U.S. Open

I don't know about you, but I find it hard to watch the U.S. Open. It is just so hard.

Tons of balls in the rough. Impossible to advance the ball out of the rough more than 100-125 yards. The greens are ridiculously fast. Nearly impossible to put down hill. Everybody is stumbling. Surprisingly, Rickie Fowler posted a 67 yesterday. At the beginning of the week, I thought that Steve Stricker had a really good opportunity to win one. He is struggling today. Phil Mickelson was in the lead earlier and is now falling back. So far, the best round of the day – Jason Dufner. Who knows who'll be able to keep themselves together, keep the ball on the fairway and be able to putt on these impossible greens? Who will come away with the victory?

Artist: Tom Scott and the LA Express
Tune: Rock Island Rocket

It was 1974 and I was playing pool with a friend of mine in his basement. He had what was at the time the best stereo that I'd ever heard. He put on this album called Tom Cat. It was my first introduction to jazz. It simply blew my mind.
