Wednesday - Mar 7th

A chillier day today, I think it only got up to about 64F & a cool wind blew. The wind died down from last night when it was very strong. It is supposed to be cool until Thursday, then warm up again. You really have to experience how cold it gets at night in the desert, I think it was only about plus 10c tonight. An early start to the day with golf for me and a road trip to Globe for Marg. I took a new guy from Ohio to golf, his brother-in-law here is the one I trade western pocket books with. It was cool and windy, so no shorts today. Must be my Canadian roots, but I played my best game since I got here. I drained the long putt on #5 with one that was about 18ft. It was luck, because on the next hole I missed a 6 or 7 footer for par. Go figure! Mel, the guy I took won the closest to the pin on #7 with a real nice tee shot, so he was very happy. For my part I got $18 that was in the pool for longest putt. Marg went with 6 other ladies in a van to the casino in Globe. This is becoming a regular thing with them and they have a ball, lots of laughs. She didn't bring back a big sack of money, but did come pretty close to even, so a good day. It's quite a hike from here, about an hour & a half on the highway. After golf I had to make lunch as there was no one here to do it, then only played pool for about an hour as I had too many other things to do. One of the markers from golf was broken, so I repaired it and took it back to the organizer. I vaccumed, washed some dishes, emptied sewers, got mail, etc. Nothing major but all time consuming. For supper Bob & Gary cooked fish. They wanted to do a fish fry for all the pool players, aerobics people and spouses. I think there were about 60 or so. Really did a nice job on the fish and everyone brought a dish, like pot luck. Poker tonight and I had a lucky streak again. My little sack of coins is pretty heavy tonight. Life is good!
