Completing the Set

by Bryan Strawser · Aug 31, 2003

Went ahead and ordered the Great Big Bertha II Driver with an 11 degree loft, along with the matching 3 and 5 Woods along with a larger bag from Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Also snagged the 2 Iron and 3 Iron for my 2002 Big Bertha Irons so that I have a complete bag. Definately have to continue with my lessons now.

Golf

by Bryan Strawser · Aug 31, 2003

Two days of golf has left me with a sore shoulder and feeling fairly tired today.

On Friday, took a personal day and played at The New England Country Club and then yesterday at Poquoy Brook.

Golf has finally become a hobby. After some successful stuff at work, I treated myself to new irons from Galyan’s – went with the Big Bertha Irons in Graphite. Bit pricey, but wonderful clubs.

Looking now at fairway woods, I am pretty fond of the Great Big Bertha II line, but I need to demo them first. Perhaps a new driver in the spring.

Definately need to continue with lessons though.

PAPD – We Will Not Forget

by Bryan Strawser · Aug 29, 2003

On the first anniversary of the attacks, Carbonera allowed himself to shed some tears at the six memorial services he attended. This year, he plans to spend the day with his colleagues at the airport command station, where a private memorial service will be held beside the two-month-old plaque just outside the front door of the building. It was paid for with $50 donations from each officer at the station.
        The granite plaque lists the names of all the Port Authority officers and one K9-unit dog killed that day, alongside the words NEVER FORGOTTEN BY THE JFK COMMAND and sits atop a rusty chunk of one of the steel beams that used to hold up the towers. Every day, Carbonera places his hand on the names before he goes through the doors to work. “It’s my way of saying I remember you.” []MSNBC]

No Myth

by Bryan Strawser · Aug 27, 2003

So, she says it’s time she goes
but wanted to be sure I know
she hopes we can be friends
I think, yeah, I guess we can say I
but didn’t think to ask her why
she blocked her eyes and drew the curtains
with knots I’ve got yet to untie…
what if I were Romeo in black jeans
what if I was Heathcliff, it’s no myth
maybe she’s just looking for
someone to dance with
See, it was just too soon to tell
and looking for some parallel
can be an endless game
We said goodbe before hello
my secrets she will never know
and if I dig a hole to China
I’ll catch the first junk to SoHo
(chorus)
Sometime from now you’ll bow to pressure
some things in life you cannot measure by degrees
I’m between the poles and the equator
don’t send no private investigator to find me please
‘less he speaks Chinese
and can dance like Astaire overseas

Navy Relieves Newport Commander

by Bryan Strawser · Aug 27, 2003

The Navy announced late yesterday that it had relieved Capt. Ruth A. Cooper of her command of Naval Station Newport because of alleged mismanagement at the military base.

Rear Adm. Joseph A. Walsh, commander of Navy Region Northeast, removed her “after losing confidence in Cooper’s judgment and ability to command,” according to a statement the Navy released. She has been temporarily reassigned to a position with Navy Region Northeast. [Providence Journal]
