Tuesday: messed around at work until 545. Ceil fixed black beans and rice. Also some chicken.
Wednesday: played golf for the first time in over a month. A little pain to start, but have felt good the rest of the morning. Found a Tylenol in the pocket of my shorts, so I took it before teeing off at 631 am.
1. Hit 3 drives off the tee. They all felt good. Grass in the rough was super high. Only found one of them, but did find 3 other balls. Got decent distance on my approach, then flipped three nice chips – 2 stuck on the green. Two putt for “bogey”.
2. Hit one 6 iron off the tee. I thought I saw it, but never found it. First chip got knocked down by a tree. Decent second chip. Two putt for a “double”
3. Hit 2 good 9 irons off the tee – both to the fringe. One of my putts rolled close. “Par”.
4. My first tee shot was short of the green. Chipped onto the green. Two putt for “bogey”.
5. Hit a 6 iron too good, and it rolled off the back of the green. Mulligan to the fringe. Three putt for “bogey”.
6. Hit two bad, then an okay third drive. Fairway shot hit the big oak, but got a good richochet down the fairway. Then the shot of the day – a long low 8 iron onto the green. Two putt for “bogey”.
7. Hit two cruddy drives, then a good one. Hit two cruddy fairway shots, then a decent one. Hit two cruddy approach shots, then a decent one. Hit two okay chips. Two putt for a “double”.
8. Hit a pretty good drive off the tee. Saw my pal GT playing the 7th hole, so I waited for him to join me to play 8 and 9. He had just returned from China. While waiting for him and looking for my tee shot, I found two more balls. Hit a terrible approach, then hit one on the green. Two putt for “bogey”. For the record on most of the holes I was leaving my ball about 2-3 feet away from the hole, leaving me a “tester” putt to finish the hole. I made all but one of them.
9. Hit a pretty good 3 wood (for me). But then two cruddy chips. Three putt for a finishing triple bogey. Finished at 8 am. Made it to the office at 9 am.
Lunch at ‘Cue, the BBQ place. Eric treated me and Brad. Pork sandwich and lots of fries. Very good. Left work at 440 pm. Stopped by Taco Bell for my free small order of nacho fries but they gave me a larger order of loaded fries. Drove home to pick up Ceil. We left out around 550. To avoid rush hour traffic I took Lower Roswell to Johnson Ferry through Sandy Springs, then south on Lake Forest down past Chastain to Roswell Road, then Peachtree down to pick up Anna. Decided to skip Grindhouse. Instead we ate at Jaliscos.
Anna & Caleb usually eat at Taqueria, but she enjoyed Jaiscos. I got the #1 combo plate: taco, two enchiladas, and rice (above). C usually gets a chalupa, but figured out what she really wants is a tostada. It was huge (below).
Ceil and Anna both ordered sangria. A great meal, but after BBQ for lunch and the loaded fries snack, I was stuffed.
Stopped by the new High Country store in Peachtree Battle shopping center. Anna was like a celebrity there, since she works up the road at High Country headquarters. We stopped by to see Goose. Caleb’s regular Friday morning Bible Study had changed to meet on Wednesday night, so we missed him.
Going home I took at right from Steven Long onto Peachtree Hills Avenue, then right on Lindburgh, then right on Garmon, then right on Piedmont, then right onto the Buford Highway Connector, then right onto 85 south, then right onto 75 north, then right onto the 120 south loop, then right onto 120. Hardly had to stop all the way home. The only left I had to make was onto our street. Much easier than stopping at light after light to turn left.
Then Ceil wanted me to taste the apple pie she had made me, with all natural Tillamook vanilla ice cream. I asked for a small serving. It was great. Didn’t sleep well, probably because I had eaten so much.
Thursday: up early to work out at the gym. Wore the new white Hoka Clifton 9 sneakers Ceil had given me. She bought them at the High Country, but didn’t use Anna’s big discount. Drives me crazy.

DENISON: according to various reports, Generation Z has the poorest mental health of any generation in America. They struggle with alarming rates of loneliness, depression, and suicidal thoughts. They are also our nation’s least religious generation. By contrast, actively religious people are: (1) more likely to describe themselves as “very happy”, (2) Healthier, with greater longevity, better coping skills, and less anxiety, depression, and suicide, (3) more psychologically resilient with a higher quality of life, and (4) better able to handle economic uncertainty and downturns.
