    2024 Iowa's Best Burger announced

    I’ve been to JJ’s 4 times in the 5 months they’ve been open. On our first visit, the owners came up to us just to check and converse. I did have a burger the first time and it was awesome. But they have much more than just their burgers. I would classify it as an upscale bar and grill. It’s...

    Bird Migration

    Our son lives in Columbia, MO. We visited a month ago and loved seeing different birds there than here (central Iowa). He told me about the Merlin app and I love it.

    New Orleans

    Someone else mentioned Commander’s Palace in the Garden District. Ate there while attending a conference last year. It was an all-time top 5 dining experience for us. Great food and service. Reservation (a ways out) are normally required. Any other advice I have has been covered in other posts.

    Washington DC Family Vaca

    Consider getting a VRBO/Airbnb instead of a hotel. You can likely get one for considerably less than a hotel.

    BEYOND AMAZING: That's how TJ Otzelberger describes former Tyrese Haliburton's meteoric rise in the NBA

    I went to the Pacers/Bucks game in Milwaukee tonight. Tyrese was excellent but, uncharacteristically , had a couple early turnovers. I sat 6 rows behind the Pacers bench and their tunnel. Giannis had a career night (even for him). He set the franchise record for points with 64. After the...

    Last summer while playing at Otter Creek in Ankeny I scored 2-2’s in a row. I holed out from 120 on the par 4 12th then holed a 25 foot putt for birdie 2 on the par 3 13th. Didn’t really think about how rare consecutive 2’s are at the time (at least for hackers like me), but someone...

    Crazy Golf Stories

    I played Torrey Pines in March and loved it. I’ll be back next Feb and should be able to play it again. Lots of walkers on the course, but they keep things moving. I believe non-resident fees are ~$225 (walking) during the week but there’s also the tee time fee of $47/player just t make the...

    How old do you have to be before you stop.....

    My advice - play as long as you are enjoying it. I finally quit playing a year ago at age 59 - couldn’t quite make it to 60. I played in the early morning group at the Ankeny Y for 15 years and then Trailpoint for the last few years. I also played in the Sunday night Urbandale league for 20+...

    Time for a new modem

    I have Mediacom cable (will likely switch to Metronet when it’s finally installed in my neighborhood). I’ve had the Orbi for 3 years and love it. I’ve had the Netgear CM1000 modem for 3 years and it has worked well. There may be a new model available.
