Life is still too busy. Left home Friday at 5 pm. Stopped by RaceTrac and Arbys on the way down to W&MC’s. Was able to get Millie and Shiv to get without too much fanfare. After Millie went to bed (without too much crying), Shivvy and I had a nice time looking at the pictures on my phone. Saw the end of the Braves game and more of the NFL draft. Will got home at 1045, so I didn’t get home until 1130.
Up early on Saturday to golf. First time in over a month. Played with fellow early bird Paul. Hit the ball well off the tee, especially on one, 6, 7, 8, and 9 (the longest holes). In fact my drives on the last four holes were some of my longest ever (but that’s still not that long). Afterwards I stopped by a Goodwill, then met up with Anna at Peachtree Battle. On the way home I grabbed a free pizza at RaceTrac. Breakfast, lunch, and supper.
After meeting REM’s Mike Mills, I hit a nearby thrift store and bought a nice shirt, then drove out past Woodstock to the Outlet Shops of Atlanta. Hoped to exchange my new Cole Haans for a smaller size, but couldn’t make the sway at the store. Wasted trip. Stopped by another thrift store on the way home.
Saturday was a 13000 step day, probably my most active day since my sciatica acted up. But all the activity has me feeling better. So good that I went back for golf on Sunday morning. Teed off at 640 am. Decided to leave my woods in the bag and only used my irons. Good call. I needed the work. Hit three balls on every shot. Still made decent distance off the tee on the longer holes. Was putting for birdie on the long par four 6th hole, after a great long 5 iron and 6 iron. Parred the long uphill par three 9th hole for the first time ever: a decent 5 iron off the tee, chipped to 5 feet, and drained the putt.

Nissan Altimas were never my favorite. Too many out on the road. I always considered Nissan a third choice, behind Honda and Toyota, ahead of Mazda, Kia, VW, Jeep, and Hyundai. Nowadays Kia is pressing Honda for the top spot. My father’s Altima had low miles, was well maintained, and in good shape. A no brainer to drive. But I had no idea that kids today consider Altimas a panacea. Imagine that.
