It was fun to be one of the brightly colored tee  shirted walkers on the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation walk,  bouncing along the streets surrounding Grimsley High School  in Greensboro last Saturday morning.  We resemble jelly beans going down a chute, starting bunched by color and then the teams breaking apart by energy level and the colors merging and remixing.    You get a new tee shirt and also get to mingle with nice people for a good cause, not bad for a rainy Saturday.  Usually each team is named for a child or children who have juvenile diabetes, who struggle each day with meter readings and shots.  They inspire us all to walk for the cure.  It is a fine way to spend a fall morning!  Consider it for next September.

Thanks to everyone who joined in the fun!

There is not much that makes me want to use a vacation day when it’s raining, but going to the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield County Club is one of them.  I certainly did not get to watch all the golf I had hoped for on Thursday due to the weather delays, but what I did get to see were lots of Greensboro and Triad residents coming together to put on a great show for the whole world to see.  I saw Mastercolor customers as volunteers, I saw them as corporate sponsors, and I saw what I hope to be future customers with smuggled cameras snapping photos of the new “hotties” on tour.  My favorite, easy call, Webb Simpson.  Webb grew up playing in Raleigh and reached the #1 amateur in the world rankings while playing at Wake Forest.  Webb also happens to be the younger brother of one of my best friends, so it makes my decision on who is my favorite that much easier.  I hope anyone in the area who has the chance will get out and support the community, the PGA Tour and most importantly, Webb Simpson.  And if you go, and if you smuggle your Digital Camera, and if you need the finest Digital Prints made, please come visit us at Mastercolor Labs.
