The golf team of Rick-Kevin-Larry-Mike has two -- count em, two -- secret, mail-order weapons. The first is a Controller driver with a hitting face of armor-pierce metal, the hardest metal in golf. The ad says I might even drive over the green on some par 4's. Rick and Kevin bring to the table a new iron for approach shots. This club puts so much backspin on the ball that it will stop overshoots and and roll 'em right back toward the hole. Rick, Mike and Kevin are currently lobbying the golfing companies to merge their clubs so Mike's drives will automatically back up onto the green. But the team's best weapon is a non-mail-order surprise. It is Larry McCarty, who is bringing his natural, raw tee-off power -- along with his raw karaoke voice -- all the way from Tennessee.

Mike and Karen McCarty took a trip to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. They flew to Seattle, then took a train to Vancouver, a ferry to Victoria, a ferry back to Seattle, and then ended up the trip flying to L.A. where Jerry and Kathlene showed the honeymooners a great time.

Amazingly, the trip was accident-free for Mike, who only once fell backward off a ledge on the edge of an a sheer-drop overlook while trying to take a picture in Vancouver. Also amazingly, Mike only landed in a bush and did his best Maxwell Smart imitation when bouncing back up. We had a great time.

The annual Fourth of July McCarty Picnic shifted to the Steve and Kristen McCarty house for the first time. The former hostess, Jean "Mum" McCarty, attended. Dennis McCarty and son Adam flew in for the event. The others drove to the scene. They included Rick McCarty and kids Erin and Kevin; Kelly and Margaret McCarty and their kids Brad, Austin and Chris plus Chrissie. The other Chris McCarty brought his parents, Mike and Karen, plus his sister Jill. And we can't forget the gracious hosts, Steve and Kristen plus Megan. There was lots of good food, talk, a few athletic contests and more, but nary a firework was shot off by the time Mike left.

Kelly & Margaret would like to warn all of the Metro readers that Brad McCarty now has his drivers permit. All Mc's are cautioned to drive at their own risk. Actually, Brad is a pretty good driver. Here is a hidden camera photo of the inside of my van taken while Brad was driving.
