Foursome Down To TWO

So today I booked a 9 AM tee time at Penmar. It was just Scott and I today and I can't lie, no Greg today or maybe ever made me a bit sad this morning. Also not going to lie that in my mind it was just going to be Scott and I and I don't know how long we're going to be able to sustain that. I mean it was really just Greg, Scott, and I for most Sundays ever since the pandemic. Can't see Scott sticking it out all that long... but we'll see. And anyway, there's still just today. Beautiful Sunday for the first day of August and we were joined by a two-some and a single. I don't know how Lisa can say I'm not that social since in the context of golf, I think I'm plenty social and I'm plenty talkative. But playing while being social also means I get to be that on my terms. Not to mention I actually have to focus on my actual play. And today I wasn't bad I must say. I started this morning with a meditation on the game, not so much each individual shot, just feeling good about playing. First hole, swatted it right down the middle about 190 yards. Way left on the 2nd shot but got in close enough to the hole in 3. Missed the par putt, made the bogey. Second hole, got bailed out when my blast hit the pole but it was on the fairway. Nice recovery 150 yards down. And then I got on the right side of the green. Again a bogey. On the third hole: hit the tree again, got out a weak second shot that still didn't make the green. But my chip from there almost went in the hole. Another bogey. Same on Hole 4: High fly ball right down the middle. Hooked the second shot right but got close enough to the hole on the 3rd shot. Missed the par putt, made bogey. On Hole 5, beautiful shot off the tee right on the fringe. Missed the par putt, made bogey. A pattern had definitely emerged LOL. Anyway, I finished the game with 6 bogeys, 3 double bogeys, and no pars. Decent game. Not a great game but pretty good. And I felt good about it. Just like I envisioned in the morning. Being in the area already it was a no-brainer to pick up lunch at Crimson. And if it weren't for Claire the dog being so happy to see me that she pee'd right when I petted her right on the floor, it would have been a really good morning already. I ended up yelling at Claire. And then feeling really bad for having done so. I mean she was just really excited that I came home after having been gone all morning poor puppy. Anyway I followed lunch with a nice 45 minute nap, even if Fitbit refused to acknowledge that I got one in. And then I got a surprise text from Lisa sending a picture of the kids doing the same pose they did the first time we took Johnnie to Maui. Same beach, same pose. Bigger kids. It was more than 6 years later so that was to be expected. I thought it was really cool actually and though we never talked, it was like they made contact and I really appreciated it. And so finally I finished my Sunday with the usual run of errands. Grocery shopping, laundry, making myself carne asada for dinner. <It was REALLY REALLY GOOD too! see the pic!! I was so full!>, taking the dog out for a nice walk, cleaning the toilet. And I actually picked up some more where I left off yesterday with the educational stuff. Today it was the Magnetic Mind recode from Chris Duncan. After all, there is still a lot I need to work on regarding my scarcity mindset. I mean why would I be afraid of losing it all, if I truly believed I have unlimited supply and that I have more money than I will ever need? Work to do on that clearly. AND I have to gear up for Town Hall week. Not Town Hall Day, Town Hall Week. Starting with tomorrow in Eagle Rock. Haven't been there in years! I'm thrilled <scarcasm...>
