MaxSight

I had to go my optometrist last week for my yearly eye check up (that I do every two years) and we got to talking about how I like to play golf. After we got through the exam he recommended that I try Nikes MAXSight Contact Lenses for a few rounds to see how I like them.

Well I played today for the first time since I have gotten them and noticed a few things.

1) I can really see the ball a ton better.
2) Its much easier to read the green. My play around the green picked up today.
3) You really freak people out when they look at you:

I'll give them 3 or 4 more rounds and then make a decision on if I want to keep playing in them of not.

Hoops

For the last three weeks I have been playing hoops at Union Hills Gym. I didn't realize how out of shape I was until I started playing. I also didn't realize how bad my knees hurt when I play. If I keep playing I am going to have to go to the doctor or find a knee brace.

New TV

So sticking with the new theme, Missy and I bought a new TV for the living room last night. We settled on this JVC 56incher* from BestBuy and with help from Eric was able to get it home and setup last night.

*My monitors at work was the same size as our old living room TV.
**It is also snowing outside which is strange since last weekend it was 75.

New Office

We switched around cubical's today to make room for a new programmer and I ended up with this awesome cube*:

*Don't be jealous!
**Yes that is a picture with me and Miss America.

NCAA Tournament Software

If you run an NCAA Tournament Pool you know that finding software to run the pool can be hard and expensive. For the last two years I have used FreeTrak because it is both Free and Easy to use.


*This post is mostly a reminder so I can remember the name of the software next year*

DST For Me

Well it looks like DST went off without a hitch last night and the world didn't blow up. All of my home electronics updated correctly, now if stuff works this smoothly at work on Monday I will be happy.

It will be interesting to see if Congress changes DST time again in 2009.

New Golf Clubs

I had planned on working on my yard today but the weather had a different story and rained most of Friday making that impossible. So Eric, Nick and I went to Columbia and dodged a Neo-Nazi riot to buy Eric some new golf clubs. He ended up getting the Mizuno's MX-19's custom ordered since he is 6'6". They should be in next week and I think Eric will become a much better player then he is now with the Ram clubs he got for $50.

We also snuck in a quick 9 at Railwood for the first time this spring. Eric and I beat Nick and Andy 3-2 in a best ball scramble.

I got this bumper sticker from the Missouri Rice Growers who were giving away a free lunch at the Capitol. This is going to look good on Nicks Honda!

I remember playing this game almost everyday in high school.

March Madness

Today is the first day of March and it came in with a bang with a huge thunderstorm and a tornado watch.

Now how long until the NCAA Tournament?
