Golf as Therapy

I love to golf simply because it gets me outdoors. Driving a cart, drinking a cold beer and scoping out squirrels is heavenly. The game itself is the most frustrating game ever invented by man. So frustrating that therapy sessions and confession may be needed. And I am not even […]

Language of an Author

One thing that makes me laugh so hard is the thought of acting like a Masterpiece Theatre author. For example, I dream that one day I’ll be wearing a tweed jacket and either a fedora hat or ascot cap. Around my neck would be a wool scarf and I’d be […]
