• Funny how things change when you got a liquor in ya:
  You're quicker with the tongue, givin' me rhythm now.
  Block the music and the people out to admire the love,
  The nerve of us...impervious to the entire club.
  And like marijuana shotguns, let's blow this joint,
  It's pointless to stay here, so let me anoint.

  By the dawn early light, why is sons fighting for the stripe?

• I've noticed the sound of the golf ball being hit by the golf club is different, and much more realistic, with the hearing aids. The sound with the hearing aids makes sense, and better represents what I know is happening to the golf ball. So you could say that the hearing aids help give me confidence regarding my golf game.
