Took the boys golfing today.

Friday is the last day of their Spring Break, so I took the afternoon off and we played nine holes. (Well, I played 9.) Cooper played 1 and a few shots. Jack played most of the holes, either from the reds or from my drive. I actually had 5 pars, including the last 3.

My buddy Denny took this shot, as we were just signing in.

It's right above the tree line, headed for the hole.

The White House and DoJ are now under fire because, in disrespecting the post of U.S. attorney, they appeared to interfere with the independence of that office in a way that's unprecedented. In the previous quarter-century, according to the Congressional Research Service, no more than five and perhaps only two U.S. attorneys, out of 486 appointed by a president and confirmed by the Senate, have been similarly forced out—in the middle of a presidential term for reasons not related to misconduct. "It would be unprecedented for the Department of Justice or the president to ask for the resignations of United States attorneys during an administration, except in rare instances of misconduct or for other significant cause," White said when she testified in February about the Bush firings before much was known about them.

I shot an eagle on Saturday at River Hills. Hit a driver, 2-iron hybrid to 21 feet, and actually made the putt, on the 512-yard 17th. Yes, it was quite wind-aided. But it was only my second eagle, ever.
