7 am tee time on Friday.


Day 2:


Got up with the alarm clock.  Got to the course and played with the long knockers from the back tees.  Well, I was giving up 40+ yards on all the tee shots, but it didn't matter.  The putter was hot.  The wedge was hotter and the irons were pure.  I even managed to hit most of the drives.  "Swing it like a nine iron!"

I've played a couple of times early and it's always been nice weather and a very fast round.  We managed 3:30 for our threesome.  Done by 10:30.  Just time to get a frozen yogurt from Costco!

Home for a nap after that. 

My lord, could it get any better?
