1) The Freddie Mercury Google doodle is awesome. I shouldn't complain about it, because it was really, really cool. But I've played with it a lot the last two days and I guess my one complaint is I'll have "Don't Stop Me Now" stuck in my head for at least a week.
2) For a 'staycation' this was pretty good.
I had three physical therapy visits, which helped tremendously even though they were pure torture. A few more weeks, plus lots of assigned homework in the form of self-torture.
Also two rounds of golf, two 90's on the scorecard. My last four rounds are now 89, 90,90,90. I guess that's consistency. Those scores are a minor miracle for a guy who drives the ball 190 yards and putts poorly. I'm straight as an arrow from tee to green, but I have no distance and I don't putt well when I arrive. Next spring's goal: add approximately 25 yards distance to every club. That sounds like a lot, but it would actually still leave me about 10 yards short of where I was 5 years ago.
Rest of vacation? Softball games, nights out, housework, reading. Fun stuff.
We've been struggling to score runs for quite a while, then tonight we scored 21 in the first inning. I guess we needed the 55 degree, rainy weather in order to heat up. I've been batting at the bottom of the order to minimize my plate appearances since I'm hurting, but I still went 2 for 2 in the first inning. Our leadoff hitter doubled, singled, and homered- all in the first inning. When the inning ended he was 5 batters away from a chance to hit for the cycle in the first inning.
Three more weeks to season's end. As usual this time of year, I'm still enjoying playing but also looking forward to the end.
