New Yorkers are an inventive lot and will try to sell you almost anything. A Pier 17 rooftop? Sure, why not….

I have never in my life wanted to play golf, until now.

I should. I really should….
And because I’m thoughtful blogger who always thinks of her friends, you can as well.

Golfers are supposed to keep their heads down when they swing. So, if you see a giraffe golfing ahead of you, remember it will take them about five minutes to get their heads all the way down. After it takes its first drive, ask if you can play through…

I’d hate to work on that grounds crew. Between the footprints and the droppings, wildebeest turds on the greens can ruin your round, it sounds like a long, hot, crappy day.
Red wine brownies, hmmm. I’ve been knocking the dust off this bottle of Chateau Lafitte-Rothschild for decades now and I think I may finally know just what to do with it. The review says it has notes of lead pencil shavings, a commonly used flavor descriptor. Trez hoity toity, to be sure, but not really ticking those boxes. My question is: Does the pencil flavor come from a Faber Castell or a Dixon Ticonderoga? Once again, Hmmmmm.

Yep. I admit. I do look forward to these. When we were in the Sand Pit called Desert Storm. We created the world’s longest golf course. It was all a sandpit and holes were separated by a half mile minimum. Could not walk it, needed a hummer or borrow a camel. It was a par 216 if I recollect. Anyway, we got used to sharing it with the indigenous wildlife, especially the snakes and camels.

That sounds like some fun (?). Glad you made it back. I look forward to these, and “Let’s play”, too.

Funny thing, I never really felt in danger during desert storm. Somalia, on the other hand, was a daily crap shoot.

Okay all of these are great stories….maybe except for the backyard rentals in New York. I get they don’t have space but I’m sooo glad I have a pretty big back yard so I don’t have to rent one. And one day it will be void of all concrete and the in ground pool and will be nothing but lush green grass and a rose garden. Thank you for posting the red wine brownie recipe!!

I’ve always said if I bought a house with a pool I’d rip it out. Of course up here you’re lucky if you get 3 months use out of it.

Rent a backyard on NYC’s waterfront? Why settle for renting, when you should be able to BUY one, as you could in the past buy the Brooklyn Bridge and other famous NYC landmarks:

I’m going to make those red wine brownies this evening! But I’m going to skip a few of the ingredients. Namely, everything but the red wine. Way too much work otherwise.
