German police baffeled by Bush
Poo-flags

From an article on IndyBay.org
Police in Germany are hunting pranksters who have been sticking
miniature flag portraits of US President George W. Bush into piles of
dog poo in public parks. Josef Oettl, parks administrator for Bayreuth,
said: "This has been going on for about a year now, and there must be
2,000 to 3,000 piles of excrement that have been claimed during that
time.

FORTY-FIVE

I spent this week in Seattle, WA.

Washington is the 45th state in which I have traveled to for a specific reason and stayed the night (this is my definition of 'been to a state')

I only have Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, Montana, and Michigan left to go!

(BTW - Maggie and I love Seattle. Love. It.)

I didn't suck

I played gold last weekend IN A TOURNAMENT.

Maggie and I went back to my folks' home town of Quincy, IL. My uncle Mike has a fund to support the catholic school all the elder Masons attended. The Mike Mason Fund Golf Tournament had a special guest this year: PGA Master golfer DA Weibring.

He's 7th on the the tour right now, and took a day to come play for his alma mater with classmates... and me!

Here's the important part: I didn't embarrass myself or (importantly) my Dad. My swing was ok, I had a few very nice holes, and I even made one or two cheer inducing shots.

Yeah, St. Francis saw $20,000 in revenue, and, sure, I won a professional poker set at the auction, and, ok, Maggie and my Mom saw a lot of lovely homes while I (and here's the important part) did not at all suck.

And now I'll retire.
