I played in my first ever disc golf tournament today.
And sucked.
But it was fun. I shot a 90 on a pary 72, so I was +18. The good players were under par. I would have been about five strokes under that had I not putted at least five times on the last hole, after laying the disc only feet from the hole on the tee shot.
And yes, like real golf you use a variety of different things -- drivers, mid-ranges, putters. And it's fun and cheap!

Rushed speech, lost opportunity
Looks like I'm not the only one who thought Kerry blew it.
Although I was never a big fan of his to begin with. But I wasn't all that impressed with his oratory.

well, I fell like I've made some major life accomplishments.
For the first time I...
...saw Starship Troopers. It made me hurt.
...went to Home Depot. It was a big warehouse type place but I couldn't find any employees, so I went to Ace Hardware. (Ace is the Place with the Helpful Hardware Man)
...bought plexiglass.
...bought scrapbooking supplies at Hobby Lobby.
...made a cool photo collage. It took the combined brain power of my sister and I, but it's done.
When a friend & his wife announced they were moving (he's been a youth pastor I've worked with) I took a bunch of black & white photos of students and sponsors, hoping to do something with them. I couldn't figure out what. My sister suggested making a three layer photo montage. I bought a movie poster frame. It has one sheet of plexiglass in it. I had two more cut to fit the frame.
I bought these photo stickers at Hobby Lobby (the kind that stick the pic to something) and stuck a bunch of B&W photos to the back sheet of plexi. I overlapped some, and left several gaps.
On the next sheet, I layered some color pics to fill in the gaps, and cover up portions of the B&W pics. It creates a nice dimensional piece. I chose not to put a mat in the back, so it really does have a lot of depth.
The front sheet is the one that came with the frame. Nothing's attached to it.
It looks really cool. And you can make it at home too!
Start with the poster frame. You don't use it for anything but as a glass to cover the art inside. And the other two sheets get covered with photos. I left some gaps so you'll be able to see the wall through it in patches. I'm proud. I'll post a pic later.

Bono Moves to Preempt Thieves
Ok, so some moron stoll a copy of the new, unreleased U2 album. And Bono says if it ends up on the internet, guess what, U2 will put the songs on iTunes and have card copies by the end of the month.
Thereby screwing up months of planning. Well, that's not quite how he said he. Read the article if you want to see his word choice :)

NTV - What's New
I'm getting too good at reporting on funerals. This isn't a comment on the current war, but as a reporter, I'd rather not have to cover funerals. Too emotionally draining to deal with grieving people when I'm not getting paid for it.
