Gold Diggah Style



That's right....here they come. The team with the top handicap and now the team with the hottest shoes. This week was the debut of the official Diggah footwear-see how they shimmer! The shoes certainly did the trick too....the Diggahs were on fire. 3-3 for the night and team members set their personal records on top of it. Suffice it to say that there were heads turned and hopes of the season championship stripped from all attending. Beware the gold toes!!!

Summer is Here



Ahhhhh....nothing like beaches, the sound of ocean waves, and enjoying a fun libation by the waterside. My "Painkiller" started the weekend off just right. A quick stop in Duck, NC and we we now have made it to Avon, NC in the Outer Banks. Lots of fun here...visiting with old friends and playing LOTS of games. I have a new favorite card game now-cribbage! Look out friends-you will be forced to many hours of playing my new game now. :) Hate that it will all end tomorrow...alas, back to start my school days again (of yeah, and that nasty thing called work). Check in with ya later!

Alley-Oops

Perhaps if the Gold Diggahs spent less time in Strikers Cafe and more time concentrating on the game, we would see some forward progress. Then again, 3 wins for the night ain't so bad! With a raw team score of 444 (make that 863 with the handicaps), look out Summer Friend's League-we are on fire!
Tip of the night: Beware the woman who bowls with a personalized Elvis Presley ball..... (Smiles to our new bowlin' buddy, Wanda!!)

Auto Mechanics 101


So, as advertised, I took my car to the dealership for my "free" state inspection. Shortly thereafter, I got the dreaded phone call. It seems that they found some crack in my vehicle (NO-not in the glove box!!) According to the crack police, I was in big trouble. I'm not sure what a manifold is, or how you crack it....all I can tell you is that it's BAD. Perhaps the missing brake pads were related to the random crack?
In summary:

VA State inspection at the dealership: $0
Pack of nabs from the lobby: $0.75
Diet coke from the lobby: $2.00 (took 2 tries)
Price of VA State sticker: $872.00 (after repairs)
Being told you're busted for crack: PRICELESS

Easy on the manifold, y'all!

Derby Day

I enjoyed a wonderful evening at a local Derby party (graciously hosted by a high school best friend's folks). As always, we pulled up our sleeves, put on our best "sippa" faces, and bellied up to the Mint Julep bar. We put up a noble fight, but alas, ended up crying uncle and resorted to beers at Bob's. It was wonderful to see my old buddies-looking forward to the upcoming reunion later in the summer!
I believe I'll have to jump into the Triple Crown spirit and host a Belmont Stakes party..mark your calendars for June 10th!

Notes from the Gold Diggahs

Yes, it's Wednesday, and you know what that means-Summer Friends League action! The Gold Diggahs started out rough. We had 1 member out for pre-op festivities and another hosting family business. We had to call a bowling Code Red mid-day...luckily our buddy Scott stepped up to the plate to fill one spot. We picked up a random fourth once we arrived tonight-thanks, Donnie! (Although Donnie was a bit out of the Diggah's league...his 10 handicap was killin' us!)
The injury report continues this week, unfortunately. Bill encountered multiple problems....he reported both sweaty balls and a "butt pull" (he assures me the two were unrelated, but a gal has to wonder...things that make you go hmmm). Aside from that, we all walked out on our own accord.
Stay tuned next week for a sneak peek at the Gold Diggahs custom team shoes-GO TEAM!! Tip for the night: "I see your Elvis and raise you a turkey."
