The weekend

Saturday morning was spent going around garage and estate sales. I was looking for cheap books. My mother was looking for what mothers look for - more things that would look great in a particular place in your house that go next to the things that already look "great" in your house. To her credit, she did pick up a $3 ceramic thing by a famous ceramic-making thing company that is worth a lot more than $3. I did find some books, among them a 50 cent hard cover edition of Graham Greene's The Comedians, but The Complete Sprouting Cookbook, The Female Body : A User's Manual, The Joy of Chicken and The Yeast Syndrome all got a pass.

Bonus question with a prize for the winner - How did I come across Felix Potvin and Allan Bester at the garage sales?

Sunday was a day of 100s for myself: the temperature, my golf score and the money spent/lost at the golf course. I hope today is not the day my wife accidentally checks out the blog. It could have been worse. I could have attended the Buffalo Springs Lake Ironman Triathlon. Well, not really. Not in this body and hopefully not in any body. There is only one Iron Man and he exists in the Marvel Universe not on a bike or in a wetsuit.

D-Wayne, check out what you can get for about $3,000 NT. Assuming that there is still space on your wall. Or maybe this for Trey.
