tuesday mornings in wilmette

It is a glorious morning. The sun is shining in the study. Les McCann and Eddie Harris are playing on iTunes. Life is good.

Yesterday was interesting...good, but interesting. I went to a driving range. Yep. I did. It was fun. I have not wacked at some golf balls in about two years...since Thanksgiving two years ago. It shows, but at least I make the same mistake again and again. Humiliation, thy name is golf. I slice like someone who spent a great deal of time in a kitchen...without effort and the same way every time. That is simply how it is. If any of you play the game, would you tell me how to get the 3-wood to go farther than the 5-iron? I hit 'em both about 150 yards every time. I know I prefer the shorter clubs. I am lousy with the longer club. Pointers? Anyone?

In other news, the ECUSA has a new Presiding Bishop. Go here for the best report I have read.

We had promised them that history is made and seen by those who show up. If they hadn't believed us by then, they sure do now. They were present at a turning point of their Church, and one whose full meaning will not be understood for a long time to come. - The Librarian

I think if you want one to go farther, you throw it harder than the other one. Just make sure the other people aren't in the way, cuz no one wants to get hit in the head with a flying golf club.

Always helpful, Pastor. Thank you. LOL.

With regards to hitting a wood farther than an iron: Who cares? Find the clubs that work best and use those the mostest.

With regards to the slice: If it slices the same way every time, simply turn your body a different direction so that the ball slices down the middle of the fairway. I've done this. It works. Scares the crap out of people on the other fairway, but it works.
