Back home after a long weekend of fun.
Sorry about the complete lack of blogging over the last several days.
Over the weekend I played in the Texas State Disc Golf Championships (a National Tour event for the Professional Disc Golf Association [PDGA]) in Houston. I didn’t win, but had a tremendous time at a great tournament nonetheless.
I needed Monday to recover and take care of things around the house. Regular blogging will continue tomorrow.
Glad you are back to blogging…I really do miss you when you don’t but appreciate your personal time. But guess what, I actually got through to Senator Coburn on C-span this morning and gave him my idea for solving illegal immigration problem that I had expressed on earlier post (that even Preston pretty much agreed with). It was the one whereby employers who pay a surtax per hour for every hour that an illegal immigrant worked (for example $.50/hr) while the immigrant was applying for citizenship. It would end when the person became a citizen. The employer would get the benefit of hiring the workers he says he can’t find. The immigrant would have a legal job and a path to citizenship. The tax would be used to pay for border security. The current citizens wouldn’t feel cheated out of jobs they want to do.
Senator Coburn called it a novel idea which he would like to think about.
Senator Coburn should hire you as an adivsor.
Where/what is JPL?
Disc golf was created in the 1970s by “Steady†Ed Headrick, whose redesign of the Wham-O Frisbee in the early 1960s improved on earlier models by making them aerodynamically stable.
Headrick left Wham-O to develop disc golf and designed the first course for the sport in 1975 in Southern California.
Congrats, Dianne.
JPL is in Pasadena. San Gabrial is near by: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_golf
Oh, JPL is the Jet Propulsion Lab. No, I don’t work for it, but I have a few friends that do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPL

A couple of weeks ago, I finally admitted to myself that I had no idea what disc golf was and googled it up. Never heard of it before, though I was sort of proud that it originated near jpl. lol!
