Not Bad; 950 More To Hit; Very Nice Day & Time; Thrown Out

Hit some decent shots off the driving range platform today, not bad for my first time with the new iron that I just got, that is a type not commonly used or found. I know that for me, it takes about 1000 practice shots with each new club until I pown it, & I did about 50 today, leaving 950 to go, so I am planning to get several buckets of balls at the driving range over the next few weeks to get that club under control so I can enjoy the game more. I also got a glove, & a cap to keep the sun off, because I have rosacea, & need to stay out of the bright sun. There were 5 of us, & we had a very nice time & the weather was sweet.

Interesting, & actually quite appropriate, experience for me this evening. My wife called me just as I was leaving work, & described a situation that seemed to need me to participate in negotiating a compromise solution among my wife, my daughter, & my daughter in law, so with my wife's concurrence, I stopped off at my daughter's home on the way after work. Well, my son in law was there too, & his opinion about me being needed was...how shall I say it...180 degrees out from mine *:-) He escorted me out of the house, off the property, & told me not to bother his wife (my daughter) about the subject again, since she is only a few weeks away from giving birth & is extremely fragile. I did not resist at all, and am actually very very glad that he is finally taking full responsibility for my daughter, which is exactly what he is supposed to do as her husband. This is a strong message that my own freedom from the entanglements of family is becoming more real, & that makes me happy *:-)
