Levy Loop/Fort Roots

This morning at about 7 a.m. Central I jogged and walked the Levy Loop in 22:40.

Again, as David Duval said, "I'm close. I know I've been saying it a long time and no one's believed me, but I've been so close." Today, starting at about 2:30 p.m., in 70-degree sunshine, I played Fort Roots with Del, the only guy I really liked among the old men I played with the summer of 2008, in 46, with 2 pars, 4 bogies, 2 doubles, and 1 triple. I used 17 putts. I hit a ball over the wall on the par-5 No. 7, my only lost ball and the only bad drive I hit, which led to the triple.

Now I plan to cook bratwurst and French fries and feed myself and Tim Cooper as we watch Benton's Cliff Lee win a 1-0 victory for the Phillies over North Little Rock's A.J. Burnett.
