I have a golf date today with several of the male faculty at BISS. We\u2019re playing at Chaoyang Golf Club in the middle of Beijing. It\u2019s a 9-hole course with 6 par 3\u2019s and 3 par 4\u2019s. We have a morning tee-time, and I arrive an hour early, in plenty of time to \u201cwarm-up\u201d a little. As usual, I\u2019m stiff, but the swimming I\u2019ve been doing seems to have helped my flexibility.<\/p>\n
We have a fun morning. Everybody plays pretty well. I shoot 2 over par, and hit the ball really well. I seem to play better when I haven\u2019t played recently. I\u2019m still not used to having a caddy carrying my clubs.<\/p>\n
Back at the apartment, Judy has been working away at school stuff. She always enjoys a chance to knock items off her to-do list. We keep threatening to go somewhere and do something, but we never quite get it in gear. Eventually I leave for a swim session, and she joins me over at the Marriott later for dinner (using our 50% discount card). To finish off the day, we begin to watch Season 1, \u201cHouse of Cards.\u201d We finished \u201cLost\u201d last Thursday night. One of Judy\u2019s friends at school loaned her the DVD set for HOC It\u2019s only 10 episodes. It may not last the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
