The image you see posted on the left is currently at Apple’s homepage and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen the phrase “24/365” used. Thank you Apple! Maybe the whole world will finally realize that 24/7/365 doesn’t make sense. If you want to say 24/7/52 that’s fine, but 24/7/365 just doesn’t fly. There are 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, and 52 weeks in a year. There are not 365 weeks in a year or 365 weeks in anything for that matter. Just use 24/365 and the world will be a happier place. Pass the word.

Booked Sunday
An hour ago I didn’t have any plans set in stone for the weekend. Now my Sunday is booked solid. First, my Dad invited me up to play a golf course in Harrisville called Loggers Trace at 12:30. He has some type of connection and we are golfing for free. Can’t argue with that so I said “Yes” right away. As I looked at Google Maps to find out where it was, I noticed Hubbard Lake was only about 30 minutes away from Harrisville. The light bulb went off over my head and while chatting with Mo we decided to meet at 9am and bike around the 23 miles around the lake. After looking at the maps a little closer we probably could have pushed it back to 9:30 and I’d still have enough time to find the golf course, but I’d rather have more time than I need so that I can clean up a bit and find some food. I love packing a lot into a short little summer day trip like this. Keeps me active and busy.
If It Ain't Rough, It Ain't Right
The Detroit Pistons once again showed their toughness last night, winning game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Miami Heat still hold a lead in the series at 3-2, but the pressure is now on them to win game 6 on their home court. Everyone knows the Miami doesn’t want to end up in a game 7 back at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Detroit doesn’t lose in those types of games at home.
Last night was the first time in a couple of weeks where the Pistons actually looked like the same team that went 64-18 in the regular season. If the Pistons came play with the same intensity they did last night and Rasheed Wallace can show up for a game I like our chances on Friday night. Don’t count this team out just yet.

Same Old
Not much change in my golf scoring lately. I’ve only broke into the 30s once this year and haven’t been in the 50s in weeks. Every time out on the course I’m shooting somewhere between 41 and 47. I just can’t get over the hump. One round my driving will be great, but my chipping sucks and the next it could be just the opposite. I continue to work on my driver when I go to the range because I seem to shoot the best when I’m driving the ball well.
My putting has been the best part of my game all year and I’m usually making16 putts or less for 9 holes. I think I just need one of those breakout rounds to get me going and get that final boost in confidence.

I'd Rather Be Home Playing WOW
Overheard on Friday night in the movie theater as The Da Vinci Code was about to begin…
I’m not even excited for this movie anymore. I should just go home and play WOW.
“Wow” is right. I hope I never get the urge to play the game.
By the way, I thought the movie was an excellent adaptation of the book. Big thumbs up to Ron Howard, Tom Hanks, and Dan Brown.
