Yesterday AJ and I went to "GOLF Headquarters" and hit a bunch of balls at their driving range.  I had only done this once before (a couple of years ago), and I really enjoyed it then so I was looking forward to doing it again.  We had a great time, and so today we went back and played their 9 hole par 3 course.  It was awesome! 🙂  I have some pictures below.  (At the bottom I am holding up 4 fingers because I scored a kosher par 4 on that hole – oh yeah!)

My new niece was born yesterday evening… I don’t have many details, but I know she’s doing well (as is my sister) and I think her name is Alexandra.  🙂

Happy Birthday Allie!

It’s hot now.  And humid.  And I know it was just very recently that I was complaining that it was cold here, and so dry.  But that’s the way things go in St. Louis.  I think we had our ~2 weeks of nice spring weather, but it’s hard to notice them when they are interspersed with weird cold rainy days.  I enjoyed a few "Seattle" type days in the past couple of weeks, but now we’ve entered summer with a vengance and it’s time to start moaning about the heat and the humidity.

Supposed to be 90F today.  50% humidity all day, then it increases to ~75% overnight.  And there are T-storms predicted.  Which means that any local TV shows that I have recording tonight will be interrupted by the weather woman telling eveyone that it’s raining – with some thunder even – and they probably shouldn’t venture outside lest they get wet, or scared, or hit by lightning.  They do this every time there’s a thunderstorm and I don’t see what difference it makes.  Tornadoes, sure.  Hurricanes, sure.  I can see how warning and things might help.  But c’mon people, it’s a thunderstorm.  And I want to watch American Idol or Alias or House or whatever in peace.
