How’s your week going so far? I’ve been keeping busy, and had a blah-blah round of golf. At least our team is still near the top, but there is only a week or two left in the first half.
Here is some headlines from The Onion to energize your push toward the weekend. Any favorites? For those wanting the extra challenge, use the information in the headlines (and only these headlines) to create an original. My combo is at the end.
Have a good rest of the week.
There are people in the world concerned about the current state of hip-hop
Nation wonders how ad guys from Vitaminwater do it
Superstitious baseball players always steps into batter’s box before swinging at pitches
Woman places poison in orange juice at Starbucks
Area man likes to think of himself
Dad busy throwing seed or something on lawn
Woody Allen extremely busy updating WoodyAllen.com
17-year cicadas horrified to learn about 9-11
Picking thing up from apartment floor rescheduled for tomorrow
Man derives depressing amount of pride from hometown burger chain
Every glass in cupboard visibly filthy
Possum gazes Longley at family walking dog
My combo: Superstitious possum gazes at hip-hop, so reschedules swinging at Woody Allen for tomorrow

These are priceless:

None of the Onions caught my fancy today, but I did enjoy perusing Woody Allen’s website where I found out that his latest movie is an update of “A Streetcar Named Desire.”
Concerning your golf game, I’ve got a new shot to show you that is GUARANTEED to help put your team over the top in spite of the short amount of time remaining!

I have a hard time believing a shot better than “See the ball, hit the ball.”

Based upon your observation of my swing and my golf scores over the past 28 years, your skepticism is justified.

intellectually, i go with dad throwing seeds. however, the cicadas got the most noticeable reaction. what’s your golfing strength? driving? mid irons? short game? putting? i used to be excellent off the tee, but i seem to have lost that. now, chipping, pitching, and putting save me.

Rich,
My golf game is good enough to be off enough whenever. Overall, putting is my weakest …. trouble more often starts from the tee. …. yesterday’s round was loaded with blah … thus lousy footage for ESPN highlights.
