Post Golf

Beautiful day. Sunny, light breeze and magificent scenery. It was wonderful to be on the fairways. Fresh air, a slight tinge of ozone, bright sunlight producing long, long shadows across the greens. I always think we should play the first hole as a practice then start scoring on the second and replay the first as the 19th. It always takes me a few holes to get grooved in. Tiger Woods is reputed to have said, 'The laws of physics are the same throughout the Universe, except on a golf course.' And, you know, the young man has something there. Live and dead wood both have an uncanny attractive force for dimpled, Surlyn-covered spheres, and balls which you would swear were sitting larger-than-life in the middle of the fairway, are regularly hidden down their burrows by unseen bunnies who sell them back to the club house later.

The gloopy oxtail stew is delicious; another bowlfull and then replace the oxtail bones with beef bones and continue creating.
