On my last day in Milwaukee I played golf and visited with my old friend Paula. The day before I had a great massage that prepared me to play from Mary Jean at The Body Mechanics, who I used to see regularly when I lived in Milwaukee. She was especially good at working with my scars, which are coming along well (but maybe not always as quickly as I'd like).
Paula and I originally met in the late 80's when we were both playing soccer and then we discovered that we both loved golf. So we started meeting every Saturday at an absurdly early hour of the morning to play this challenging course, Kettle Hills, about 40 minutes northwest of Milwaukee. So this was a homecoming of sorts and we laughed about as much as we did way back when. Paula golfed well as usual, but I didn't until I finally warmed up on the last couple of holes. In between we had a great time catching up and talking about the old days. This was followed by a meal at Fox and Hounds, a kind of steak and ribs place where we were the youngest in the crowd by about twenty years! Fueled by the good conversation and ribs I had for dinner I drove home to Chicago to await Kate's return from Maine the following day. We hope to host a Chicago visit soon from Paula and her family!
