Wii Golf

Back when we had the Wii Sports we would play golf. I loved the regular course and could do well. There was a dogleg par 5 with a secret hidden spot in the woods you could hit, and reach the green in two, but you had to be careful to not go in the woods. Then we got the Masters game and I could play as Tiger Woods, but I didn't want to make the larger time commitment to learn.

A coworker has a setup in his garage where he can hit golf balls, and its like playing at the Masters or Pebble Beach. High tech. I know Will and Caleb want a similar setup. High tech.

I am in a funk not going to the gym in the mornings. Gotta get back to it.

Not sure what the problem with my emails was on Thursday. After I got home I was working on my laptop again and noticed some emails were taking a long time to come through. But Friday morning I checked and my phone email is working fine.

Thursday: good to have a lunch and not have to rush back to work. I stopped by a thrift store and bought a Braves cap that I didn’t need. I was on the way back to Ceil’s doctor’s office when they called saying she was finished. Picked her up lunch at Little Rey. Supper on Saturday night was spaghetti & meatballs, not meatloaf.

Crazy that Dan Hayes is moving to Colorado. He’s 78, and moving to a home with fewer steps. We had friends that moved to Colorado to be near their daughter.

DENIS MENKE [SABR Bio] was struck out by Nolan Ryan in Ryan’s first major league game, in Queens on 11-Sep-1966, Menke started at shortstop for Atlanta, struck out to end the 7th inning. Menke was a coach for Houston from 1983-1988, while Ryan pitched on the same team. Menke played 4 years for MLN and two for ATL. He played for Houston from 1968-1971. Denis spent 42 years in professional baseball. Menke and Sparky Anderson played together on the 1962 Toronto Maple Leafs then Anderson was Menke’s manager for the Reds from 1972-1973.
