it's also the day your handicap will begin to drop..

another suggestion..always play golf with people who are better than you. You'll learn a lot faster watching better players..

as for the cards and love letter's...I left all that crap with Kim.....I don't think she ever, ever, ever really felt any of the things she said she did...I think she married and had a child because her clock was tickin....

I do get some satisfaction in seeing that most of the people out on the course seem to be much worse than me. I asked my instructor why that was and he said that a lot have never taken lessons.

for what it's worth....in 1993 to about 1999..I got down to a 3 handicap..lowest I ever got..now I play to around an eight...

I've never had a lesson..

I was self taught..learned from better players..watched a lot of golf..practiced a lot in the yard..hit tons of balls..once I got all my flaws ingrained then i knew that if i had a lesson it would be like starting all over again...so no lessons..lol...but..what could have been if I had taken lessons when I first picked up the game...if I had...you may have been watching me on TV right now..

It is never too late to see Mike on TV in a playoff at Augusta. Just look at other old guys like Tom Watson and Kenny Perry.

I picked my kids up today after work. They had been in Thailand for the last 3 weeks. D was sure tired and fell asleep for a while in the car and then again when we got back home. But somehow after getting some food and ice cream sprinkles in her, she was all excited and watched the new Bratz Fashion Pixiez movie I had picked up. And I actually watched this one too and thought is was pretty darn good compared to all the other Bratz movies.

My son keeps calling me Ed. Arrrgghh! But anyway, he will get back in the routine. One thing I thought funny was one of the first things he asked for was to listen to Pink Floyd Animals on my mp3 player when he went to bed. And that is where he is now - reading and listening to Sheep, Dogs and Pigs. Maybe tomorrow I will introduce him to the Wish You Were Here or the Obscurred by Clouds albums. I may have the boy watch my Dream Theater live at Budokon DVD sometime with me...cranked up...shaking the walls...in awe of incredible musicians.

I suspect that in the coming years his passion for playing ukulele and guitar will be like that as his passion for piano. He asks me occasionally to watch the incredible video of Jake Shimabukuro playing ukulele and he knows that the instrument is not a toy as many percieve. Sadly, we arrive in Kauai 2 days after Jake has his concert there.

We are going blueberry picking tomorrow with X-GF and other kids.

I had lunch again with lady #1, but I just dont have the attraction even though we have good conversation. Lady #2 told me that I was too young and energetic and that she felt much older than me (she is 46 and I am 49) - I think she was being polite. Could be that a lot of the ladies who have grown kids are not wanting to go through that again with a man that has young kids. Oh well, no hurry. I am having fun with the buffet line.

hey kerry,

dang, being called the name of the OM by your kid is rough. you're a good dad, though I can't believe you've got your kids listening to pink floyd. did you show them the dark side of the moon/wizard of oz trick?

You should introduce your boy to Dent May and his Magnificent Ukulele - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX5VRnbuaRI

Followed your break-up dilemma - you handled it well.

Hey Kerry..

Hmm... the kids called you "Ed"? I wonder how often they called him by your name. Far more than you've heard his, no doubt, much to the consternation of their mom and her escort.

Great outlook and attitude! Don't be in a rush b/c you'll repeat mistakes.

I'm crazy about the one I'm with, but I'm also being cautious not to get in too deep too soon. If we were to break up, I'd be blue for a few days, but I'd be back at it again soon. I'd have to be. After all I've been through (and you and everyone else), life is way too short to be hung up on one that "got away" or whatever.

The "buffet line" isn't such a bad thing after all.

I do not think I will ever allow myself to be "crazy" about another woman. That is a sad statement but I guess that is what comes with "the territory".
I am also seeing someone but I am not 1005 sure I am through with the buffet.
Sorry folks just being brutally honest.

I know of the Wizard of Oz/Dark side of the moon trick, but I have never tried it. Whoever discovered that has way too much time on their hands.

I wonder if there are buffet opportunities on Kauai?

Two years ago (pre bomb), my son and I were at a restaurant on the Big Island and the Hawaiian waitress had a keen interest in me.

BTW... It is a bit ironic the phrase for "thank you very much" in Hawaiian is "mahalo nui loa" and my X's name is Nui.

Kerry,

Funny irony for sure.

John, don't worry if you are through w/the buffet or not. You'll know when you've found the one you'd like to be with. As for not being "crazy" about another woman, I think your heart will soften when you find the right one. She'll disarm you and let you know you are safe.
