Columbus Caddyshack

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

Remember Caddyshack?  Need a refresher? Caddyshack is the CAPA movie  Friday night at 11:00!  

I might not have noticed except I read earlier in the week that the Evans Scholars at OSU are getting a new $8 Million Dollar Home according to an article in Business First of Columbus.

I had not thought about Evans Scholars for years.  I must have known in high school and college what they were, about the golf connection.  I saw Caddyshack a number of time but mostly I remember the gopher.

I remember living in a frat house at UW one summer and a couple of the guys were Evans Scholars.  I wonder if I knew about the the golf connection… and forgot it.   

Noonan was a Evans Scholar huh?  

The present home of the Evans Scholars is an old OSU dorm? It may be sold back to the University?  That’s recycling.

Dublin Irish Festival

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

Red Leprechaun from Toby and SadieOf course I go most years.  I hope I get to attend this year.  The plan is Sunday morning for church because of other “things” scheduled this weekend. 

I wish I had pictures from other years but I don’t think I do.   A red leprechaun (leprechauns were red fairies to start with?) from Delaware bloggers Toby and Sadie from St. Patricks Day 2007 will have to adorn this entry.  It matches my blog better than a leprechaun in green  anyway.

I prefer to go to the Dublin Irish Festival in the evening, I am usually busy during the day, I am too fair for the sun and it is usually hot the first week of August. 

This is the 20th Annual Dublin Irish Festival.  It gets better every year. This year’s tagline is “A Lot Can Happen When You Get The Irish Together” ” Music, Dance, Art, Food, Drink and Fun”

Of course it’s Ohio State Fair Weekend too… busy weekend in Central Ohio.
