Fin d’Ete

It’s amazing to me that it is September 1st and the unofficial end of summer here in the United States. When I was growing up, my parents told me that time would seem to move much faster as you got older. As usual, they were right.  Yesterday, our Cape Cod crew got together for the [...]

If it is Tuesday, it Must be RTT

Golf & The Raw Bar

On a couple of occasions that I talked about golf here on the Grand View, I was roundly heckled. “Who cares about golf,” the crowd jeered. Me. That’s who. Yesterday, I played golf with one of my oldest and closest pals, Murph. He’s the one on the left not looking too pleased (He had just [...]
