Three Beautiful Things 06-13-2025: Biopsy Scheduled, Debbie Is Finished Teaching Full Time, Watching the Men's U.S. Open Golf Championship

1. A most helpful woman from Radiology at Kootenai Health called today to schedule my biopsy. 

Her call succeeded. 

I go in this coming Wednesday for a 6:45 a.m. check in.

I can't drive home after the procedure and Christy agreed to be my limo driver. 

2. Debbie has cleared out of her classroom, turned in her keys, done whatever else she needed to do, and is finished with her three demanding years of teaching 3rd graders at Pinehurst Elementary School. 

She arrived home, wanted a hamburger, and I fixed her one.

Then she went to work getting ready to fly out of Spokane tomorrow morning, headed to New York and later to Virginia to see Adrienne's and Molly's families. 

She took a quick break from her preparations to drop in for a quick visit to The Lounge. 

3. I watched a lot of U. S. Open golf today and shuddered as one after another of the world's best players confronted the unrelenting difficulties of the course at Oakmont Country Club where the rough is thick, the greens are mammoth, undulated, and fast, the wind is fickle, and the course mercilessly punishes any errors and sometimes, just to show whose boss and because golf is not a fair or just game,  cruelly punishes what appear to be good shots!
