Atlantic Canada
July 7, 2006
Meredith and I are in the middle of our summer vacation: Driving out East to explore the Atlantic provinces. We drove through Ottawa for Canada Day celebrations and then moved on to Quebec City. I have never been East of Ottawa, so even Quebec City was a new experience... I loved it! Better at night than at day. We've now been through New Brunswick and PEI and are in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The odometer is at about 2600 kilometers but we've still got lots of energy to see the sights. What a beautiful country!

Almost a hole in one
June 21, 2006
On Monday, dad and I played the creekside golf course in Woodstock. Although it consists mainly of par 3s, I find the pace of play quite enjoyable. It makes for a lot of tee shots, and a good number of reasonable shots at a hole in one. I've started to wonder whether I'll ever get one... the odds aren't great, especially when you rarely hit the green! But I had quite a good night on Monday and actually had two close calls. The first was a tiny 110 yard par 3. I hit my pitching wedge right at it... the ball landed 11 feet in front of the hole and then rolled 2.5 feet past the pin. But the really close call was a 180 yard par 3. I hit my 7 iron; not a pretty shot, but the ball ended up about 1.5 feet directly behind the hole. I have to wonder how it got there: Maybe I even liped out?! Anyway, it was an exciting event and it made me realize that while the odds are slim, it is in fact quite possible.

I came across this Windows Vista desktop wallpaper a couple of days ago. It's a really nice, soft grass wallpaper. Download it here.
