Walking the course

I've done hundreds of golf events but this new scoring system for the USGA is new to me. So I grabbed a scoring unit and walked with the training group and scored a hole. I screwed up at the end - good thing I'm not an actual walking scorer.

Fox Hole and I set up TV today - probably the easiest set up I've been involved with. The TV folks were helpful and we were efficient. Basically it took us about 2 hours to set up and cable 17 computers. Before we left the compound, all systems were running with live data. On to the next task...

Planning a trip

It is a little early, but a trip is brewing... If we can work it out, Brandi and I will be adding some travel to my site visit to Wimbledon. Right now we're looking at a week and a half traveling to Berlin, Prague, Vienna and Budapest. Even though it's a bit preliminary, I'm getting a bit excited about it. Now we just have to figure out how to pay for it.

Finally

11a is no longer my home.

One Fox

A new superstition has developed at Wimbledon. After a few problems in the first week, I realized that each night on the walk home I saw one fox. ONE FOX BAD. On a day where things went relatively well, I saw two foxes on the walk home. TWO FOX GOOD. On yet another night's walk home, I raised the question to Glyn "what if we see three foxes?" THREE FOX F***ED!

Sleep Deprivation

It is amazing how much you desire sleep when you have a lack of it. All day long the brain teases you into thinking that if you just wait a few more hours you will be sound asleep. But then reality sets in and you realize that the BBC wants many graphic changes.

All I can think about at this second is how nice it would be to stretch out in my king size bed with fresh linens and sleep for about 12 hours straight. Wishful thinking.
