This Is It...I'm Goin In!

     Why do I do things that are not exactly the smartest things or healthiest things to do?  I guess it is my quest for what is different and what is truly risky.  I won't bungie jump, if that is what you are thinking.  I have some self preservation instincts.  However, I will go to great lengths to bring a story to you.  Today, it will be at least 111 outside and I am going to play golf.  I think they call it excessive heat, and there is an excessive heat warning.
     We tee off at 1:00.  Denise was supposed to play, but she has a brain, unlike me. This has to be done, if not only to warn off other idiots that have the same notion to play in such excessive heat. Denise did ask me if I have changed the beneficiary notification on my insurance policies. She also asked where the will is.  Does she know something I don't?
     The guys I am playing with today, they are policemen by the way, talked me into this.  I wanted to play in the cooler morning but they couldn't get off from work.  This was the earliest they could play today and wouldn't have a day off for a while.  It was tay at 1 or nothing.  I have been assured by one of them, supposedly my friend, that the heat of the day doesn't peak until around 4-5, so we will be OK.  So what that means is that instead of playing in 111 degrees, we will only be playing in 108.  You know, three degrees does make a difference.
    "Tis a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done." That is out of Tale of Two Cities by Dickens I think.  What do I know, I've never read the book but I think it is in there.  What has that got to do with playing golf on a day when the temperature is 111?  I am making the supreme sacrifice for you , my readers.  I don't mind though.  Somebody has to do it.
     It's hot outside!

Avalon on Catalina Island.  Had a great time, wish I was there.  It's a lot cooler.  they have a golf course on the island.  The pro has been bugging me for years to play it.  Oh no, I have to go play in Fresno where the temperature is 111.
