Thoughts for the day.
It's been a few days since I've posted a Blog. I don't know why. I just haven't had much to say recently.
I've been sick. Actually for about a week and a half I was very, very sick. I couldn't take it. I felt like the world had opened up a chasm straight to hell and that I'd found myself in the unfortunate state of having fallen into it.
I was miserable.
But my sister Teesa, took care of me. That was really nice, and totally unexpected. She came up to my place and gave me medicine, and fed me some food. (Well, she gave me some food, I still fed myself.) But she was just very sweet and very caring. It was so nice to know that she was there for me.
Sometimes, the simplest actions can make us feel like the most special person alive.
I've started golfing again. Now that the weather has improved a bit and the days are getting longer again.
We took Adam with us to the course. The first time out we gave him lots of pointers and tried to help him improve. And then on the second outing with the boy, he went and accomplished what it took me 10 years to do. He beat Dad.
Now, his win could be disputed by many who play golf, since he took a few liberties with his play on the greens. There were at least two holes I saw where he got the ball close, and then did the whole, "I'd make that next one, so I'll just pick it up," thing. But we let him get away with it.
So with that understanding, he did beat my Dad.
And I must admit, it made me angry. Not yell at the moon angry, but upset. How could he go and do that so fast? It took me forever to get good enough to beat my Dad. And here he's done it in just a few goes. Sure he's played before with his friends and his own father. But he went from a 100 on one weekend and shot an 81 the next. That's quite a bit of improvement.
Oh well. I guess I'll just have to beat him myself next time.
Hey, y'all! Don't forget to post on the message boards!
Ciao.
