John, Ed, and I played War Memorial Golf Course this morning and afternoon. Ed scored 88, John 93, and I scored 110 with nines of 59 and 51. I used 44 putts. It was by two strokes my highest lifetime score at War Memorial. I had zero pars and three bogies and otherwise nothing but doubles or over. Nothing worked. Crazy as this may sound, heck, I had fun anyway.
By the way, I'm in the market for a pet. I shopped today at the Sherwood Pet Shelter, but there were only five cats there. Only two seemed at all interested but neither quite enough. There were no Chucks. I believe this could take a while. Maybe, as Kayce suggested, one will find me, like Pam, Jo, and Ruth. I am paying particular attention to Levy strays, in case there's a Ghetto Cat out there.*

33rd Street Loop
I jogged and walked the 33rd Street Loop through a 56-degree mist in 58:18, with splits of 12:09, 12:01, 11:32, 11:20, and 11:17. I stopped in the fourth mile to pet a black cat about Jo's size, close to the Dixie Pig. He or she was eager for attention and ran with me for 10 or 15 yards as I left; surely a loved cat.*
*and, in retrospect, I believe unique to my experience. I'm fairly certain I have never petted a cat on a run. I think this is the only cat I have encountered under similar circumstances who did not run from me, but rather stayed on with interest and curiosity, apparently as a matter of course.
