Jack has volunteered to help at the International, a PGA Tour event that is being held in a nearby town. Since he got some passes, I will be going up tomorrow. I’ve never watched any professional golf before. I am glad that I checked the site, since I learned that cameras are not permitted.

Avedon’s Other Weblog
I didn’t know that Avedon was posting in her other weblog until she linked to my photo of the sunset the other day. Her most active weblog is The Sideshow.

The Princess and the Peas
I rode Her Royal Highness yesteday in a class lesson with my trainer. I tempted fate when I was looking for the horse that turned out to be Lily: I said something at one point along the lines of “at least, if I find another horse, he can’t be as difficult to deal with as Hap.”
