On Butterfly Wings... A Note From Jo

From a catapillar... to a chrysalis... to a beautiful butterfly...

In almost every classroom you will find butterflies in different stages of their life cycle. The children all know that the hungry catapillars will form a chrysalis and while in that chrysalis will become a perfect, beautiful butterfly. It's expected, a known fact... they marvel at the beautiful colors of their drying wings and look forward to the day they fly.

But... sometimes things go wrong and a butterfly emerges with a damaged wing. Are they any less impressed, any less excited? No.

Everything Breaks Toward the Rio Grande...

Xander Dobreff posted on September 26, 2011

In the practice round today I did not score all that well. Although, I learned a lot about the course. There is a Mountain behind the course and the Rio Grande towards the other end of the city and everything breaks towards the Rio away from the Mountain peak. It took me 16 holes to figure out exactly how this was affecting my putts.
