Golf and Ponies - updated
Email exchange between myself and the Teutonic wonder known as Viddythis :
Viddythis: According to weather.com, we can play golf tomorrow!! Last golf day of the year! Please? Pretty Please? I got us a tee time for 11:20 AM.
Broadsheet: Ummm, sweetie, they are calling for a greater than 50% chance of rain tomorrow.
Viddythis: See, I see that as a 50% chance of sun! Sun and ponies! And rainbows and unicorns and strawberries and BLAM!!!
Well, I guess we're playing golf then.....
Can't wait to find out what BLAM is.....
UPDATE: Luckily, our relative levels of golf suckage were pretty well matched, so we didn't keep score and had a great time. I'm pretty sure that golf clubs are not supposed to look like gardening tools when you're finished playing. But ours did. We hit more dirt than balls.
Unbelievably, we did not hit a deer. Herds of them. Everywhere. I guess they were the ponies and unicorns Neckbone was hoping for. The BLAM was provided by the nearby pistol range. Can I just rave for a moment about how beautiful Pine Ridge Golf Course is? Surrounded on all sides by the Loch Raven reservoir, it is simply gorgeous. After nine holes, the weather tanked, temperatures dropped, and the heavy fog and drizzle rolled in. Neckbone and I hit a great Indian restaurant in Towson for curries and a beer afterward. Hard day at work I must say. A big thank you to Ice Queenie for loaning me her hubby for a few hours. I completely envy them their upcoming adventure over the Holidays to South Africa.
Can he cook? Maybe he's suffering from delusions of being a TV chef?
