Annual Rib Off
I ate a month's worth of protein at yesterday's annual Rib Off. I had all KINDS of bbq and for dessert I had homemade blueberry pie with real whipped cream. Following that I enjoyed a chocolate flavored cigar with the gang out front. Yes, I did taste that for the rest of the night..but it was a tiny one and not too strong.

Dish TV FTW
I had the great pleasure of canceling my service with Comcast today. Oh now they want to give me a rate of $20/month and it's too late. When I called two months ago to see if they could find a lower rate for me, they said no. So now I have Dish TV. It's better and cheaper. The new wiring was done much better, and doesn't look like hell the way Comcast had it. I'm on slab, so the wiring has to run along the outside of the house, they used grey cable instead of the black coax that was there. The new cable is thinner too, and wraps better around corners.
Sunday, Jan and I had to finagle returning her golf clubs and getting new ones ordered from Golfsmith. (She's lefty) The store she went to in San Carlos was a nightmare, she should have yelped it first. The Golfsmith in Santa Clara is the polar opposite, and we were treated very well there. What a difference. The other store would not take her clubs back, but this one did. Lesson learned, yelp is your friend.
I have 6 massive mosquito bites that threatened to make me 100% insane instead of 99.8% that I already am. It's maddening. Luckily I have Benadryl Gel, it works right away and lasts about 3 hours.
Jan and I are going to the driving range again tonight. I've been bitten by the golf bug too. I must taste yummay.

Practice, practice, practice
Jan and I went to the Burlingame Golf Center yesterday to practice what we learned at our lesson last week. Tonight at our second golf lesson, we find out if we're doing it right or what the heck we're forgetting. In any case, the food at the clubhouse was kickass fancy Mexican food with cheap Mexican food prices. That alone was worth the drive. The range is pretty, and you can watch planes land as you swing. The wind was not fun at all, however. Tonight we're in sunny San Jose, no need to dress for the tundra.
