Dead Laptop, Twins Game, Heritage Integrity

I will take these in order:

My laptop decided not to run last week so I have been without blogging capability. I am now trying to return to some normalcy while I sweat out the impending doom of my laptop...

• Attended my first outdoor game at Target Field, where my AL Central Division leading Minnesota Twins now call home. One word: fantabulous! Considered among many to be the best outdoor baseball venue in MLB, Target Field will not disappoint. For those out-state Minnesota Twins fans, get your butts back for a game this summer- its well worth the price of admission





• Jim Furyk won the Verizon Heritage PGA event last weekend and pocketed a cool $1 million and change. The second-place finisher, Brian Davis, needs to be mentioned though. Davis, tied for the lead going into the first playoff hole, called a two stroke penalty on himself as he miss-hit the ball he was playing (technically, he touched a surface in a hazard before touching his ball which is a no-no). Davis, who has never won a PGA event, called this penalty on himself. How many people are like Mr. Davis today? Willing to forgo life's prize in order to maintain integrity? I am an instant fan and admirer. I have attached an article which does a nice job of telling the story. I agree with the author that Brian Davis shouldn't be called a hero because he played by the rules (as he mentions 'like being praised for not robbing a bank'). But I think attention needs to be brought to it due to the unfortunate infrequency of such an event among our 'sporting athletes'...

Grace & Peace
