He played in the British Open the first two days, but didn't make the finals cut this year. Don't think he competes much anymore but would qualify for this.<br /><br />I went back and watched the Sunday taped coverage even though I'd seen Phil's last shot and knew he'd won. I was curious how things had changed so drastically from Saturday. Sure a nail-biter. Phil's golf angel had to be helping with those shots.

Every now and then I order a book from America's Test Kitchen. Their new twist is to force you to sign up to "preview" future book releases (Shades of the old Columbia Record Club). Only by agreeing can you get to checkout. But both times that it's happened, I've responded to their confirmation email, and they've agreed to take me off the preview list.

I have never heard of that brand of sneakers. I don't buy many pair these days and don't have to buy for young people anymore. <br /><br />So a DNF for me today with that wrong spelling. I didn't get the theme until I read Argyle's write up. Oh well! I always learn something new every day. This was my learning moment today. <br /><br />Congratulations on your anniversary, Hondo. Enjoy your trip. It is lovely to get away for a relaxing few days.<br /><br />Thanks Lucina for the info on the sneakers. I won't be buying any of those soon, either.<br /><br />Irish Miss, What annoys me even more about the renewal of magazines is the fact that now some renew you automatically and you have another year added on when you haven't authorized this. They say that you authorized this when you signed up with them for multiple years. But I prefer to know when my subscription is up and renew or not depending on the circumstances at the time. I've cancelled two magazines just this past year as a result of the auto renewal "clause".Chickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116766478313653724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-89469395993833639742013-07-22T15:27:33.234-05:002013-07-22T15:27:33.234-05:00Good afternoon everyone.
