Open Farm Land

I was at the local golf course hitting a bucket of balls and practice my putting. It was a warm day with a gentle breeze. It was very relaxing. I was only using a nice pitching wedge I bought at a thrift store and a lob wedge. Kid in the stall next to me was trying to hit his balls over the netting that separates the course from the driving range. Kinda irritated me at first, but then I remember I probably did the same thing as a young golfer. 
It was getting close to dinner time. I walked to my car and noticed some open farm land next to the course. Back in the mid to late 1990's, plans for a championship course was to be built on the land. The championship course eventually got built in another part of town. I'm glad the farm land was left alone, untouched. It's a reminder I live in a agricultural area. I used to hate living around here. I wanted to live in the big city, like Los Angeles. Now I avoid LA, San Francisco and downtown Sacramento. 
Don't make northern California another southern California!

The PCC....Coming to a Theater Near You??

I was driving to work this morning and I had an epiphany. Phoenix Chestnut on the silver screen. I can't give details of my idea because someone might steal it. It's great though. I can see it being a sleeper hit, perhaps with a few major accolades thrown in. Perhaps have shown at Sundance and Cannes. And of course it has to have an amazing soundtrack. Let me get my writing cap on!

It's Drinking Time

I worked 13 out of 14 days recently. I'm finishing up another stretch of work. I'm ready for some beers and tacos. Looks like someone needed something a little harder. Cheers to my "weekend". Golf and baseball on the agenda.

Summer Is Here

Howdy y'all! Phoenix Chestnut here! Just checking in. The warm weather is here in Sacramento, which means it's time for cutoff shorts. I used to look down on cutoffs when I was younger. I thought it looked sloppy. I thought only poor people did it. As I've gotten older, I've taken a liking to them. They're very comfortable and almost anything goes with them...t shirts, polo shirts, Hawaiian shirts, tank tops, and jerseys (baseball, football and basketball). And you can wear them anywhere...the gym, the beach, ballgames, brunch, the pool, playing pickleball, concerts, anywhere! I have about six pairs now. I love them.  I saw this picture of some Canadian boys wearing cutoffs at a car show. I always think that summer is here when that picture goes viral in June.  Until next time!
