Wednesday

I assume that Anonymous was referring to the fact that October 16th is usually Boss's Day.

2 and I had a nice little 3.7 or so run last night. It was warm and we ended up going a little further than originally planned. I was not all that strong because I hadn't eaten very well during the day, but I was ok afterwards. We're doing it again tomorrow night.

The weather changed today. A front came in and the temps came down quite a bit. Those high 80's weren't that great earlier in the week.

I did an oil change on the Buick at The Grease Spot by Panara Bread on Elmore after lunch. They didn't want to sell me filters, but the guy did suggest rotating the tires and swapping out wipers. Some things just don't change.

Leno was unmerciful on former congressman Foley last night. There's a lot of material to work with. Interesting how the different societal segments view and/or act on such a set of facts. Obviously the prime mover has to do damage control. Rehab? Of course. And now the recollection of clergy abuse in his youth. The political vultures now want to hang anyone in the glidepath. The media mudrakers want to "get the story out" to protect the public. The politicians need to quickly denounce the commission of such heinous acts. Before their opponents can call them soft on crime. Its all very predictable. No wonder the comics love scandal. Let's see, Father Soandso, Ted Kennedy and Foley were on a good will visit to Boys Town...

Then you have the morning sports talk show on Fox radio just carving up Chris Berman of ESPN for his call of the baseball game yesterday. I'm not a big Berman fan, and I did not hear him on the game in question, but these guys are just unable to control themselves. There is no class in sports talk radio. No professionalism. Only outrageousness. Hard to listen to just to get the scores. If these guys had any talent, they would be doing something a little more meaningful. But I guess that explains the reality of why they are where they are. People who can, do. People who can't, write and talk about those who can.

Speaking of commentators, Nick Faldo is taking the job of Head Color Guy for CBS Golf next year. He's taking the place of Lanny Watkins who had the job for a couple of years, but who never really connected with his audience. Faldo won the Masters a couple of times, including the one where Greg Norman blew a big lead on the back nine on Sunday. He should do ok. He still plays a little and he has a good sense of humor. Faldo and Paul Azinger were doing color work for one of the other major networks the last couple of years, but that network lost the contract so they were both looking for a place to land.

Has 4000 Days had a golf discussion before today?

Hope all is well with everyone.

Be careful out there.
