Re your question on The Villages: I'm not much into practicing...it's important but I get bored quickly; I'd much rather be out on the course.

It was interesting, though, to see the guy with one arm hit the ball so well!

As to your comment about the logs, I think it would be wise of me to not say anything (which is very hard!)...you are very funny! :-)); January 31, 2011 at 4:59 AM

George said...: What a nice memorial. I like the idea of a fisherman getting ready to tie up his boat. Too often we forget how dangerous deep sea fishing can be.; January 31, 2011 at 7:00 AM
