I was going back through some of the photos I took over the weekend, and somehow missed this one… I wonder how long they are going to have to wait until they find "clean dirt?"

My favorite sports and activities have involved targeting and aiming in one fashion or another – disc golf, regular golf, pool, darts, bowling (even though I’m no good at it and never get many chances to bowl.) Some sports that might not pop into mind also fit this category – racquet sports, such as racquetball … Read More “There’s shooting, then there’s shooting” »

This was just one example of the obstacles for our Memorial Day Disc Golf Round at Holmes Park. Not only was there a volleyball net stretching across the fifth fairway, but the ninth basket was completely missing, having been removed to make way for new playground equipment. Either have a disc golf course, or … Read More “What’s wrong with this picture?” »

I should be teaching. That realization hit me like a ton of bricks during dinner this evening. It seems that every time I learn something new, I immediately try to figure out some way to teach it. Take for example my recent discovery about SLR vs DSLR lenses – my first thought was to post … Read More “Teaching” »

The groundbreaking was attended by several Furman notables, including Dr. Townes … Read More “Groundbreaking” »

I think it’s terrible that they handicap those race horses. Our good friends Chris and Vicky have a Derby Party each year. Once a year, my interest in horse racing moves beyond just reading Dick Francis novels. Could be three times a year, if there is a true Triple-Crown contender, but I don’t think that … Read More “Derby Day” »

It seemed like a good idea at the time. The Piedmont Plant Festival was happening this weekend at the Greenville Farmers Market. Despite the crowds, I was looking forward to the interesting wares, and particularly one wonderful baker that shows up for this festival. I had forgotten about the plants themselves and what that might … Read More “Farmers Market” »
