A Perfect 12 I was watching one of my favorite movies, "Tin Cup". It's about a golf pro at a driving range in west Texas that gets to play in the US Open. His driving range is little more than a shack with some barrels out in a field with distance markers painted on the side.

Art Shows and White shirts I went to an Art show downtown a few years ago. I'm not really a big Art show person but It was pretty cool, a bunch of people, South Main Street, cool art.  It was very Memphis mid-town.. art-sey.
