Early run up to Rexx Rug and WFM to get #6 rug quote and some Bruno's Health Bread .... unbelievably, just like sour rustic nordic rye bread, right here in white-bread America!

Jackson Park GC. First golf outing of the season; with Karl. Karl ahead up to the last hole, when I curled in a par putt to win. Beautiful day: sun breaking through the clouds occasionally, no others on course. Plenty of time to set up each shot, and to look for errant balls. GBP=+9.

Carry golf is golf where I carry my bag of clubs, setting it down on the ground for each shot. No spring-loaded legs or other paraphenalia to ease the chore of lifting the bag and shouldering it after each of 100+ shots. Logged about half the time I spent out there, figuring that I was standing around the rest of the time, talking, waiting or sizing up a shot.

First golf of the season: bright sun, very windy, used hybrid, #5 and #7 clubs. Tried to remember my golf swing from last fall...that wonderful late-fall day last December: early morning outing at Palo Alto Municipal in the warm California sun, bouillabaisse lunch at the Fish Market, then the BAOC Stanford Memory-O, Night-O and social, and then the Red-eye back to ORD.

Finally finished my 1040; over to the copy shop, then post office late in the afternoon to get that, plus two '08 tax checks, in the mail. Filed IL 1040 on-line at last moment when I realized I'd screwed up the last paper form I had. Tried again to set up a federal payment account but website wouldn't take my info.

Over to Newport to show apt at noon. Temps in mid-40's but sunny. Big warm-up coming this week...can't wait. Golf with Karl by Thursday?
