so yesterday i described my adventure at jazz fest. here are the pictures. the pictures i took are the first 9. my friend chad took the rest. you can observe the top left picture on the second page and the picture directly underneath that and see proof of sara watkins making eyes at me. my friend carla responded with “i can kind of see that”, but i told her “for someone with a crush, that counts.”

today i pretty much lounged around on a fairway and tracked golf balls with lasers. i’m volunteering at the zurich classic this weekend, so i was one of these guys except i was in the fairway. it was pretty fun, but near the end i was getting tired of it. some of those guys play SO SLOW, so there were big gaps in the last few groups. the two guys i spent most of the day with were much older than me, but full of wisdom. this one guy carlo told me 3 rules for a long marriage,

1. never go to bed angry. you may stay up late fighting, but never go to bed mad at each other
2. when you argue, argue with your clothes off. you’ll realize how stupid the argument is when you do that.
3. bathe every night together. (this one centered on spending quality time with your spouse. he later said he and his wife get up early every morning and walk 2 miles and just talk. i think they may have followed the rule early on in their marriage. i think i’d choose showering anyway. i’m not a fan of bathing anymore.)

now, for my married readers, you can maybe try these rules out if you have not already incorporated them. i must say, carlo did spend much of the day using his binoculars to check out females as they walked around, so just keep that in mind. he did mention he’s been happily married for 30 years, so they must be working for him. he gave me good job advice though, about how being happy is an important thing with your job. i’m going to see if maybe i can parlay this volunteer thing into a permanent job on the tour. it’d be pretty cool to go around the country giving instructions on how to shoot lasers. and i’m sure you’d get to play a lot of golf too.
