What a fantastic week.  And I'm not just referring to the delectable bowl of noodles I had with my assistant coach.  Although that in itself can pretty much brighten someone's day.

I finally got a new driver. A 9.5 degree Taylormade Burner that I've decided to name "Mac." (Ha Ha, get it? Burner/Bernie Mac?)I may call him Mac Daddy if he treats me well on the tee.

I got "the call" from the USGA.  They told me to keep it confidential until further notice, but I'm guessing by the Golfweek report, that further notice has been given.  And Yes, I WILL be sending the USGA a muffin basket.  Just not poppyseed--in case USGA officials start getting drug tested too.

And two weeks into the quarter, I've gotten my books for my classes...which is about three weeks earlier than usual. (Yes, I'm such an academic stud...studying seems so much easier when I get the books before midterms...what a concept!)

I'm anxiously counting down the days until I get to go "Down Unda'" with my good "mate" Alison Whitaker. Poor girl is sitting next to me the whole way from Los Angeles to Sydney. Luckily I'm bringing Jenga and maybe cheese puffs.

The only thing that could possibly bring me down is school work...Oh Sweet Nibblets! Which reminds me: Stats quiz tomorrow!

T-Joh OUT!
