Don't worry, I am working on my Taiwan experience. But, right now, I must share some extremely joyous news with you, at least for those of you who enjoy golf. I got up early this morning to play a quick 9 holes before I went to Houston to visit a friend. I did not know that I would shoot the best 9, I have ever shot...a 43--mind you I normally shoot in the mid-50's. But that is not it. In Hallettsville, on the 4th hole (a par 5), my first two shots laid me up 80 yards from the pin. My next swing was the usual blading of the ball making it line drive over the water to the green. As it careened onto the green, I watched it disapear in a hurry. I went to the back side of the green but couldn't find it, until I reluctantly walked up onto the green and looked into the hole. There my ball sat, just as beautifully as a kolach in each of my hands. The reality of what just happened took a second to sink in...I SHOT AN EAGLE! AN EAGLE! That is two under par for the hole. After that, I could do no wrong, as far as I was concerned.
