Someone else had recommended that to us too, could only find it in large cans, vs something small she could keep on her at all times during the night if she had to be alone walking from the campus to her dorm.

She can’t call campus security and get an escort back to her dorm?

BU is huge and spread out all over the place. While I mentioned class to dorm, she'll also be headed to orchestra rehearsals, dance team, etc. potentially off campus. There were no issues her first time up in Boston, I think her desire to have some was more just due to the uncertainty with the new location, her dorm being off the main campus drag, etc.

Road trip continues.  Family and I have logged 2.5K miles so far; hitting Yellowstone tomorrow after spending the last couple of days at Glacier National in Montana.  Incredible views; this one doesn’t do it justice but all the breathtaking pics are on the wife’s phone…

for my 25th anniversary, my wife and I took our children with their significant others for a trip like this.  We rented a 15 passenger van for just 8 of us, and did Niagara Falls, with a stop over to see my parents on our way to Thousand Islands, and then down to Watkins Glen and eventually wine tasting in the finger Lakes before returning back to Columbus.  Everyone still talks about it, as if it was just yesterday. 🙂

What a beautiful family, GetOff.

I'm as non Middle American as an elitist East Coast snob can be [exaggerating slightly for effect], but everybody appreciates a great family... from Omaha or otherwise!   It's just not a super great town to be in if you like ethnic food, but the steaks are great.

 

Enjoy the game.  [We had the Braves from 1876 to 1952, but the Red Sox had Ted Williams and the Braves didn't, so....]

Enjoy your whole vacation.

A few pics from our stop at Yellowstone National, including the kids taking in Olde Faithful.  (And a pic of my hot wife…just wanted everyone to know how much I out-kicked my coverage…). In Denver right now visiting family; we’ll be on the third base side 20 rows back for Braves-Rockies tonight.

no dice on Broken Sound. also weird was that the folks at Mar a Lago didn’t want to let me on as a single even though i told them DJT and i are boys. 🤷🏻‍♂️

i’ve got rounds booked for friday afternoon at Osprey Point, saturday morning at Westchester CC, and sunday morning at Winston Trails. 

there’s a muni not far from my house that i’m gonna try to squeeze in 9 at once or twice too.

Can’t understand DJT not having you over for 9 at least.

I remember Osprey Point.

Trying to figure out how to get a bit of a higher trajectory on my greenside bunker shots.

For folks that don't know, I used to be the worse bunker player of all time. 2 to 3 shots to get out of the bunker just about everytime. And when i got out, it was just barely out, not on the green, or bladed over the green. 

And then some miracle came along when I get my Edel T-grind wedge. Not sure if I somehow also fixed my bunker swing when I also bought that wedge, but I now have gotten out in 1 everytime (except for pot bunkers at Bandon, but thats a different story) with the Edel wedge and they are pretty good shots. 

My ball tends to come out fairly low and has some roll out. Trajectory is sufficiently high to get out of every bunker on my home course, none are super steep. However, going back to what I was mentioning at Bandon, I found I had some trouble with the steep pot bunkers and getting enough trajectory. So trying to figure out how to hit my bunker shots a little higher.

@chisag and anyone else - tips?

Lovett Tour Lob 63º sand wedge.

Got one.  Love it.

Absolutely useless from a tight fairway lie,

so you can't have a prejudice against one trick ponies!!!

It isn't that you have to open the face a lot,  I believe that it comes down to holding the face and not shutting it down/rotating it like you do on normal shots and thumping the sand under the ball.  It all comes down to technique.

Spent the last two days in Seattle; funeral for my brother-in-law's wife.  Lots of people I don't know or may have met once somewhere.  My wife has a big family and many are at that age now.

BTW, I really don't like Seattle traffic!!!  🤬
