Today, I am off very early for a golf game down in Franklin, Kentucky at Kenny Perry's golf course, one I am looking forward to playing with one of my oldest and best friends. It's a long drive, but I expect it will be worth it. Unfortunately, that means I don't have time for normal Quickies due to having to get up really early.
