Though Not Close

Though not close to being as eagerly anticipated in my house as NFL Sundays, I really do look forward to watching the final round of major golf tournaments.  After watching for about an hour I really have the itch to go out and play a round.  Then I remember how awful I am and the craving passes.  Maybe I should start practicing.

And for this week. . . .

• Random thought #1 – Does the person who yells “Get in the hole!” after a tee shot on a 489 yard par 4 hole really think it has a chance of going in?  After hearing the voice of a kid yell the same while watching golf this weekend I feel something must be done.  Perhaps either a shot in the shins with a 4 iron or getting buried up to your head in a bunker is a good place to start with a punishment.  We can’t have children picking up this moronic behavior.
• Random thought #2 – How am I supposed to halve a recipe that has an odd number of eggs in it?  If only for that reason I think all recipes with eggs should have an even number of them.
• Random thought #3 – I have difficulties watching a certain (very popular) morning show because I become irrationally enraged by seeing the large crowd of people who had nothing better to do on their vacation but to get up before dawn and wait outside to scream at a weatherman.
• Random thought #4 – I need to find a way for one of those HGTV people to choose my house for a backyard redesign/makeover.  After Mother Nature was nice enough to wash away half of my lawn I think it is only fair to have that good fortune.  I guess I need to start shopping at the right home improvement stores.
• Random thought #5 – Just to clarify, when you walk past a large group of people waiting outside a building only to find that the door is indeed locked because the place is not open yet, you look like an idiot.  We are not waiting outside in the 95 degree heat for fun.
