Jack has volunteered to help at the International, a PGA Tour event that is being held in a nearby town. Since he got some passes, I will be going up tomorrow. I’ve never watched any professional golf before. I am glad that I checked the site, since I learned that cameras are not permitted.

BBC News reports on the first cloned horse born in Italy ten weeks ago. A mule clone was born earlier this year in the United States. Prometea, who is the clone of the mare who acted as surrogate, looks like a sweetie. It will be interesting to see how she develops. The success that resulted in Prometea took 328 attempts.
