- Is it Friday already? Well golly gosh indeed. Here's today's poem:Meditation 231While one manbetrays his townto a bloody death,another is loweredfrom a city wallin a basketand creeps awayinto night.Perhaps it’s betterto be a woman after all.Managed to play some pretty dire golf again today, but thankfully it wasn't as bad as last week.

- What a glorious day it's been today - an Indian summer indeed. Here's today's verse:Meditation 227Sometimes the only thingthat countsis the wild sheddingof blood:from the small agoniesof ancient kings – names long forgotten – to the murderous furyof Paulas he condemns to darknessthose he’s cometo hate,it has always been so.Not really suited to the weather, I know, but what the heck eh. ...

- Working all summer at a small public golf course had given me a new perspective on the game. Golfers head out on the course with a supply of beer in their bags or in a cooler in their cart. Often that isn’t enough and they run into the clubhouse or buy more from the beverage cart that cruises the course on weekends. Right along with the consumption of quantities of beer comes gambling. Bets ...

- What an exceptionally sparkly day it's been - we had a glorious moment at lunchtime when it began to rain heavily whilst the sun was still shining and the raindrops were all glittery. Just like a Disney film. Wonderful. It could only happen in the shires, you know. Anyway, here's today's meditation:Meditation 203Some old menwon’t lie downbut keep knockingon your doorto demand landand armiesand ...

- Marian and I had a wonderful game of golf today - I think it's the best we've ever played. And we both got two pars apiece - bliss! Really, it was one of those rare and perfect golf days where I could have spat at the ball and it would still have gone in the hole. And even the sun was shining. What could be nicer?I've also been working away on my piece of short fiction - which at over 1000 words ...

- (Cross posted from my Dancing with Dragons blog) I have a theory. Well, I have many theories, and this is one of them. It goes like this.The more serious you are about a sport, the sillier your outfit will look. For example: golf. Golf is a great sport that many people enjoy, and I'm not dismissing that.

- I'm pleased to say that my review of John Wray's novel, Lowboy is now up at Vulpes Libris reviews. Something of a mixed bag, to my mind - but I appreciate that even saying that, and making the suggestion I do, is going against every other single reviewer in the known universe. Ah well, I never did follow the crowd ...And here's this morning's meditation (I think I may have got the numbers ...
