July 30, 2020 - 321 - "Vamos a Jugar al Golf"


Triple The Leave, Triple the Goal-Setting!

     I'm not one to waste an opportunity to over-schedule and over-stress to challenge myself.  I started my expanded leave of absence with a day of goal setting and planning.

     I hadn't practiced golf since last year when I went through a couple of months of pretty regular practice.  We got into the house renovation in Mexico, and then this pandemic came along, and I didn't pick up a club for about 8 months.

    Our local driving range is open again.  (Masks in the clubhouse...and social distancing outside.)  And I thought:  Hey: a golden opportunity.  When will I have all this free time next?  So I got back to that last night.  So far all I have to show for my new effort is a new blister.

    Oh, yeah, and also, I thought I'd double up on my efforts to learn Spanish.  

    ...and then there are about a dozen other goals, mostly focused on writing funnier.

Just Need The Right Coach

     If only I could find a funny, Spanish-speaking, golf coach, I'd be all set.

     Turns out:  Lee Trevino is just 80, and surely looking for something fun to do during this endless pandemic thing.   (If any of y'all know him, please put in a good word for me.)  I figure in 18 months he could have me speaking Spanish, playing golf, and laughing all the way through the experience.

     -Out daughter-in-law signed up for the Sweat app, the exercise program I've been doing for 203 weeks.  I'm excited.  (Misery does just love company.)
     -Progress continues at our house in San Miguel.
