I stick them, proudly, in my car at least once and most often, twice a week and head to the course. People laugh until they see me play...then they roll on the ground. 😉

I tease you, but I've only played the game a few times to be honest.

I have played for 60+ years and for the first 15 I stuck to it religiously and without seeming to blow my own horn was very good at it. I'm still "pretty good" but don't play nearly as much as I did back then. Maybe 2 times a week (in season). It like chess is a game you can play for a very long time. My dad only stopped a few (4) years ago and he'll be 99 in August.

Ever wonder if Miss STG says "lol" when she laughs on the phone during conversations with her family and friends?

I feel certain that she most certainly does stick to that action.

let's not presume

i suspect that she is too stuck up for that

she probably tells everyone to stick it

i am contemplating the possibility that miss STG will, someday, in the not too distant future, have a 10,000th post on page 1

i admit to some pang of anticipation
like seeing the odometer of a car approaching the 999 . . . something or other mileage

i'll not get caught up in that, though
i know that it's just another number

i am not, in fact, going to pay it any attention
i am committed to making no mention of it

there now
just let this pass

unnoticed

i am not looking
i have no idea what it reads
i am sure that it is stuck somewhere
but it doesn't matter
because i will not look
i will take no notice
i won't even comment
i am not even going to be present (i mean in the attentive sense)
i commit to a degree of aloofness
i'll be minding my own business
i'll be making chess moves
i'll be watching a drip of tar drop
i'll be paying bills online
i'll be deleting spam emails
i'll be doing just about anything
but i won't be getting at all engaged in the STG 10,000th move silliness
there's absolutely not point to that whatsoever
no one can say that that is anything but another number
just a number
a number without significance
i think

is it close yet? stuck maybe? what's the delay? (this isn't what you think it's about. it's about something sticky, gamy and thready)

Well what sticks in my mind then is an old shirt I have had for low these past 40 years that my partner keeps trying to throwing in the garbage and I keep rescuing. It's sticky, from all the stuff I've dropped on it. It's gamy, because I'm afraid to wash it and it's thready, because I used to wash it too often.

Perhaps Marion would handle the laundering of your "old shirt" with care....
