It's been two and a half days and Cate is still talking about her golf outing from Friday.
Cate hasn't picked up a golf club since she and I went to a pitch-and-putt sometime in the pre-Web age. She used to golf much more regularly as a teenager, took a few lessons, but didn't have anyone to golf with.
Meanwhile, our friend Jennifer had the day off on Friday, like most of us, and has been looking for a golf partner herself. She's been threaten... promising to take Cate out golfing since we got here 11 months ago and on Friday, the planets aligned.
Cate had just a great time. She's been talking about things that I've only heard on television, like doglegs and that sort of thing. It was a nine-hole par-three course and it seems Cate and Jennifer were a good match, as they finished within two strokes of each other. Both came back raving about the fourth hole, which Cate parred after both got on the green with their tee shots.
Thanks, Neil and Alicia, for lending Cate your golf clubs.
"I'm consistently inconsistent," Cate said. She'd also like to thank "that great man, Theodore Wirth, who had the great foresight to include a park with a golf course in North Minneapolis."
No photographers were permitted at this outing.

I should also note after we got back from the course, I told her to let me know when we could go out there again...she said, "how about tomorrow?"
Again, it was a fantastic outing and Cate's a great partner. We are a good pairing out on the course.
Anytime you need clubs, you are welcome to borrow ours. I'm glad you didn't miss the 3 wood.
yeah, we noticed the 3-wood...or what used to be the 3-wood. What happened there?
I hope you had a lovely getaway.
