coffee golf

= morning golf, which means watching golf played in the eastern hemisphere. Bear with me; it is not really about golf — although it is. It’s better, maybe, than night golf (yes, when it is played out west). The only opportunity to watch golf that early in the morning is

during the Open, overseas Olympics,

and (every two years) the Ryder Cup. But a week ago, I told my husband that since we would not be watching much of the sport because it was so late, we should, on purpose, plan to watch it in the morning and watch coffee golf.

We’re sports people and like to watch competitive sports. I used to watch baseball every night during the season, but my husband and I like nemesis teams, and his team hasn’t been playing well (fair-weather fan?), so

baseball’s off the table

Like when we play dominoes — he doesn’t lose well. It is the only game at which I consistently (read: always) win, and it is not pretty. And I would neva, ‘eva, let him (or anyone, not even my son when he was a child) win. My husband 1) swears I cheat (it’s the only way you could beat me), 2) usually ends up spilling the dominoes off whatever table they’re on. We have many sets because he says I mark them, and that’s why I win, and he can’t wait to play with a set he unwraps to make his point. Has not yet. 😂

He taught me how to play cribbage last year and said I had beginner’s luck when I won. We haven’t played again.

— digressed —

I meant to write only @ coffee golf, but this was too funny to pass up.

it’s all about perspective

We could leave sports for the following day — any sport =) It just means staying off the www — much easier for me. Plus, I don’t mind knowing and will still watch the event: it’s the journey that matters to me.

Just now, I asked him if the game under the television is cribbage, want to be 100% sure, and after assenting, he said that we should play games more often, like Scrabble. !?! With a writer?

what. is. he. thinking?

I almost retorted: like Dominoes? But didn’t. This could be fun, too 🤣
