A few thoughts while enjoying the humidity of mid-summer New England and this delectable regional delicacy:

My golf clubs are exactly 3.7 miles away from my folks’ apartment at the UPS distribution center and I can’t get to them. So, going through withdrawal symptoms, I went up to the Golf & Ski Warehouse in Hudson, NH and asked for a small bucket of balls to hit a bunch of TaylorMade RocketBallz irons. Just to swing a club after nine days of inactivity felt like a tonic to the soul and senses. In my head I know I’m still working hard on my game – hard to believe that in just 11 days my golf quest for 2012 will be over.

It’s so summer here. You can’t imagine how enjoyable heat is without the dust.

What a cool story this is. You do what you gotta do to survive.
