Not Best Enough

Tonight was the first night of the doubles league at Hedges-Boyer. It was a beautiful night, and there was a great turnout. I got paired up with a young highschool student, and we got off to a great start shooting 3 deuces. On our first hole–which had a cash CTP contest running on it–I put

Playing with the Big Boys

Yesterday, Sherry stumbled across some good news. She was working on her book and checking to see what new articles on Gothic literature have been published. She noted that Chelsea House Publishers is updating the Stephen King volume in Harold Bloom’s Modern Critical Views series. What was surprising is that Sherry’s own essay on Stephen

The International Disc Golf Center

I arrived at the International Disc Golf Center mid-morning on Monday. I was greeted by Lorrie, I believe, when I walked into the pine panelled walls of the IDGC and stood facing the stone and metal sculpture of a disc golfer. After showing me the features of the IDGC she got me some bug repellent

As we crossed Lake Pontchartrain on I-10 we could see abandoned apartments and condos with their broken windows and partially shingled roofs. We arrived during what should have been

Sittin’ here

That’s what I’m doing. Just sitting here on my porch, outside, sittin’ in my camp chair. The rosy pink of the sunset is peeking between the maples across the street. The occasional vehicle drives by. Some kind of bird that I’d love to be able to identify by its song so that I could sound

T4: Honey, You’re A Grand Ol’ Cru

February 20, 2007 This will be my first batch using a published recipe rather than modifying a kit. My main motivation for choosing this recipe was that I wanted to try using honey in the brewing process. Given the Belgian witbier style of this ale and the presence of coriander, I’m also curious if it’ll
