So, they started selling these cardboard periscopes with mirrors so you could see him play if you were in the back. The photo I posted shows one of these periscopes. It actually worked.

I actually built a periscope like that with two mirrors when I was a kid. Not to watch golf.

I can’t quite remember what got me interested in it. But it was pretty cool. I think I used a Reynolds Wrap box.

Correct. Salvador Dalí with Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel in 1938.

Dalí - "Portrait imaginaire de Lautréamont à 19 ans obtenu d’après la méthode paranoiaque-critique" (1937 lithograph). Snapped this picture in Chicago (see here).

You know you are old when... your generation is the oldest one at weddings and parties.

You know you are NOT SO OLD when you still can drink most of them yuongsters under the table.

It wasn't as fast and it was much harder to plagiarize, but it worked.

The guy could work circles around anyone. Never really liked him, though. Tried my best to avoid him.
