  1. We saw Ringo Starr and his All Star band last night.  My 10 year old grandson ( an avowed Beatles fan )  loved the concert

    as did all the AARP+ members of the audience.

    I knew Edgar Winter was a great musician and last night proved that by leaps and bounds.  Wow he was good.

    It was a fun concert and it will be my last time dealing with Ticketmaster.

    If not for the fine people in the ticket office our night would have been ruined.

    Instead of 5 seats together in a row, ticketmaster sent us 5 seats in 5 different rows.

    AARRGGHHHHHHHHHHHH.

    And  tickets on the cell phone are an abomination.

    Yes, I'm old and get off my lawn

  2. Team USA needs Marv Levy to come to Rome and give the boys a pep talk similar

    to the one given on Jan 3, 1993.  We all remember THAT comeback.

    Perhaps Team USA can make the greatest comebacks in Ryder Cup history.

    5:30 AM on NBC on Sunday.

     

  3. To OP. Congrats on becoming a sports official for HS sports.  It is a great time commitment but there is a lot of fulfilment that comes with it.

    I have officiated HS  soccer for 20 years but this year I am taking a pause in the action and will mentor the  young ones. My knees are a mess

    and replacement is imminent.  In that time I  have only had one 'encounter' and it was mild.  A lady fan of the worst team in the area offered me her 

    glasses after one match.   Listening to the fans is one thing I tell the new referees NOT to do.  Few of them played soccer, so they generally are not 

    aware of what they are yelling about.  Alas, football is different as everyone in the stands thinks they are Ed Hochuli.

    Advice.  Know the rules intimately and be confident of your calls.  That will reduce fan's abuse.

    Any advice on new clubs?

    I'm still using a set from the 90's.

     

     

    Like  others have said, Get Fitted.  I did that and it will make a difference.

    I played hyde park in NF growing up.  

    Hyde Park was a fun course to play when  my buddies and I just started to play as juniors.  We drank milkshakes

    after the round while waiting for one of our mom's to pick us up.  I still have the putter.

    First role I believe was in "The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!"  

    "Emergency! Emergency! Everybody to get from street!" He played the Russian sub commander that had to pull into a NE  village when his sub had problems.

    That is one of my favorite movies.  Alan Arkin was great in this and so many other flicks.  RIP

  7. Mrs. Lew and I are retired 3 years now.  We dont miss work at all.

    Hobbies ..I golf   and  Mrs Lew reads

    Volunteering.  We both volunteer at a soup kitchen once a week.  There are 20 

    churches and organizations that rotate the other days.

    Church. We are both on committees and I am a camera operator for

    the live streaming of the service.

    But the best thing we do is watch the two grandkids.  Best job ever.

     

    my only advice is before you retire , get all your dental work done.  i.e.  crown, root canal, etc

    Let the companies dental insurance pay for that.
