Must be about the second most exciting thing to happen to Arnie this year, right up there with meeting me in June.

AWWW!! I thought you were talking about King Richard!! Then I realized that he is not that old. Anyway, congratulations to the "other" King.

For a good laugh, check out Arnie at the pirate game last week. I am sure it is on youtube, I just cant post the link where i am due to our lovely firewall that blocks anything fun at work.(except Sports Filter baby) Instead of throwing out a pitch, he hit chip shots from home at the Pirate Parrot. It was funny. The Pirate players enjoyed the fun then went on to get stomped allowing 8 hits and i think 5-6 runs in the first inning. Palmer was the only one who made consistant contact for Pittsburgh.

What a nice experience, JJ. I'd gloat, too. What did you think of the article? Pretty old hat, I know, but from what I've always heard, it's all true as well.

My son got me hooked on the "Arnold Palmer", a blend of iced tea and lemonade that is distributed by the Arizona beverage company. If for no other reason, Mr. Palmer deserves all of the accolades he has received. Oh, I heard he had something or other to do with golf.
