Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Microseconds of peace and quiet

Happy Fathers Day to me! And to Dad! And to all Dads!

We had a very nice day. Went to Lake George straight from church. Kids had fun on the beach. Also went to the playground there for awhile. Later I took John to Bunker Beach. I bbq'd some pork spare ribs for supper. Mmmmmm.

The US Open is done, won by Michael Campbell. Well, once again the USGA has failed to identify the best golfer. That's what they always say, they don't want to embarrass the best golfers, they want to identify them.

Well, guys named Gore and Browne were in the last groups, and Campbell, who hasn't won in forever in these parts, wins. The US Open is my least favorite of the majors, because the ridiculous setups are just trick golf, and it's basically a roll of the dice as to who will win.

Campbell is another one on the list now for Phil Mickelson, as in Mickelson now has the same number of majors as Campbell, Rich Beem, Bob Tway, Jerry Pate, Shaun Micheel, Ben Curtis, Larry Mize, etc... If I were Phil, that would be a motivating factor to beef up that legacy thing.
