I’m too old to Trick or Treat but I still love this time of year because, you see, it’s Halloween candy thievin’ season.
You see, I’m a candy thief. I admit it. I’m actually proud of it. I have my children trained. They go out and get the goodies, they pick out my favorites for me and fork them over. They get the rest.

It’s almost Fair Season here in south GA.
Can you hear the Midway in your mind? Can you remember the taste of the cotton candy and the popcorn?
Just a few more days and it will be here again. I can hardly wait.

“The Wife Song” by Tim Hawkins
Roll the tape:
It’s been a little while since this story happened but it’s still as inspiring now as it was then.
The story of Leo’s accomplishment was reported by newspapers and media organizations around the world.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Leo Fiyalko would just as soon get on with life.
So he made a hole-in-one on the 110-yard, par-3 fifth hole at Cove Cay Country Club in Clearwater.
So what if it was the 92-year-old’s first hole-in-one in more than 60 years of playing golf?
Big deal.
And who cares if he is legally blind, with a condition called macular degeneration?
Fiyalko doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about.
“It was my first hole-in-one, and I never saw it,” Fiyalko said. “I was just trying to put the ball on the green.”
That’s about all he’ll say on the subject. But that didn’t stop his friends in the Twilighters Club golf group from presenting him with a plaque on Jan. 24 commemorating the feat. There is a picture on the plaque of the fifth hole and a line that reads: “Leo Fiyalko, hole-in-one, five iron, 110 yards.”
