A bit rusty, but it was great to get outside.
The kids are coming along nicely and working on their swings. I explained to them that golf may be the most frustrating game ever invented. When I was a kid I’d get so mad at the club, the ball, that dang badger that distracted me!!! It was always something else’s fault.
I enjoy the game a lot more in my old age. And who doesn’t like topgolf!

One day I’ll drift away into the coming day. I’ll look back, try to look back, against the coming fray.
I hope to smile and send some hope as I fly about. Not to change the coming fate of foregone distant route.
I’ll try to send a happy thought, a message of hope and love. To those I’ll miss and those I’ll watch as I hopefully go above.
And if instead the darkness comes at least I’ve seen the light. Of those I love and the ones I’ll miss, worth the loss of sight.

The thing about it is you never know what the next year will bring.
12 years ago I was on my computer trying to create an algorithm to figure out the powerball numbers for the coming week. I was sure that was the only path to success because the path I was on seemed to be only downhill.
At 28 years old I was working at Wendy’s, my first job in the fast food industry. I walked to my job each morning because my car had been taken. I’d like to say it was the lowest point I’d been at, but the truth is I’d been lower. I’d come to realize that life doesn’t have a lowest point or even a highest. It’s life and life can be a fickle termagant.
Everyone talks about The Big Break, the moment it all turned around. In truth, for the normal human, there’s not a single turn because life is a crazy road that winds its way until the next day.
I believe in the next day, just like I believe in the next year. Sure I still play powerball, a guy can dream about winning the lottery right? But golden paths were made for dreams and life isn’t a dream.
It just is.

I love this show!!!
It’s the best thing I’ve watched since GOT ended. I really like how they intermingled the real story line into this new one and made it work perfectly. It’s also really amusing hearing “the other guy’s” perspective on how it really went down. It’s so funny!
Kind of makes me think of this clip from How I Met Your Mother!
I am on season 2 now. There better be a season 3!
