FORE!

I am happy to say that with the new year comes a new post! To all of our die hard fans out there who have been anxiously awaiting the next chapter in our quest to learn new things, thank you for your patience. It's not that we haven't learned anything since summer, it's just that other parts of life kind of stepped in and took us away from our blogging duties. That said, it is such a pleasure to be back with the latest lesson: hitting balls at the driving range.

Meet Danny. Many moons ago, when this blog came to be, Danny graciously offered to give me some tips on hitting balls, as in golf balls, at a golf course. Truth is, I have golf clubs that I got a while back. I have played a miniscule amount, but often times I find myself getting a bit frustrated and wanting to throw in the golf towel, and head to the nearest cafe for a hot cup of tea.  I have always enjoyed the outside part of golf though, and given the sunny Tuesday we were recently graced with, I was actually excited to get to the driving range from a little fresh air.


Danny provided me with some important tips:

1. Choke down on my club.
2. Keep my head down.

He also provided me with advice that really matches my golf philosophy:

"Have some confidence. It's only golf, it's just a game."

Amen.

So, my golf swing is surely still in need of some great adjustments, but overall, our lesson was fun and I look forward to playing a par 3 sometime soon.

Strangely, I looked at your blog probably literally moments before you posted this . . . glad to see this! You should bring your clubs to San Ramon and we could hit a few on the driving range.

Sounds good! Let's get Lauren out too. I insist on a homemade full serving of fruit cocktail afterwards as well!

A lazy Sunday....

We are embarking on a journey of discovery. We realized not long ago that we know a lot of great people that know a lot of great things. We also realized that we know nothing. Okay, so that is not exactly true. Between the three of us we can analyze storm water runoff for EPA compliance, salsa dance well into the night, and insert IUDs with ease. But let's be realistic, that's only the very tip of the iceberg. Just thinking about our immediate family we realized that there is so much to learn. Thus, we have decided to embark on a journey to learn 100 new things. Of course we have set up a few rules: 1. One of our teachers each year must be under 8 years old. 2. One of our teachers each year must at least 80 years old. 3. We must learn at least 2 things a month. Only one of us has to be present at a learning session so long that the person blogs about their experience. 4. Each person can teach us no more than 3 things. Suggestions are welcome! So let us know what you can tea...

My name is L-I, L-I...

So, what was that old rhyme really about anyway? And what exactly do you call that hand clapping routine that goes along with it? I am willing to bet that most people (especially ladies) around my age can recall the words to My Name is L-I, L-I, Chickali, chickali...although I am coming to find that there are some variations by region and age. For example the youngest of us three seems to recall something random thing being in the rhyme, and the older, wiser ones recall something about someone named Lester? Or was it Vester?  Anyhow, these "clapping songs" have been around a  long, long time and they seem to mutate every year. How do they have anything to do with our blog? Well, yesterday I was sitting around with my cousin's daughter, Bianca, at a birthday party. Now, the majority of the people at the party were adults, so it was no surprise that after a little while Bianca turned to me with that kid complaint, "I'm bored!!!!!"  Of course when a child speak...
