* We learned two very important things at last night's board meeting: 1) Our money looks good, and play has picked up considerably with the nicer weather.  2) There are many upcoming events which will bring in even more money.  We were just trying to find a Saturday night for our course anniversary celebration and had to go to the last Saturday of September!  That is a very good problem to have, but  if you want to book something for the course or clubhouse or banquet hall, you better get on the horn and call the clubhouse soon.

And then the fight started...

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive...
so, I took her to a gas station... and then the fight started...

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.
 
My wife asked,'Do you know her?'
'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right
after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'
 
'My God!' says my wife, 'Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'
 
And then the fight started...

Parting Shot:


 As of our golf board meeting last night, the word is the judge ruled in favor of the sale of the golf course land.  Yes!  However, there are still some loose ends to tie together before it is a closed deal.  I will keep you posted...
