Sometimes they have those long putt contests to win cars, and the putts are ling 40 yards long, up and down hills with three or four breaks.

 

Ceil and Bruce Ambrose did meet up at the Passion Conference. It gets over today at noon. Anna is taking Christian to the rehearsal dinner tonight and wedding tomorrow. Christian is spending the night at our house tonight.

 

Back at work. Got my work emails going again. Only had 140 to go through. Already got it down under 30. 

Got a lunch meeting on Friday. Probably Jason's Deli. Trying to be good here in the new year. Leftovers for lunch today.

Recommended Reading from Bill Gates:

1. An American Marriage by Tayari Jones

2. These Truths: A History of the United States by Jill Lepore. Only 800 pages, Gates calls it "the most honest and unflinching account I've ever read."

3. Growth: From Microorganisms to Magacities, by Vaclav Smil. Gates admits he doesn't always agree with the author.

4. Prepares: What Kids Need for a Fulfilled Life by Diane Tavenner.

5. Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams by Matthew Walker. The book persued Gates to change his habits.
