   As you probably know, next Wednesday September 23, is "Thank a Golf Course Superintendent Day."  Well, that reminds me of a story I have to tell.  I apologize to those who have already heard it.  Some of you, maybe several times already.
   
   I had gone to GCSAA Headquarters in 1995 for a committee meeting. During one of the breaks I went into the book/merchandise store and bought for my then 5-year old son Michael a tee shirt.  On the front was a golf green with a flag and flagstick and the caption below the green read:  "Love Golf?  Thank a Golf Course Superintendent!"  I thought it was pretty cool.
   
   A few weeks later we went to visit my parents.  Michael happened to be wearing the shirt that day.  My then 70--year old mother asks my son to show her his tee shirt.  She reads it and says to him, "Oh, that's right Michael.  Your Dad is a Golf Course Superintendent, isn't he?"
   
   "No, Grandma.  My Dad is a Golf Course Super Nintendo."
   
   I couldn't stop laughing.  Something only a kid could think to say.
   
   GCSAA should start selling those shirts again.  Michael now needs a Men's Large.

   My first superintendent job my brother bought me a desk name plate that said Super Nintendo, based on a Simpson's reference to Superintendent Chalmers from Ralph.
   
   1 month after getting that and putting it on my desk I was fired, so it's staying at home for now.

   Snow Rider is a fun and exciting online game that gives players the experience of riding through a snowy mountain environment. The game is simple to understand but can become challenging as the player progresses. Its combination of speed, obstacles, rewards, and beautiful winter scenery makes it enjoyable for people who like casual games. Unlike many complicated video games, Snow Rider does not require players to learn a long story or complicated rules. Instead, it focuses on quick reactions, concentration, and the desire to achieve a high score.
