LookOut Mountain,Rock City, and a Joke

In a previous post/comment June infers I have been picking on women in my joke selection. The following joke should set the record straight and I’ll throw in a few photos of Rock City on Lookout Mountain in Georgia to boot.

Brain Transplant::::

In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill.

Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber. I’m afraid I’m the bearer of bad news,’ he said as he surveyed the worried faces. ‘The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant.

It’s an experimental procedure, semi-risky and you will have to pay for the brain yourselves.’

The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, ‘Well, how much does a brain cost?’

 The Doctor quickly responded, ‘25,000 for a male brain, and 3,000 for a female brain.’

The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked.

A man, unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, ‘Why is the male brain so much more?’

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and said to the entire group, ‘It’s just standard pricing procedure.

We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they’ve actually been used.’

Which is just across the street from Rock City.  The Chanticleer Inn Bed and Breakfast.. accommodations are very pleasant and comfortable; the grounds are immaculate, and the main house is elegant. The food is excellent. Linda and I hope to make a return visit soon.

Nostalgia & Nostalgia

Nos·tal·gia   noun

A sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.

1. "I was overcome with acute nostalgia for my days in college"

2. "a nostalgia for traditional values"

   • something done or presented in order to evoke feelings of nostalgia.

   

“The times you lived through, the people you shared those times with — nothing brings it all to life like an old mix tape. It does a better job of storing up memories than actual brain tissue can do. Every mix tape tells a story. Put them together, and they can add up to the story of a life.” ― Rob Sheffield

“There are a few moments in your life when you are truly and completely happy, and you remember to give thanks. Even as it happens you are nostalgic for the moment, you are tucking it away in your scrapbook.” ― David Benioff

 

“I felt a pang -- a strange and inexplicable pang that I had never felt before.
It was homesickness.
Now, even more than I had earlier when I'd first glimpsed it, I longed to be transported into that quiet little landscape, to walk up the path, to take a key from my pocket and open the cottage door, to sit down by the fireplace, to wrap my arms around myself, and to stay there forever and ever.” ― Alan Bradley,

Nostalgia is a file that removes the rough edges from the good old days. Doug Larson

Joe Todd says,”Have a great day.”

Golf & More Golf

GOLF..GOLF..GOLF..GOLF..GOLF..GOLF..GOLF..GOLF..

On a cold blustery January day I had the opportunity to spend a couple hours touring the Jack Nicklaus Museum located in the heart of The Ohio State University sports complex in Jack's hometown of Columbus, Ohio.

The museum is a 24,000 square-foot educational and historical facility.

2355 Olentangy River Road Columbus, Ohio 43210

This statue was commissioned by Golf Magazine to honor Jack Nicklaus as golfer of the century, 1888—1988……

and the tour begins.With The Legends of Golf….

Nicklaus was born in the Columbus, Ohio , the son of pharmacist Charlie Nicklaus (who ran several sites named Nicklaus Drug Store) and his wife Helen.. Jack Nicklaus is a “family man” whether as a son,husband,or father.

  There are video screens in many of the “rooms” of the museum. This is a screen shot from one of them.

DEDICATION

“My ability to concentrate and work toward that goal has been my greatest asset.” J.N.

“Through the years of experience I have found that air offers less resistance than dirt.” J.N.

“Concentration is a fine antidote to anxiety.” J.N.

“A kid grows up a lot faster on the golf course. Golf teaches you how to behave.” J.N.

Unlike the other major championships, the Masters is held each year at the same location, Augusta National Golf Club

“I'm a firm believer that in the theory that people only do their best at things they truly enjoy. It is difficult to excel at something you don't enjoy.” J.N…. I really like this quote…..

The PGA Championship (sometimes, especially outside of the United States referred to as the U.S. PGA Championship or U.S. PGA) is an annual golf tournament conducted by the Professional Golfers Association of America. It is one of the four major championships in professional golf.

“The game is meant to be fun.” J.N. and most golfers…

F.Y.I.:: The U.S. Open scheduled so, if there are no weather delays, the final round is played on the third Sunday of June, which is Father's Day.

“Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game's two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.” J.N

“Some places it could have been worse. Some places it could have been better. Tomorrow is another day.” J.N.

Golf course design:: Nicklaus is in partnership with his four sons and his son-in-law through their company, Nicklaus Design. The company had 299 courses open for play at the end of 2005, which was nearly 1% of all the courses in the world .. WIKI

The tour of the museum ends with an 18 minute presentation in the theater (narrated by Sean Connery). I found the presentation enjoyable as I did the other presentations in the different rooms.

Three screens all with a different image…

Concentration & Determination

Now we end our walkabout back where we started

"The Golden Bear" Jack was raised in Upper Arlington, and attended Upper Arlington High School, whose nickname and mascot are called the Golden Bears.

..Thanks for stopping by..This may be the longest post I’ve done, but as many of you know I really enjoy golf. See most recent golf post from Ocean Isle.. I also like visiting museums and I’m about two or three posts behind in that area depending on how you count.LOL…  If you enjoyed the post or are a golfer go ahead and

or leave a comment….
