Today was one of those rare weekend days. One of those rare weekend days in that I had lots of time to do whatever I wanted. Given my two weeks of meritorious service, my darling wife told me to go enjoy the day on my own terms.

Another Lesson on Life and Losing From the Golf Course
Last weekend I played golf with a buddy and two of his friends I hadn’t met before. It was a beautiful day and we had a good time.

For years I found every reason to not get started. I fought the intro. Don’t wait to get started on things. Start today.
