Ceil's Big Adventure

Ceil is having a big time on her trip with Dawn. Spent night one in Arlington VA.

Then London. 


Art stores. Eating in cafes.

Eating in cafes.

Ten years ago tonight, on April 22, 2014, I went to the Braves game with Reid W. I was selected to hit golf balls on the field before the game. Hard to believe that was ten years ago.

Wonder about Scottie S if he will be able to chase Nicklaus’ records for most majors. You heard it here first. Might not have gotten as early a start as Tiger, but Tiger faded due to injuries – many self inflicted. Scheffler may be able to be great for a longer time. Still way too early to tell.

A month or so ago Korda was competing against Rory and Max Homa and Rose Zhang. Yesterday with the rain in Hilton Head there was a senior type tourney in Irving Texas with a celebrity division. David Toms was second. Pace of play was terrible. Smotz was leading the celebrities. Annika was second. Tony Roma may have been third.

Today was Bryant Wright’s 32nd annual Right From the Heart golf tournament out in Alpharetta. The 680 The Fan radio station is broadcasting from the tourney, Former UGA QB Buck Belue talked to Bryant Wright on his show. Belue said he started every day with a devotional.

Seems like I disagree with every opinion Joe Hamilton doles out on 680 the Fan. He says the Falcons need to draft more weapons for QB Kirk Cousins to spread the ball around to. That would be nice, but the team has so many other more pressing needs: they could use every pick to strengthen the offensive line and defense and still not have enough.

Fixed a big pan of nachos for lunch, with chips, cheese, black beans, chicken, onions, and BBQ sauce. Good but huge.

Fixed a salad for supper, believe it or not. Lettuce, chicken, cheese, crispy onion pieces, and honey mustard.

Work keeps getting harder and harder. So much extra work just to feed the SAP beast. Not sure how they expect me to do all this. Worked 5 hours on Saturday and 4-1/2 more yesterday. I can’t keep this up. Lots of times I type out what I am feeling, to help me figure out exactly what I am feeling and experiencing, so I am ready to talk about it when I get the chance. Would be nice to retire. Nice to have that option.

Sure is a different world in the work force these days, including my own company. People focused on themselves, not the team. People hop from one job to another. Only concerned about climbing the ladder. One stressed out coworker recently left. No one seemed to care. Used to be a family atmosphere, but those days are long gone. 

Might as well wait until my hip is healed. I wanted to golf on Saturday but it hurts too much. Woke early and took Winnie out. I was reading that I need to exercise it, so maybe I can get back to at least walking. Grass needs cutting.
