It was a glorious day to be on the links and with everyone at the Pro Am, there weren't many people to run into on the course. We spent six and a half hours out there. We took our time, but we also did a lot of hunting for lost balls. Near the end we were just dropping new balls quickly and we need to remember that next time.
I hit a couple of 220 yard drives straight down the fairway and sunk a couple of nice putts. It was enough to make me enthusiastic about returning despite the 273 other horrible strokes. (I don't keep score since I can't count that high.) I am no good at the game, but love it anyway.
If you get a chance to play Regent Park, do it. It's a beautiful and challenging course.
Wednesday night I made a point to attend pottery class since I had a heads-up from my friend Rick that our old buddy and teacher, Doug was going to be there on a trip from his home in NYC. I wasn't disappointed since he showed up and hadn't changed much at all in the twelve years since we last saw him. He came in with a bunch of his pots and proceeded to sell a lot of them to a hungry crowd. Doug is an amazing potter and he hasn't lost his touch at all. It was great seeing him and I wish I could have spent more time with him but he had many other people to see during his visit. We all hope he comes back soon and doesn't wait another twelve years to make an appearance.
Hole number one at Regent Park Golf Club.

It only lasted a minute.

If I leave a pot on a wheel unattended
Ju-Ian can sometimes quietly add a frog
to it before I return.
I quite like the little guy.

what a sweet frog to be given.
You said it! I hope he makes it through the process.
