On Quitting a Game

Answers to Monday's Questions are now in italics on that post. 

Thanks for playing, and no more mouse killings to report. 

but they are never alone....

Moon, weather, glorious here. 

Fireman and I went golfing yesterday. 

I Haven't played in years. 

I love the beauty of the golf course especially when colors are  peak on the Ridge. 

I love to see Fireman golf because he thinks each shot and he gets the whole game. 

When he talks to me to help me, 

I don't understand 98% of what he is saying. 

It is a secret language and I don't even know the handshake. 

So I'm here to say, unabashadly, that I quit. 

I've been trying on and off for our whole relationship.

I swing at that little ball and often nothing happens. 

I get tense the moment I'm at address. 

(I learned that code word long ago, it means

address the ball....or surrender to it in my case...)

I can love the game and not waste good yarn money on it right?

To be fair it was only 13 dollars to play a gorgeous course, for 18 par 3 holes. 

Thats golf language for DIRT cheap. 

So good riddance.  I know have a wonderful son who has begun to enjoy the game with his dad.  I think that's better than me trying to run around and hit that little ball that mocks me ...

As for my knitting. This fall like yarn is great. 

I started the Diving IN shawl by FLo on Ravelry. 

I totally get the increases now, but I just don't like garter. So I am thinking of this as a test start.  This means I will frog it this afternoon ....but I am not quitting at all. 

 I'm thinking of doing the increases, but knitting stockinette or something different than straight garter. 

Suggestions?  

All is not lost.  The game will go one. 

I'm learning afterall in a language that I get. 

And I'd pay 13 dollars to play everyday, but I dont' have to! 

I think my cost/benefit/joy ratio is way higher with knitting than with golfing. 

If you can play the golf  game, You have my respect. 

Life's short. 

Keep knitting!
