The Week Off Is Basically Done.

I'd say my week off was pretty relaxing. We got all our outside stuff done we wanted. Today, I slept til 8:00 AM. 

It rained a couple days so, I binged two seasons of "Mindhunter" on Netflix. Really good show. Right up my alley. I worked yesterday cuz of the holiday weekend. It was a ghost town. I feel good. Ready to get back to work, back to my normal schedule. 

I am going golfing today too. 

Not much going on besides that. Getting back to my regular schedule is pretty exciting. Work will be exciting too with the new changes coming soon. Plus we are approaching the busy season. Yesterday driving home from work, the bakery had a sign up saying sold out, so I think they were pretty darn busy anyway. It was trippy driving to work seeing people inside. I was what???   Oh it's Saturday not Sunday. Yesterday felt like Sunday. It is weird having today off now too. 

Not really much on my mind. I like how I live. I like the simplicity of my days. Simplicity in I have to labor for 8 hours give or take,  and then whatever. Dog, golf,  chores, dinner, sleep. This is my healthiest life for sure. 

My blog is pretty boring. I really have so little on my mind. Maybe no one even blogs. I don't hardly. I don't do social networking hardly. For me that stuff has run its course. 

We grow up having friends and stuff, and you slowly drift away. For me,  I am just busy. As I get older I don't feel like spending money either. We do spend money, but I do like saving. 

Anyway this is about nothing. 

Laterzzzzzzzzz.     :)

This Is My Saturday Blog.

I didn't blog on Saturday,  as I was in Chicago. So this is my Saturday blog. Chicago was fun. Really fun. Friday we went into the 'burbs. Kinda like a little College/HS reunion thing. I laughed my ass off remembering the stupid shit we've done in the past. It was discussed it may have been like 15 years since I've seen any of these people,  which is ridiculous. Seems like 3. 

I guess I was working 3 jobs and 7 days each week for  while. When I visit Chicago again I only have to go to Lincoln Park area instead of the 'burbs. The burb commute on Friday is horrible. Lincoln Park is nothing. 

Anyway as I've been unsociable for a bit, I found out it also is fun to be sociable. I do both well. 

It seems a lot of my friends are ready to retire at the age of 55. Not me.  :)  To retire sounds good to many folks,  but you still have to fill the day. My favorite thing is to fill up my day with labor, and eat a meal. Most people do worry about how to fill the day. 

Anyhow everybody probably got older, but I think everyone still looks good. I probably look fine too as I am 10 pounds or so less than my marathon PR weight. 

That's that. Yesterday was warm and sunny so I took Hope,  and hit my 8 iron at the park, then watched the masters. 

I have this week off. I think it should be pretty good. I have stuff to keep me busy. 

Anyhow, that's my Saturday blog. 

Laterzzzzzzzzz.    :)

Life Isn't Always What You Think.

So, I've been reading a book. An English author who I never heard of. I bought it for $2.99 on my nook. Turns out it is a really good book. Takes place in London. A girls take, as the author lives in busy London. The book makes me think girls are not as confident as you would think. Yeah they can look pretty, get dressed up, and have drinks with friends,  but on their own they think differently about things, than as we picture them being pretty,  carefree, and dressed up. 

Just things I was thinking about while reading the book. Anyway this week found me getting healthy. Weather wise it was shitty all week. I drove every day, and ran errands after work. I've been listening to David Gray a lot. English singer songwriter,  who has some really good songs. I cooked a lot of meals this week too. Lasagna,  chicken enchiladas, beef stew. Another week in the life I guess. 

Spring will be coming soon, but yesterday we had a fresh batch of white stuff on the ground. Not fair for April. I am going to go golfing today. 

So not really much exciting happening in my life. Probably not much exciting happening in anyone's life. I don't know what young people think life is supposed to be. You want to fall in love I guess,  get married,  make money. Make a name for yourself somehow I guess. By the time you are 55 you just want to be comfortable I guess. 

Do I want to make a name for myself?  No. What I want out of my life is what I have i guess. A busy life with plenty of time off each day to do fun stuff. Yard work,  golf, take dogs,  make a meal. That's it. Sleep, and repeat. 

I am free in ways I guess. Outside world pressures don't really penetrate. I don't have a lot of "have to" in my life. 

Financially I am fine, I have good jobs. An easy life. I don't look over my shoulder thinking what if. 

Anyway, I spose. I'm gonna go golfing. It will be cold for golfing,  but who cares.

xxoo.       :)

Oh geez, I was going through my whole thing on auto pilot.   :)

A Different Week.

I guess starting last weekend I started getting sick. You know one of those hindsight things. I didn't know it at the time. Monday, I knew. I had aches, maybe a bit of a fever. I took nyquil on Monday,  fever must have broke, and felt good on Tuesday. I did develop a cough though. I used the same playbook all week though. Read, eat, nyquil, read/sleep. I took Hope for her first walk yesterday. No working out either. 

I would say I've been sick more times in the last year, then the previous 30 years. I don't know what you make of that. 

I am putting all of my money I get from my "Oh shit" raise into savings, and plan on doing the same when Lisa gets her raise. 

Prices are really ridiculous again I see. OSB was $6/ 4'x8' sheet in 2018. 2022, it is $55/sheet. Something has gotta give. OSB is just a basic sheathing type of plywood. 

I would assume eventually that fact alone will slow building down. If anyone carries credit card debt they are paying 20% plus I imagine. As interest rates rise, it will be good to have cash. There is a playbook for high inflation. It is high interest rates. The fed chair under Reagan used higher interest rates to combat inflation. Are we comparing apples to oranges though?  

Basically higher interest rates means economically people and businesses will just have to take their lumps.  

I feel pretty safe where I am at. I obviously at this stage am a low risk guy for better or worse. 

Besides that I have been reading a lot. I've been reading free books or 99 cent books on my nook. Surprisingly pretty entertaining stuff actually. Golf is out for a bit due to weather, but I am excited for the year as I feel I straightened out my golf swing. Around the green I am a mess. My touch I developed as last year went on is gone. I can get it back, but it is hard if I am not golfing. 

Not really much going on with me. I know in my early years I could see pretty clearly what a life amounts to. At 55, I've lived it. I was very lucky to have had a helping hand planning out my future. Putting blind trust in one who could see farther than me. I did have to learn a lot about myself. Basically knowing my true worth. Being given a heart that can accept,  and be happy with it too. I have no idea how others are. Maybe still trying to figure out their worth I suspect. How would I know?  I don't walk in those shoes. I walk in mine,  and am pretty content in these ones.  

I spose.

It Is That Time.

Good morning. How's it going?  Me, I am fine. It is that time again where I prove to you I still am alive. How would you know otherwise?  

I got one of those "Oh Shit" raises this week, this time from my main job. First words when they told me was "Oh Shit"    :)  good problems to have for sure. 

Work will be exciting this year. Going to be doing some new stuff soon. 

I went golfing on Wednesday which was great. 60+ degrees, and we walked 18 holes. It was tiring by the end after a full day of work. I don't do fitbit anymore,  but I am sure it was 15+miles on the legs. I do have something wrong with my swing,  but I think I figured it out. Famous last words I know, but I feel I was setting up my swing wrong. I had a real aha moment yesterday. 

Not much besides that I guess. I fertilized yesterday. Decided to do it myself this year. If I water the lawn, makes sense I give a shit enough to fertilize it. In past years I probably didn't give a shit. That changed several years back I guess. 

Things are going pretty well I guess. Financially I am getting more comfortable. I think Lisa will be getting an "Oh Shit" raise in April too. If you look to the past like post WWII, and 60's, and 70's Economies, you sense things are different now. Goods and services are more than bikes,  tvs, and cars. Technology has changed our Economy. Quicker shipping,  and global Economies, make everything more vibrant. 

There were some hiccups,  with the dotcom bust, and savings and loan scandals, and Enron, and mortgage backed securities,  but it seems like things are okay. Which probably means we are living in a bubble Economy that's about to crash.  Who knows? Economists from the 80s are probably as worthless as computer programmers.  Shit is just different now. It seems okay, but it may be bad. I have no idea.  I'm okay.  So that's good. We have good jobs,  no debt, house is paid for along with our vehicles. Money is in the bank,  just not enough, cuz that's just the way that works. 

I guess that's about it. Just plugging along doing my thing. Life is okay at 55 I guess you could say. Pretty easy.  

Laterzzzzzzzzz.       :)

The Last Cold Day?

Today is going to be unseasonably cold, and next week we have a pretty significant warm up. Golfing is in the future next week. 

This week I picked up a bit of a cold, which has been making its rounds I guess. I slept and relaxed a lot. I did make it out for a pre-planned happy hour on Wednesday. I would have canceled and stayed home,  but we never get together,  and I was feeling better. It was fun. 

They let a guy go at the bakery. He knew a lot about baking,  or at least liked tinkering at home with it I guess, but was super slow at production. Being a baker who is slow at production is not a good fit. Not everyone is super fast, but super slow is not a winning recipe.

I felt bad for the owners who had to do it, and the person, but a new day started the day after, and there was work to do. 

Yesterday was how a bakery in my opinion should run. Everyone can do almost everything. Cinnamon rolls need to be made,  someone can jump on it, and knock it out. Same with croissants,  muffins, coffee cakes,  and puff dough. That way vacations aren't a pain etc...  In the end it will be a positive thing. The other guy can get a job anywhere, everywhere is hiring. 

That is that. It is a pretty good time of year with sports. March madness, baseball starting soon, NBA playoffs, warm weather and golf. I'd say NHL playoffs too,  but the Blackhawks suck, so I don't give a shit. 

Outside that not much I guess. Life goes on, I continue to read and listen to books at a pretty good clip. I didn't work out this week due to the cold,  and didn't take Hope. Hopefully back to full speed next week. 

The War is going on, and it is so stupid. Russia will be relegated to a 3rd World Nation by the end of it. It potentially could get pretty ugly for us all really. 

I'll just continue to work,  eat, and sleep. That is our lot in life.

It Has Been A Week.

Good morning. How's it going?  Me, I am fine. Blogging once a week is a pain. Who knew?  Nothing crazy happened this week. The weather was mild so I got out to the park with my 8 iron. I am actually golfing today too. 

We got the War going on, which is so stupid. On no level does indiscriminate killing make sense. Troops following orders. Makes one ponder about the order givers huh. 

Life has always been this way though, so what can you do. 

I am not really sure how much it will change my way of life. Gas is high now. That sucks, but I don't really drive a ton. How the economy does I guess is what will effect my life the most. Maybe not even a ton. Prices for other stuff has to get in order. Gas isn't the only expensive thing. 

I work two jobs. It would seem I am living my best life with house paid off, and no car payments. No debt actually,  except I do use credit cards for cash back, and whatnot,  but I don't carry a balance. Even for me though I wish money would accumulate quicker.   :)

I know it is probably one of those things where 5 years from now I'll be like Woah!! Where did that come from?  

Anyway life goes on. Day after day. Our new aquatic center opened up. Lap swim, and High school swimming are two different pools now. I have a free pass to check it out Monday. I don't have a ton of time,  but getting a mile swim give or take 3-4 times per week doesn't take long. 

I still have to take Hope,  and golf is time consuming.  We will see.  

Laterzzzzzzz.      :)

Ch~Ch~Ch~Changes.

I don't have to tell anyone the Ukrainian thing is a mess. Naked aggression with a conscription Armed Forces vs. A proud people fighting for what is their right. There is only one bad side in this War, which is obvious to all... well almost all. Surprising for sure. People will suffer in ways I never have. It is a bad equation for Russia no doubt. They cannot win. Even if they do they lose. We ain't here to fix the World though. 

So my fitbit took a shit. I found out it wasn't under warranty, but they offered me 35% off a new one. I could have got an upgraded charge 5 for like $100 with the discount. A no brainer. Of course I'd do that. I love my fitbit. Then I thought,  I know what my mileage will be day in day out, week in week out. Do I still need this info?  I know how I sleep etc...  I decided I don't need it. I save $10/month too cuz I did all the extra stuff too. 

I find myself doing that more and more. I don't blog hardly anymore. I got rid of my Twitter,  I rarely use FB. Just cuz I did it for such and such time doesn't mean I have to continue to. I like change I guess. I like taking layers off my life to simplify things I guess. It is easy for me to do too. I am not in any clubs or groups. I am my own person so to speak, and its pretty sweet. 

There are some changes happening soon at work too. Not sure all it entails,  but I think it will be exciting. The couple changes I know for sure are really good changes. Fun fun. 

So, I guess that's it. If any of you people have investment accounts you know this year has been a roller coaster. Mostly going down fast. Then you had the last two days which makes no sense to me at all. Crazy crazy right?  

I just am patiently waiting for interest rates to rise,  so my Discover savings account can make money again. 

I spose. 

Laterzzzzzzzzz.       :)

Who The Heck Wants To Blog?

I sure don't. That may be a foreshadowing of the end of this. Not that it is a big deal in any way. What a change from 55 to newly college graduate huh?  When you are young you think of the difference you might make. The name you might make for yourself. 

I know I thought like that kinda, but as I  looked toward the World to see what kind of difference I could make, the World looked ugly. I didn't see any lasting difference to be made. So, I made the turn. My eyesight was very good back then, cuz at 55 I see very clearly there is no difference to be made. 

Maybe that is why blogging died. People had their lives. They were doing things with their life, making a difference perhaps,  except as the years went on we all realized we were doing no such thing. 

There was no point to our blogs, just like their is no point to our lives really. :)

Yeah, people got married, got divorced, had kids, switched jobs, whatever. Same stuff that's been going on since forever. 

At 55 I see very clearly. I'm fine with this though. I work,  eat, sleep, and I do it with a happy heart. Same stuff that has been done since forever. I didn't make any difference, cuz there was not a difference to be made. 

Yes yes, my story has to finish at some point, but I am of very very little value. I see the worth of me being one coin. I very much was like the proverb of the lady giving up her last coin. At 55 I understand it, when maybe as a new college graduate I felt I was worth more.  

Anyhoo,  I spose. If you want to know what the turn is, and what the coin means you'll have to go back, and reread my whole blog.   :)


Lol

February Moves On.

Not just February really, but time. Time goes quicker and quicker the older you get. Reminds me of a book Catch-22. Such a stupid,  and funny, and brilliant book. Anyway one character tried to just do boring boring stuff. I think its why he joined the army. His reasoning was time goes slowly when you are bored,  so if he was always bored he'd live a really long time.    :)

Anyhow, not much going on with me. We get our taxes done Monday. I put $5000 in my IRA, so I should get a good refund. Hopefully enough to pay for my golf membership. This time last year we were cash heavy, and this year we are not. Last year was expensive for us. Pool, vehicles,  and my dad bringing bed bugs in the house. That was $2000. We are still trying to get him in a home. He's losing his mental faculties more and more. 

Life goes on. Things I guess are going pretty good. Golf season for us Michiganders is coming up quickly. Should be fun. What a great sport. Wish I didn't give it up after College. Wish I took lessons too. Oh well. 

Not much going on with me really. I woke up dreading doing this cuz I'd rather read. If I don't do this than I pretty much disappear, and that doesn't bug me at all. Maybe it is a luxury of being comfortable in your own head. The need to socialize disappears. Maybe it's because I never feel lonely. Do people feel lonely?

I know myself pretty well. I am known too, which is pretty powerful I guess. My insides can be seen, which makes me different than you. It's kinda how I can write in a confusing way. Maybe confusing. 

Anyway, I am intrigued by the Russia/Ukraine thing. Just to see how messy stuff gets. The World has always been about decisions of a few wreaking havoc on the lives of the many. 

To what end?  All is vanity. 

I will continue to work, eat, sleep. I am able to do it with a pretty happy heart.  

Laterzzzzzzzzz.       :)

Some Things Are Easier To Do Every Day.

Now that I've done this once per week for a bit, I find it easier to do every day. That doesn't mean I will do this more often. Better are the chances I just don't do the once per week thing anymore. 

I think the reason I do this once per week is I would pretty much completely disappear if I didn't. That doesn't bug me, but in case anyone was interested in me at all this is all there is. 

Once I stopped blogging I stopped with FB and Twitter, and that was just that. It was easy. Turns out I am not too interested in either. Who knew?  

I am going through books, which is pretty awesome. One of the things I've really accepted or continue to try to, is I am very much so average average average. No redeeming qualities,  no great skills in things. Just average. Average may not be a good term, but really I am not sensational in anything. I am fine with that. It is a good thing to know of oneself. 

I don't know if this pandemic switched me any or if I was headed here all along. It's pretty great being here, and being me. Life is easy like this. I don't have any responsibilities.  I don't have meetings to go to, or any engagements that take up my time. 

A natural tendency of people is to make their lives harder, and I do no such thing. 

I put in an honest days effort at my jobs, which is mental health 101. My jobs keep me active. During the summer typically at least 72 miles,  and this winter its closer to 65 miles. I work out, which is the best thing for you I feel. Just lift your body weight a lot. 

I don't do stuff for anyone else. Just for me. I'm invisible remember so no one sees me, and that turns out to be fine with me. How others are I do not know,  I only know me. 

Anyway this is me now. A guy living out my days. Waiting for golf season, which will probably increase my miles to 80 or so. 

Not much going on with me obviously. Just doing what I do. Nothing exciting.  

Laterzzzzzzz.       :)

xoxo.       :)

Saturday, January 29, 2022

Oh Yeah

I almost forgot about this. I was reading my book, and remembered. It was definitely a week of winter. I didn't ride my bike at all, I took Hope once. It took them forever to plow the streets early in the week. Not usually a problem. 

The week was busy mostly running errands for my dad. There seems little point to me blogging once a week, but I don't really do social networking anymore, so outside of working with me this is pretty much all you'll see. Not that anyone would want to read this. I wouldn't. 

I am not that interesting. I live the most remarkable life though. My days are fine. I'm busy, and I enjoy them pretty much. I don't need anything else from life. 

I SHOULD be angry about stuff cuz my one life is of no significance really, but I am fine and content with my little life. 

I've been working out again, and for 55 I lift my body weight a lot with pushups, dips,  and pull ups. I do it more at 55, than 30. I went to a local bar yesterday since way before the pandemic started. I saw people I haven't seen in a while. The smokers aged horribly. Their faces aged. Others gained a lot of weight. I thought with a good feeling about myself,  I am aging well. 

I don't know how to explain it, but the people looked unhealthy. Of course they were playing scratch offs, and that stupid number lottery thing. Seems like a stupid way to spend a Friday, but to each their own. I went there so my dad could grab some lunch. I had a beer and a half. One tall,  and one short. 

Not much besides that I guess. Another week is coming up. Should be fine. I think I'll be able to ride my bike a lot,  and take Hope. We are in a good stretch of days below freezing. Maybe all of January. 

I spose. Blogging isn't so bad. Get your thoughts out of you kinda. 

Laterzzzzzzz.      :)

It's That Time.

Not much went on this week. I did ride my bike 4 of 5 days to work. I also took Hope 4 of 5 days after work. Yesterday I was too tired to do both for some reason. I did go to Sam's Club after work though,  and we had tacos for dinner. I did get my workouts in, and my body is responding nicely. 

Not much going on besides that. I am 55 which seems like a pretty good age to me. You don't really need friends anymore. I have a good routine, which makes my life busy. I have no need to make a name for myself. 

I don't need to be known,  cuz I guess I am, no matter what. I have that feeling I have talked about forever. I feel good on the inside. Finances are fine. We don't have any big expenditures planned this year. Hopefully we save at a good clip. Above our normal I should say. 

We are in the middle of a good winter stretch. I ate good this week. Monday Lisa made a chicken, and noodle curry thing, which was awesome. Lasagna on Tuesday,  Hamburger helper on Wednesday, had pizza at  new joint down the street from us. The owner worked with us at the bakery for a bit, while getting ready to open. Him, and his wife grew up in Palatine like me. Small World. Friday tacos. 

I was staying around 152 pounds,  but I've stretched that to 155. 

Basically life goes on. Day after day like usual. Not a lot on my mind. No words of wisdom, which is nothing new. 

I feel pretty good,  so I assume others are the same. I am older,  things seem easy,  so I assume everyone feels like me. 

Anyway,  aren't you glad I only do this one day a week now?    :)

Laterzzzzz.      :)

Blog Day Again.

During the week I read the book I am currently reading instead of blogging. I like it. I don't miss blogging at all. That being said I don't mind blogging this one day a week. Not that I have anything to blog about. 

Work is slow. When its cold you don't really feel like going out if you don't need to. I haven't even rode my bike in two weeks. The sidewalks were covered in  a thick block of ice. I didn't think it was safe. I did take the time off to take my winter bike in for a tune up. As expected riding bikes in snow isn't the best for them. I'll use it this year,  and hopefully next year,  and then upgrade. 

Not much besides that. At work finances come up once in a while. I find most people aren't 100% happy with their personal finances. I figure I am in as good a position as anyone. I have become frugal in my older years, and a ~$300,000 inheritance surely helped,  but I too am not 100% happy with my personal finances. I save at a good clip,  but even so my balances aren't as high as I'd like. I too yearn for chasing after the wind to get that elusive total amount of dollars that would make me happy. Whatever that is. My mind knows the folly of my hearts wayward ways. 

Generally I am pretty happy however. My days are full. I find myself excited for thinking of all the things I am to do on any given day. I like a messy kitchen, cuz then I get to clean it. I like pondering what to do for dinner each night. 

I do lose a lot of steps not golfing. 72 miles is getting to be a stretch each week. Usually with golf I'd be at 72 miles or more with one day left. Just a difference of 10-11 miles compared to 13-15 per day.  I tried indoor golf,  and it isn't for me. Not real at all. 

I saw the cdc was recommending better masks. Where I live wearing any masks might help. When grocery shopping I'd say maybe 10-15% of the people are wearing masks.  To each their own. I don't really care. I am at that age where I'll take extra steps to insure my health. I've graduated from daredevil living. Age does that. Youth definitely is wasted on the young as the saying goes. I sometimes marvel at the stupidity of my youth.  

Anyway all is good. We have like 1-1/2 months til March. Time goes quick.  

Laterzzzzzzzzz.    :)

The Week That Was.

The thing about blogging once a week is you have to remember what happens for that week instead of just one day. I don't remember what happened last week  :)

We got about 18" of snow dumped on us the last two days. Maybe 2 feet. A lot anyway. I had my investment guy put in $5000 to my IRA. Sadly I don't have $5000 laying around so I had him take $5000 out of my non IRA account, and use that as my contribution. I don't want to do it that way, but I'll make an exception this year. 

This year is starting out better, as I don't have to buy a pool. Pool also includes electrical, and permits too. A bigger deal than I thought. My contribution is in for the year. I am going to contribute as the year goes on from now on, instead of lump summing it. My contribution gives me a tax refund, which will pay for my golf membership, which means a lot of golfing for me. Golf membership = walk for free, and 1/2 off the range. 

The last two days Michigan had over 20,000 covid cases per day. That's beyond ridiculous. Hardly anyone wears a mask anymore. Our worst average before this surge was over 9000 cases per day. We currently are over twice that much. Businesses will struggle if they cannot keep a healthy staff. In any venture. 

I will just continue to do my thing. Nothing terribly exciting. I am back to my normal workouts. Back where I left off. I don't particularly like doing it, but I like my body hard. At 55 no one really cares about that too much. I am not out looking to get laid, that's for sure, but I want a better golf game.   :)  

Resistance training is probably better than just straight cardio. At least for me, since I typically have over 10 miles in my feet every day I work. More during golf season. 

Not much else besides that. I have my normal day off stuff today. I'll think of something for dinner. 

This week should be fine. Nothing too crazy going on. Work, eat, sleep basically. 

Laterzzzzzz.       :)

2 Days Off Mean, I Can Blog Twice.

Yesterday I had my typical day off. Laundry, cleaning,  shopping, Hope for a walk. I got my workout in, and made chili too. 

It was a pretty good day off. I drank a few beers, which I don't really like I guess. Seems to be no point to drinking beer. 

I watched football, which really wasn't all that exciting. Today,  I won't watch football, cuz who cares?  

I think we will go see a movie. I could look up a recipe too I guess. It is a New Year, and it doesn't seem like it to me. Seems like just a continuation. 

This year, I don't have to get a pool installed,  and we don't need to get a driveway installed. I have a new hobby in golf,  which will take up time. This year should be okay. More work, eat, sleep. I am going through books at a good clip too since I read instead of blog. 

See, no longer do I have anything on my mind. I have nothing to say, and nothing to blog about. My life is boring for sure, but I like it that way. I don't even know what an exciting life would look like though. I don't look at anyone else's life, and wish it were mine. Actually just the opposite I guess. I am glad my life is mine. I really wouldn't want anyone else's. 

I don't do anything important. I am a laborer. I like to work,  so that's what I do. Going to a park to hit 4 golf balls back and forth is simple for me. I trained for like a decade running, until my knees couldn't handle it anymore. Putting labor in to get better at something like golf is already ingrained in me. My last 18 holes of golf last year I broke 100. Got a 97. Next year I hope to get down to 90. 110-100 change in golf scores is so minor. Keep away from triple bogeys,  and a birdie, and par are so helpful sprinkled in. 

I am not overly excited for this year, but am content in doing what I do. 

I spose. 

Laterzzzzz.        :)
