I read chapter 2 of TJed For Teens today. I found their insights into the classics interesting and how the rich families have learned them for a long time. But the masses haven't learned them at all. Which is one of the reasons that the rich tend to keep their wealth, and the rest of the world pretty much stays where they are in life. Unless of course, they happen to get their hands on this type of thinking and go into an entrepreneurship, or move up through the ranks of a company, and make their own fortune.

I went and played 27 holes today at Natanis. I shot one-over on my first nine holes, the Arrowhead course's back nine. And two-under on my last 18, played on the Tomahawk course. I made my first Eagle on the par-5 3rd. A 260 yard drive left me 180 yards to the pin. I hit a 4-iron from the rough to 3 feet and made the putt for Eagle.

A Big Broncos Comeback
Last night on Monday Night Football, the Broncos played against the Chargers in San Diego The first few drives for each team stalled after a few plays, and they traded punts. On the third punt of the game, the Broncos returner muffed the punt, and the Chargers recovered near the 25-yard line.
The Broncos D held them to just a field goal there. On the ensuing kickoff, the returner fumbled it on the catch, then picked it up and ran out to the 15-yard line, only to have it knocked out again.The Chargers recovered there, and two plays later made it 10-0.
On the next possession for the Broncos, Eric Decker caught a ball and had a clear path to the end zone. Unfortunately, he tripped over himself and ended up with a 55-yard catch. Later in the drive, Manning the receiver had a miscommunication that resulted in a pick for the Chargers. They tacked on another 7 points before the end of the quarter, and made the score 24-0.
The Broncos got the ball to start the second half and drove down the field in 8 plays and scored their first touchdown of the game, making it 24-7. On the next possession for the Chargers, the runningback fumbled on 3rd down. The ball rolled past 2 Broncos defenders, and the Chargers fell on top of it for a first down. On the next play, the defense stripped Rivers, picked up the fumble and ran it back 65 yards for a touchdown, making the score 24-14.
The Broncos then got an interception and drove down the field and scored again, making it 24-21 in the fourth quarter. After a punt the Broncos had the ball back again and marched right down the field. Stokley made a great catch in the end zone to put the Broncos ahead for the first time in the game, 28-24. On the following possession, Rivers threw another interception. It was returned for a touchdown to put the game out of reach.
The final score was the Broncos 35, and the Chargers 24. It tied the record for the biggest comeback in NFL history.
