All posts for the day July 30th, 2008

Who would actually believe it? Philly finally has a championship. That’s rights Arena Football fans, the Philly Soul won at the Arena Bowl and are the champs. It was quite a game actually. Both teams traded scores back and forth through most of the first half, and Philly finally came up with the first defensive stop, as well as coming up with an interception. The Soul were up with only 2 minutes remaining in the game, and the onside kicks came into play. By the end of the game, the Soul only won by 3 and I had to take an extra pill for my blood pressure.

I finally got in my first 18 holes of golf. Take note, this really is only my 3rd time touching a set of clubs. I didn’t really expect much actually, which really helped. Old Homestead Golf Course is right across the street from my office, so we decided to start there. I was up and down, shooting 76 for the first 9 and eventually cleaning up with 66 for the back 9 (that’s a total of 142 if you couldn’t do the math in your head). While that put me in the official category of “Sucks,” I did learn a lot. I unfortunately tend to top the ball a lot, which really doesn’t help. I also slice off the tee like a madman. However, practice makes perfect. But, I also learned way back in high school that “perfect practice makes perfect,” so I have a lot of work to do. At any rate, I picked up a lot and felt a lot better when I drained a 40 foot put on the last hole.
