What an idiot... Gosh.

So I am trying to figure out who is the bigger idiot, myself or Phil Mickelson. Yesterday Phil blew his chance to win the U.S. Open, and this time (as in the past), it wasn't the course that ate him up, it was himself. Having a one shot lead going into 18 all Phil had to do was par 18, something that he had done the first three rounds at the Open. So he takes driver off the tee (a hole after taking driver into a trash can lid in the gallery on 17), and pulls is so far left that it bounces off a corporate tent. Than he try's to do to much with his next shot and hits a tree square, his next shot goes into the sand trap, his next shot over the green, he misses the chip. He doubles the hole, letting his shot for an open slip away. After he said that he was "such an idiot."

Now to yours truly. I just got a new phone on Friday... A razor in fact. I am cool let me tell you. I have this cool black phone where the key pad lights up, I have a music ring tone (Beach Boys), and this phone has so many gadgets it makes me ill. So I'm at the lake on Sunday evening (yea ok you probably can see where this one is going already) and we are going to take a pontoon ride. I am holding the boat down so my dad can poor some gas in the tank and my grandma can get on. Some waves come along (it's not uncommon Lake Minnetonka is a busy place), and I am basically holding the boat and sitting back with all my weight in order to keep it steady. We get on the boat start going, and I reach to grab my phone and it's not there (now it's all becoming clear isn't it). After we get back my sister tried to call it, and checks in the house. I run to get my suit on and go in the water to realize that my phone was in about three feet of water under the dock. It does not turn on certainly, and needless to say I was about as upset as I have ever been. The phone had to fall out of my pocket at the perfect angle and go through the small crack in-between boards just right. If I did that 10 times I don't think it would happen that way again. It would have bounced on the dock (which I would have heard, or gotten caught... Awesome. So I slammed the phone on the dock got out of the water not listening to my family who was trying to help me, and I chucked the phone across the lawn (what am I 8 years old?). Needless to say the phone is toast. After it dried out later it turned back on, but the battery is shot, there is water and sand inside the screen, and you can hear sand inside the phone. I am going to try and go get a new phone, but have a feeling that I may have to pay a stiff price for it.

Look for my second installment on leadership tomorrow or Wed. Hope everyone had a great weekend.
