THE ANTICIPATION
10 to 6 on a Sunday evening and Mike Weir just missed a putt by less than a foot to put him in a playoff with Vijay Singh at the Canadian Open. Playoff starting in 10 minutes and I’m going to go crazy. Weir blew a 3 shot lead to get to this point.
Update #1: They both birdied the first playoff hole so it’s off to the 17th. The drama continues.
Update #2: Weir missed a chance to win on the 17th and has just put his tee shot on the 18th into thick rough.
Update #3: Weir just put his approach shot into the water while Singh is just off the green. Not looking real good for the Canadian hopes.
Final update: Vijay Singh wins the Canadian Open with a par on the 3rd playoff hole. Mike Weir gave it his best but just couldn’t beat the worlds #1 golfer.
THAT’S A RELIEF

I AM 21% WHITE TRASH!
I, my friend, have class. I am so not white trash. . I am more than likely Democrat, and my place is neat, and there is a good chance I may never drink wine from a box.

SUNDAY’S PICTURE

The 2004-2005 NFL season has finally started. Here’s a picture from my bus trip to Buffalo last year. From left to right, we have Mike Cuttle- owner of Jake’s Boathouse, Ross Haacke- one of my coworkers and yours truly.

IS IT ARTSY OR FARTSY
I howled when I saw this collection of Senior photos where the lensmen decide to let their “artistic” side go wild. Faces have been obscured to protect the stupid.

ANI DIFRANCO SAYS IT BEST
I missed posting yesterday on the 3rd anniversary of 9/11. It doesn’t mean it wasn’t in my mind as well as in the minds of millons of others.
Seems like a good time to revisit Ani Difranco’s brilliant “Self Evident”. (Lyrics)

BELL CANADIAN OPEN
Had a great day at Glen Abbey yesterday watching some of the best golfers in the world strut their stuff. The weather was perfect and our vantage point couldn’t have been better. We were in a private box at the back of the 18th green. Watched some tremendous shot making. Canadian boy Mike Weir goes into the final round with a 3 shot lead and I’ll be glued to the TV this afternoon cheering him on.
Xerox Canada fed us and made sure a cold beer was always at hand. Walked around some and got a chance to see almost everyone in the field close up except Phil Michelson. Most of these guys are short but they hit a golf ball a mile. BTW, when you see Jesper Parenvek’s bright pants on TV, they’re actually uglier when you see them live.
Spent some time talking to a jib operator, Graham Dunnell, who was getting video of shots on the Par 3 third hole. His company’s website has some footage of what they offer and I couldn’t believe how he manhandles that thing around.
