Big Week

Well, despite a hurricane coming in, McCain picking up an Alaskan governor for a running mate who looks she could be more like his secretary and Russia trying out new nuclear technology, it's been pretty quiet.

Yesterday was good, kicking back with family and friends, heading up to Geneva-On-The-Lake and doing bumper boats and go-kart racing.  We had a sick kid, so Mom and her ended up going home, but the rest of us managed to make it to Old Mill Winery right in Geneva.  Came back to roast marshmellows and talk about old times.

No disc golf this weekend.... but that's okay.  I managed to get my first ever pro-par round of 54 at Lakeshore!  Granted, it was red tees and I really could have done better, but it finally felt good to at least get to that point.  I remember hitting 72's on the reds when I first got into the sport, so that's a good thing.  We'll see if I can do it on the white holes.  I had three dueces, including another improbable one on 6, and the regular 9 and 14.  I choked on about three putts and considering there was almost no wind to speak of, I'm not sure what wasn't working on those.  It was raining a little bit and pretty muggy.  All in all, though, a good way to spend Thursday night.  Earlier in the week I shot a 63 on the white tees, which is a personal best for me out there, too.  And I damn near forgot Sunday, heading out to Mentor, I got to play two of the new holes at Sims Park and I shot a 60 over there, which is another best.  A good week all around!

Mountain biking in October hopefully at Mohican, and I might try Atchison tomorrow if there is any time.  I'm not sure how dry it's going to be, but it would be nice to saddle up and hit it while I still have some energy.

Tried teaching Euchre to the girls today.  That lasted five minutes.  Mom was right.  :-)  Still maanged two games of Pirate's Cove and I actually did okay on those, too.  I usually get creamed by J-Love, but I managed to stay out of trouble most of the game.  Even Banana played which is a bit unusual and she's been a riot lately.

Anyhow, more later.
