I’m going to have to get a pickup truck so I can fit in at my men’s Bible Study. Twelve in attendance: four Davids, two Dans, Brian, Ryan, Reid, Robert, Tommy, and Rob. At least four F150s in the cul-de-sac. If Lee hadn't been absent and Reid hadn't sold his Chevy, we could've recreated the Olympic Opening Ceremony. David Reynolds shared his notes from Psalm 51. Good discussion.

Tuesday: left work at 545 and stopped by Wendys for two burgers for $3 and next door to Arbys for $1 large fries. Dropped off donations at Goodwill, then headed straight to the Bible study.
Wednesday: up extra early to golf. Teed off at 615 am. Was taking my time hitting several balls, but two ladies behind me were keeping up with me. I really didn’t play that well, but managed to hit at least one decent shot each time.
1. Flubbed three tee shots. Decent 6 iron approach settled just short of the green. Two nice chips, one bad. Two putt for “bogey”.
2. Two passable 6 irons off the tee. Two decent chips. Two putt for “bogey”.
3. Two cruddy tee shots. Great long low chip under the tree branches onto the green. Two putt for “bogey”.
4. Two tee shots stayed low and right, then hooked my third right but playable. Three decent chips onto the green. Two putt for “bogey”.
5. Four cruddy tee shots. Two cruddy chips, one left, one right. My next chip rolled off the green, but my mulligan rolled to six inches. “Bogey”.
6. Flubbed one tee shot, then hit a nice low hybrid. Hit a 6 iron that felt great, but I didn’t see where it went (didn’t go as far as I’d thought). Two good chips. Two putt for “bogey”.
7. Hit two good tee shots. Hit hybrid twice from the fairway. Bad choice going up the hill. Not a good roll through the wet grass. Three decent chips: two onto the green and the third just short. Two putt for “bogey”.
8. Three more bad tee shots. Gotta get back to using driver. Hit a decent 7 iron and an okay chip (after a flub). Then two putt for another “bogey”.
9. Hit 6 iron off the tee. Two flubs, then pulled a decent shot left, under another tree. Two poor chips followed by a great chip onto the green. Rolled two putts to within inches. My ninth straight “bogey”.
RANDY JOHNSON [SABR Bio] was the first pitcher to strike out 300 batters in a season in each league: for Seattle once and four times for Arizona. He threw the last pitch before the 1994 ML players' strike. He K'ed Ernie Young on 11-Aug-1994. He was the first Yankee pitcher this century to surrender four home runs in an inning, on 21-Aug-2005.
Denison: Peggy Noonan laments in her recent Wall Street Journal column that journalism has morphed from reporting the news to advancing personal ideologies. Will tomorrow night’s presidential debate be fair? (denisonforum.org)
A huge dragon was wrapped around the Empire State Building to advise a TV show, with dragon banners proclaiming “all must choose”. Was this an unintended harbinger of Revelation 12, when Satan (the dragon) was “cast out of heaven into the earth, and deceived the whole world”?
