The Fair
Monroe County, NY 9:25 AM When you mention the words County Fair or State Fair, we all have different images pop into our heads. For some of us it is walking around with our family getting as close to farm animals as you’ve ever been. For others it is eating all of the fair food: fried dough, corn dogs, burgers, grilled corn, etc… For others we think about all of the voices beckoning us to “Step right up, win a prize,” and the games that follow. I remember shooting a clowns mouth with water, dropping ping pong balls into fish bowls, throwing a ball to knock down milk jugs, pitching...

The Open Championship, or at least what it is called everywhere but here, our British Open has begun. I am not in contention in my golf Majors pool, but it only takes one good tournament to get back up there. Tiger is the choice to win, but I’ve already used him. My 7: Sergio Garcia Justin Leonard Darren Clarke Peter Lonard Davis Love Kenny Perry Michael Campbell We’ll see what happens. Last year if you had 7 out of 7 make the cut, you would win. This year it’s been much different. I don’t know if people are researching more or the better players are doing better, but we are having...

Rochester, NY 6:05 PM Because the life of a seeker doesn’t pay like the life of a salesperson, I hadn’t walked through the mall in many months. Today I dropped my car off at Circuit City so they could take out the GPS system I tried out. It worked pretty good, but no one was too helpful in figuring out a way to integrate it with my website. But, for trip #2 out west I will definitely get one. It is cool to be able to see on a map, down to the street, where I am, in real time. I had 45 minutes to kill. I walked around CC, drooling at the TV’s, video cameras, and digital cameras. I had an...

Rochester, NY 9:40 PM It’s Sunday night and I sit in the recliner typing and flipping the channels. There is a Housewives rerun. The girls look good, but no. There are some reality BS shows on, No. ESPN has St. Louis and San Francisco baseball. This was OK as I needed some filler while I did some database entry, now, no. PBS has some English soap or drama, no. Fox has the Family Guy, that will work. Wait, it’s a repeat. Anyway, I sit here with my first major sunburn of the summer. I had some block on my shoulders and nose, but my chest got it. I got back here after lunch with the lady...
