A Spent Day

Yesterday was my day off and I got to spend it doing what I wanted to do. My morning began by going to Cracker Barrel and enjoying breakfast. I got “Mama’s Pancake Breakfast” which included three pancakes, three strips of bacon, two eggs over medium and coffee. Mmmmmm, that was sure good. After leaving CB I went to Wal-Mart to get some golf balls and golf tees so that I can start the process of losing them because I had successfully lost my previous set of balls and tees. Golf is sure a strange game but more about that later. I then went to the post office to send a package of stuff to my favorite grandson, Ethan. Actually, he is my only grandson but that is beside the point. I then finally headed home to do some bathroom calking and play with the dog.


Three-thirty pm finally rolled around and I was at the Newport News golf course for a date with my son Aaron to play 9 holes of pasture pool. I will never be very good at this game nor will I even rise to mediocrity. I do however, enjoy getting my moneys worth by seeing how many times I can hit a little white ball between holes. BTW: On the 8th hole I may have set a course record for strokes (more is better, right)! Our game was played along side an older golfer who kindly showing us the error of our ways. We told him that we were not really golfers and he humbly told us he was not either but then showed Aaron and I that there is a difference between being honest and being humble. He patiently gave us some pointers that really seemed to work…when we applied them. It is amazing to me that anyone can have the patience he had and still look as if he were having fun in spite of his fellow hackers.
After leaving the golf course behind I headed back home and spent the evening with Keri…well sort of. She let me watch the West Virginia verses Pitt (I hate Pitt) basketball game in which the Mountaineers totally destroyed Pitt (yeah!!!) and then let me watch Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I do not deserve such a wonderful wife, and that is the truth!!!
Many of you are probably thinking…wow, what a waste of a day! I must admit that every day with this type of schedule would be a waste but from time to time, it ain’t so bad. Soooo, what would you have done? How do you spend your time off from work?

Eccl 9:7-9 (MSG) Seize life! Eat bread with gusto, Drink wine with a robust heart. Oh yes—God takes pleasure in your pleasure! 8 Dress festively every morning. Don't skimp on colors and scarves. 9 Relish life with the spouse you love Each and every day of your precarious life. Each day is God's gift. It's all you get in exchange For the hard work of staying alive. Make the most of each one!

Roger, over and out!
