Journeys of A Meandering Mind

I just had a conversation with someone, and my thoughts turned to the dating scene. If you’ve read my blog, you know I am a widow after 28 years of a really good marriage. So it has been 30 plus years since I had a date. So I thought I would have some fun and [...]

Many of you know that I am going to the World Masters Games in Sydney in October.

I played on an amazing high school basketball team. We were very successful as a team, and in all my years of playing and coaching, I never again experienced the “magic” of a true team.

Wait…that sounds SO wrong ;-)
I Googled “how to clean your golf balls”…and the results were…amusing.
From regular soap and water…to denture tablets, to using the washing machine ( and softening your jeans at the same time), to bleach, to WD-40..the suggestions were numerous.
