Thanks guys. The shanking is gone, but now I have a tendency to bring the club head down too steep which is causing me to hit the ground behind the ball. I am kidless the next few days and am going to practice my butt off.
No Holiday Inn next week on our trip, but we do have one night at a Super 8.
I just talked briefly with my XW's good friend. She is going to divorce her H of 8 years. I remember her telling me when I was going through my crisis that she was not happy with him as he was not a leader for her as a husband should be. It is a shame as he is a nice older guy, but I had noticed that he was a metrosexual kind of man. At least they dont have a child together so it wont sting as bad, but it still sucks to hear of people getting divorced. This will be her 3rd D and his 2nd.
It always sucks hearing about people getting divorced. I've got another teacher at my school who just signed his papers after 11 months of trying to save his marriage. I'm devastated for the guy as he's a great man who was married to the love of his life for 22 years and is now lost w/out her.
Divorce is very sad. On the flip side, marriage is very difficult and both sides often get too comfortable and lose sight of what they need to do to keep the love alive. It is work and attention for both parties at all times. The real saddness is when one side throws in the towel because they just don't want to do the work.
Ok, on to your thread. As far as the golf swing goes, I'm going to quote Kevin Costner in Bull Durham and say "it's all in your head, Meat." Quit thinking and just start doing and it will come back to you. Same advice for you Jeff.
As for the teacher, don't let the fantasy die. I know I wouldn't. Imagine yourself needing to do "whatever" it takes to make sure your son passed her math class. It is even better if you can buy her a cheap pair of reading glasses to wear...
No seriously, teachers are very busy and I'm even behind on grading myself. I'll be putting in a ton of hours between now and Christmas getting caught up just so I can fall behind again next semester. Fun stuff, eh?
As for Yoyo's quote:

Of course you know I was talking about the golf swing....
Talking about practicing and practicing the golf swing, I was on the same line. Kerry will need to sharpen all the tools in his bag if he's going to get intimate w/this teacher.
See, by nature, all us men want to quickly grab the "big dog" and swing for the fences, when the ladies really want us to work hard on our finesse and short game so we are skillful around the freshly manicured greens.
I've got a new 43 year old lady that winked at me that has sparked my interest. We have been emailing quite a bit and it seems we both make each other laugh. I am not allowed to say the word "duck" as it is offensive to her since she is a "beaver". She is fluent in english and french and claims to also know russian, greek, japanese, vietnamese and learning turkish. And she is somewhat back in the asian buffet - half french and half vietnamese.
Portland has nothing on traffic compared the stretch of Olympia, Tacoma, Seattle and Everett. I thought most people in the Seattle area were always on coffee and knew how to drive faster.
You want bad traffic? What about coming down to Arizona and dealing with the winter weather and the snow birds?
They are all coming from cold weather states, but when we get some good, healthy winter rain, the snow birds act as if they've never driven in it before.
Rob - I will have to take your word about Arizona traffic as I know you are from Seattle.
The kids and I woke up early in Ferndale, Washington and got through the border pretty quick. We had a fun day in Vancouver at the aquarium and a petting farm in North Vancouver. We even had lunch in Chinatown which we walked around a bit. Richmond is where we are staying and it feels like being in China. As we drove by the airport, my son pointed out the Olympic rings that most competitors will see after leaving the airport. And I saw the big speed skating areana here in Richmond. The highlight for the kids is the big 225 foot water slide at our hotel that winds outside the building before coming back into the indoor pool. We are hitting the science center tomorrow after some excellent morning dim sum.
