So I am off for a walk to CVS to get my inhaler which I could have gotten yesterday if I chose to wait 30 minutes at CVS…yes, 30 minutes to get a box off the shelf which was exactly 6.5 feet away from the register!\u00a0 They wanted me to shop…I wanted to go home!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A four mile hike to CVS<\/p><\/div>\n

After returning home, I had a great meal with my bride\u00a0 including fresh corn on the cob which I picked form the back yard! After lunch, we cleaned up\u00a0 and got ready to play golf…yes, after almost a year of no golf it was time to face the gold gods and see what happened.<\/p>\n

Frankly, we were surprised.\u00a0 Paul played nine holes and Sue chipped and putted all nine holes, doing quite well I may add.\u00a0 She sunk four putts like she had never stopped playing.\u00a0 I was hitting the ball tight down the fairway just like it was yesterday when I last played.\u00a0 I did forgot our golf bag meaning Sue’s golf balls had to be purchased, I had no GPS watch, she had no GPS range finder, etc.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Golf… First time in a year!<\/p><\/div>\n

I remember an old saying we used in high school (back in the early 1960’s), which was “If it doesn’t go, chrome it<\/em>” meaning put a lot of chrome on your car if it is not fast…the girls like that!\u00a0 So, since I can’t play well, I dressed pretty snazzy with my bright purple shirt.\u00a0 Notice the 40 pounds gone away?\u00a0 I no longer look like Santa on vacation!<\/p>\n

No remarks about those white legs…I am wearing nurses stockings!\u00a0 Now I will have to wear shorts around the house when I work in the back yard to brown up those suckers!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Handsom devil!<\/p><\/div>\n

I kept the iPhone on to measure the distance traveled!\u00a0 I did about 6.3 miles today and close to 14,000\u00a0 steps!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A walk around Old Ranch nine holes!<\/p><\/div>\n

After the game, we sat with Bunnaford at Old Ranch for an hour and had a drink…I finished off three beers and Sue had two glasses of wine.\u00a0 I could hardly make it home after three beers as Mother Nature kept calling.\u00a0 Based upon the fact the beer was 0.5% alcohol, I would have needed to drink 18 an hour for three hours\u00a0 to drive impaired!<\/p>\n

We departed for home and watched some TV as both of us were a little tired after playing nine homes, first time in a year!<\/p>\n
