I was visualizing and thinking the same thoughts as this guy, when I played golf today http://budurl.com/gf25

I got in some golf this morning, beautiful day overlooking the bay. I shot low 80's... I did about the same on the back 9.

Fly the American Flag Half -Staff for Kennedy

No matter what you thought of Senator Kennedy, please lower your American Flags to half-staff on August 30th from Sunrise to sunset. This is out of respect for Kennedy's death.

Following is the official proclamation from President Barack Obama

The President also just issued the Proclamation below:
DEATH OF SENATOR EDWARD M. KENNEDY
- - - - - - -
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
Senator Edward M. Kennedy was not only one of the greatest senators of our time, but one of the most accomplished Americans ever to serve our democracy. Over the past half-century, nearly every major piece of legislation that has advanced the civil rights, health, and economic well-being of the American people bore his name and resulted from his efforts. With his passing, an important chapter in our American story has come to an end.
As a mark of respect for the memory of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset on August 30, 2009. I also direct that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff until sunset on the day of his interment. I further direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same periods at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth.

BARACK OBAMA

The kids loved Rotary today. Some of the guys in the club said it's evidently clear they take after their mom because they are beautiful.

I'm taking the kids to Rotary today... I figure I'd show them off before they go back to school Monday.
