In other words, I eat good food, have great sex, and enjoy the hell out of my audio system, but it’s all in measured doses that don’t leave me feeling gluttonous at the expense of others.
Just thinking/sharing, not really trying to judge others if that’s not where you’re at.

So many folks seem unable to exist without alcohol and talking about the distant past. They are all currently at my Labor Day party. Let’s drink and talk about the present fuckers

My sis is going back to the south, and i kinda realized how little time we spent together these days. Im thinking about going to see her on november maybe.

good luck Daft. hope you get to give a kid detention in the first week so you can really set the tone for the school year
went golfing yesterday. was having my usually outting when on one par 5 i duffed my wedge and landed about 20 feet off the green and about 5 inches into the rough around the apron
was irritated about the duff so i grabbed my putter. sank the putt like a boss for a total of about 50 feet to salvage a bogey

Snatching bogey from the jaws of triple bogey. That's a major win in my book.Peeps wrote:good luck Daft. hope you get to give a kid detention in the first week so you can really set the tone for the school year

Hell, just getting out on the course is a win to be honest.
I need to make time to play more golf. I used to.

I have a brand new Paradym driver I’ve used once. I needed a break to lose a few losers that I was playing with. Who you golf with makes a difference.
