The End is Near

Well Golf enthusiasts -- it's getting to the end of our season as it is for the Yankees and most likely the Mets. I think it's fair to say that our play over the past few weeks has been sub-par and we deserve not going into the post-season and extending our regularly scheduled tee time.

The weather this past week-end was picture perfect. Our original four played together for the second week in a row. We are like a 'married four-some.' We know each other's favorite trees for when nature calls - and I actually asked permission when I wanted to utilize Dan's favorite watering hole - the woods off the 5th tee.

Dan is the most creative in the group and created a new game called "Gennis" , a combination tennis and golf. Essentially on every hole he took two tee shots, same as a serve in tennis.

Barry - playing the course like it was a monopoly game - decided on the 12th hole that he 'get out of Jail' card and left while he could.

Rich was on 'stand-by' - waiting for Henry to call and get his opinion on the worst banking disaster since the Great Depression. (no different that what Henry used to do when he was at GS.)

As we look forward to our last 'official week' of the season -- we wish the Mets a miracle and that the get the wild card spot in the post season --- that a bailout is worked out - that makes sense for the 'average American, and isn't another poor decision by the Administration - supported by Congress - as was the search for WMD.
