It is challenging to deal with 80 degree weather at the beach. But I am just the man for the job! I have devised unique strategies to deal with the conditions, like visiting Balboa Park yesterday, and playing 18 holes of golf today.
I decided to head back to Encinitas Ranch for golf. The course is in nice shape and the price is right. As a walk-on single, I was hooked up with Jay and Reed, two titans of the financial industry. They were nice guys that seemed to be handling the crisis well, but they were out golfing and not doing M&A deals! Let's all hope business picks up for Jay and Reed and that leads to fat 401k’s for all of us.
I shot 45-51 for a 96. That back nine got me again! Four pars and seven birdie putt opportunities, but none of those dropped. Two triples and one hole north of double par were largely due to errant shots OB and in lateral hazards. But my real opportunity is to cut the putts down from 40 to something closer to 30. Practice, practice, practice!
Yesterday I went to Balboa Park with Sharon. There was a great display of globes, perhaps 25 of them, designed to communicate ways to help fight global warming. The dominant message was for all of us as individuals to make an effort to help. I think this is a good approach and intend to do my part. I found my favorite globe of the group and posed for a photo. We also took a nice walk through the canyon and picnicked in the shade of giant eucalyptus trees. 
A very nice day.
