Hitting the Links
This weekend is a golf weekend. I played 9 holes at the executive-length Texas Sundown Ranch course in Sanger yesterday in preparation for a full round at Keeton Park in Dallas.
I did much better than usual yesterday, which is still definitely not good. I still need to work out the nasty slice I have when using my driver. At least my short game is getting better.
Going back to the Tuesday Bike Night mentioned last post, it was a blast. I’ve done it the past two weeks in a row and it’s a lot of fun. Lots of cool people and cool, old bikes. I will definitely be doing it again and again.
I’ve been using the Google Chrome Dev Builds for Linux on and off for the past couple of weeks, and I’ve noticed that it’s a lot faster than Firefox on my netbook. Here’s to hoping they release the real deal soon.
The Week Off
I’m really excited. I found out last week that my request for a week off of work was approved. Now I’ve got an entire week – the week of my birthday, mind you – to fill with fun things to do. But the real challenge is finding what to do. Go to a Rangers game? Take a train trip to Austin? (I’ve always wanted to try out Amtrak.) I’m not entirely sure yet. I know I’ll probably make a quick trip over to Dallas to finally play golf with my uncle again. It was a lot of fun the last time.
Anyway, rewinding back to this next week, I’m also excited about Tuesday Bike Night, a weekly bike ride that starts at the Language building at UNT, goes God knows where, and ends back at the Lang Building. This is my first time doing it, and I’m hoping it’s a lot of fun.
Man, it seems like all I’m talking about today is ways to have fun. I guess working all the time has had an effect on me.
