When I finished up my weekend round of golf Saturday, I stopped by the front desk to say yellow. The guy told me that the course will be closed from April 7th to mid-July to redo the greens. Ugh. Hope they redo the tee boxes as well. Hopefully they’ll extend my annual membership the 3 months that I can’t play – or let me play other City of Atlanta courses. Will give me some time to just hit balls, and improve my game for a change.
My golf bag has been getting heavy, and the ball compartment was filled to the brim (I must be finding more balls that I’m losing – a sign of improvement?). So yesterday afternoon I took all the balls out. Put aside about twenty of the nicer Titleist, Callaway, and Nike balls for later, put 40 balls back into my bag – and still had 40 more balls left over. Must’ve had over 100 balls in my bag. No wonder it was so heavy.
Ceil enjoyed her trip to Savannah. Yesterday afternoon I did some work, and waxed my car. I took Winnie outside with me to hang out in the driveway. Cleaned out the utility closet. Washed and folded clothes. Reorganized the new bookshelves.
NCAA: Duke really put a number on Baylor. I got 70% of my picks correct so far. I picked eleven of the Sweet 16 (Auburn, Duke, Florida, Arizona, Michigan State, Alabama, Houston, Purdue, Kentucky, Texas Tech, and Tennessee) but will be lucky to hit on five of the Elite Eight. We’ll see.
So today I had to give a running commentary on what I do for my boss and two observers, from 8 am to 245 pm. They took notes and made a few suggestions. Wore me out to talk so much. I do a bunch of stuff manually, but by looking at every single item individually (over 200) then I am best able to see what needs attention and where I am in trouble. If something falls through a crack we shut down an assembly line, possibly for weeks. Sure we could download a report, but I don’t trust the data just yet. Perhaps my replacement can develop an easier way. Not sure I have it in me.

TONY CLONINGER [SABR Bio] was the bullpen & bench coach for the Yankees during their successful run from 1992-2001. No National Leaguer had more runs batted in during a single game between 1949 and 1993, with 9 RBI on 03-Jul-1966. While he was Boston’s pitching coach in 2002, Cloninger was ejected for fighting in a bench-clearing brawl against Baltimore. Despite being in his 60s, he took down multiple players and coaches—and became a cult hero for it—particularly among Sox fans.
