The "Make Up Your Own Caption" contest

Paula Creamer is going into Sunday's final round with a six-stroke lead, which is nice, since I live in the Philadelphia market and there isn't any football to watch on Sunday. The Eagles are playing, but there isn't any football to watch.
Almost as good as that is the fact that I've found a box of my old Matchbox cars that will soon find a home on Ebola. It would be better if I had the boxes, but the cars are still in great shape. I'd get more for them if I had the boxes, but I can't do anything about that. Who saves the boxes?

Yesterday, Suzann Pettersen was penalized two strokes because the TV cameras caught her accidentally moving her ball to avoid an obstruction. From her angle, she couldn't see the ball move, but the camera caught it. After the round, LPGA officials watched the video replay and assessed the penalty. Just like those Funniest Home Videos where somebody's pants fall down at a wedding reception - twenty years ago, maybe ten people would have seen it, now it's on the World Wide Web and a national TV show. Nothing funny about that.

Cameras are everywhere, and just like the prison colony at French Guiana, there is no escape.

Remember gang, I don't take the pictures, I just post them.

Anna Kournikova was informed late today that she is no longer the most admired female sports athelete by men. Paula Creamer, come on down!

I'm definately not a sports junkie, but even I know that you're not supposed to move a golf ball. Thank you Happy Gilmore.

Thirteen Little Quirks Don't Judge 1. Shaking Hands. I'm starting to get a little goofy about shaking hands. When a stranger shakes my hand, I am uneasy until I can find a chance to wash. 2. Door Handles. Likewise. I usually grip the handle someplace where I think others aren't. When I can, I push with my elbow or closed fist. I don't get sick much, either. 3. I trim my underarm hair. I think that's good for everyone involved. 4. Change . I almost never use change. If something is $1.01 and I have a nickel, they're not getting it. Take a penny, leave a penny? Go ahead, I have a change jar to maintain. 5. Penmanship and spelling. A high priority. If you saw my handwriting, you would know what I mean. Strangers compliment me on it. I look at it as both artwork and a courtesy to the people I'm communicating with that they can read and comprehend whan I'm doing. The downside is that I can never get away with anything based on not being able to read my handw...

My weekly supermarket trip is generally odd enough to support a blog of its own, but God (and Bill O'Reilly) knows I don't need something else to do. Last night, I'm standing in line with my usual assortment of odd items, when I see the woman in front of me hesitate for a moment. The cashier had told her that her order came to $124.25, and this caused the woman to ponder, "I want to make this check out so that I get cash back. What's the limit?" That's right - the check . Of course, the cashier didn't know, because ... c'mon, who writes checks to begin with? She turned to a co-worker and asked. The response came back that the limit was $30. The woman was relieved, for some unknown reason. She said she needed more than $25. She looked at the total again, and then started to make out the check. "Is it OK if I make this out for $150 even ? I need a little extra." Which, actually is a question and a statament, but I digress. She proce...

Thirteen Things That Scare Me a Little The Christmas decorations are up at the local mall, but never mind that. Tuesday is Hallowe'en. 1. Any letter from my Condo Association. It makes my heart skip a beat. Usually it's something really stupid that I'm not doing. Tell the people who are doing it and leave me alone. 2. Spam e-mail with T.M.I. I recently got a Spam message that contained my first and last name, from a Landon Nicholson (no relation) telling me that "Your history shows that your Viagra prescription is ready to be re-filled." Uh-huh. My personal history shows that I need Viagra like I need a hair dryer and a comb. 3. When the Boss says, "You got a minute?" He never calls me in to chit-chat. 4. Dying alone. I don't need to elaborate on that, except to say that if I needed Viagra, I wouldn't be worried about it. 5. George W. Bush with his hand on the Bible. I keep waiting for it to burst into flames . 6. My spin instructo...
