Lazy Saturday

Today has been the epitome of a lazy Saturday.  Despite Jess and I both being on call for work, we were able to essentially sleep all night, and I woke up at 11:30AM.  I sold my copy of World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War on Amazon, so I went to the P.O. to drop it in the mail.  The afternoon was spent watching Tivo and the Food Network, reading Nickel and Dimed for book club, and watching the first part of John Adams on DVD. 

After supper, I spent my Best Buy gift cards from Christmas on Tiger Woods 09 for the Wii, and while Jess attended to a particularly nasty duty call I golfed for 2 hours and 54 minutes.  My affinity for video game golf can be traced back to 2003, when Jess and I moved to Harford County and bought a PS2.  Tiger Woods 04 was probably the game that got more play than any other (with the possible exception of Kingdom Hearts).  The problem with these games are that they cause me to be delusional and think that I actually have talent for golfing.  This latest version for the Wii is particularly dangerous because of the life-like golfing moves that are necessary.  So far I am doing OK and it is quite enjoyable.  I think putting is a challenge, but I am already doing a good bit better than I was during my first round.  

I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be a quiet evening without significant duty disruptions.
