Well for those of you who have suddenly taken such and interest in my car purchasing to a point where you've started prayer groups in front of city hall demanding that the supreme court stop us from buying an SUV let me put your put your fears and worries to rest... Wifey and I decided not to buy an SUV. After a talk with pappa Holtonian I was convinced in about a minute of the pointlessness of us buying a new car at this juncture. So what does this mean? It means the hot and sexy hubcapless Nissan Sentra that hasn't been washed in a year will remain my ride. Wifey will keep her killer Cav and we'll just keep both of them until we can find something cheap that we can get to replace both. Now this doesn't mean an SUV isn't in store for the future, but for the immediate future disaster has been averted. Yuppy Paradise Postponed....
This weekend was a busy one. Wifey's friends Eric and Kendal came down for a visit late friday night. I took Eric out for a round of golf on saturday morning to Moccasin Bend Golf Course. It was my first time on a golf course in two years. Too long had my love been neglected for the sport of rich people. I used to be decent, not great, but I could shoot in the nineties usually... well this time... not so good. I didn't break a hundred but towards the end I overcame heat, hunger, a jerk yelling at me, and finished the last few holes well. I made a chip strait into the hole for par and pared the last hole too. The jerk was some putz who seemed to think that the slow country boys infront of eric and i were somehow not the reason for the slow play. Now the country boys were just enjoying their saturday morning, taking two shots when they wanted, relaxing in the cart, and hootin and hollerin like a couple of Confederates at the Battle of Bull Run. I had no problem with them, in fact i found it entertaining to see four guys have so much fun and suck at the same time. Well the Jerk yelled at me while i was teeing up my shot, "Whats the hold up boys?" I looked at him like "Uhh... your mom??" but I just took my shot and walked away. Then as we are walking off the green a shot wizzed over Erics head from the Jerk's party. We just ignored it and kept on walking. The next hole we wait for the country boys to take their second shot and then we hit ours. As i'm walking off the tee box the jerk yells at me to hit my ball sooner. I yell back at him to have some patience. He huffs and puffs and drives his golf cart over to me and proceeds to instruct me on playing golf. First off I know how to play golf, I may not be very good, but i know the rules and most of the etiquette, I wasn't about to hit into some guys that were just having fun. Also I'm on foot so it takes me a little longer to get to my ball than mister fancy pants in his cart. Plus if the jerk o was in such a hurry he could have asked to play through..... I think we all know who the real dumb redneck is.... Anyway I've decided to schedule my golf outings when the Vols and the Bulldogs are playing to guarantee the fact that i won't be annoyed by annoying people rushing me so they can get back to watch their prescious college football. The best day to play will be when the Vols play the Dogs... i'll be at the links oblvious to the entire college football universe that i have never cared two licks about.
Anyway Other than golf we ate with our girls at the Mudpie and I got my favorite, California Pizza which consists of avacado, cheese, black olives, and bacon four things that were made four each other. Then we stayed up late playing a mean game of spades. I lost the first game with Kendal (it was her first time playing and as Jay can attest to I'm dumber than a brick) the second game i pulled off two double nills one that almost won us the match but we were four points short of the other team.
Wifey started her first day at the Cricket Licker, I mean the crocker locker, Cryer Lier, or is Creike Leike? She had a good day. It was cool parking right across the street from Cigna and not have to worry about my car being towed.
Not much else to talk about... but let me recap no SUV so don't worry.
