1:42 pm	Can This Year Really Be Over Already?! Once again this year seems to have just come and gone. My mom used to tell me that as I got older the years would just fly by. Naturally I didn't believe her, probably because, at the time, I was in school and the school year just seemed to last forever. Even the summers seemed to go by slowly. Now it's like Christman arrives just after the 4th of July.  I've never been one for New Year's resolutions. Usually I just hope that the next year will bring me more happiness and prosperity than the year before. But this coming year will be much different since I am starting on a new career path as of next month. I will be going to paralegal school. I hereby resolve that my attendance rate will be 100%. I will not miss any class time. I will study hard to make the best grades possible. I will have the mindset that my life depends on making good grades, which in a way it does. I will keep a good attitude even when things are not going according to plan. I will be flexible when flexibility is called for.  I have now been unemployed for about two and a half years. This is due to the fact that I have limited my job search thus far to insurance adjuster positions, which are few and far between here in Houston. It finally has dawned on me that maybe I should start considering changing careers. I have now made that decision and am excited about my future. I admit to also being a little nervous as I am changing careers relatively late in life. Better late than never! I resolve that at this time next year I will be working as a paralegal. Happiness and prosperity will naturally follow. I can't wait for next year to get here! Pull Out Those Golfclubs And Enjoy Life!             Current Mood: excited (Comment on this)

2:55 pm	Another Funny Golf Story Here's another pretty funny story that actually happened to my golfing buddy a few months ago. We were playing a hole on the front nine (I don't remember the specific hole) and my buddy hit his drive to the right of the fairway and into some swamp-like terrain. He was about knee high in the weeds whacking his golfclub through the weeds trying to find his ball. I had already figured that there was no way he was going to find his ball in all that mess so I didn't bother helping him (that probably was bad etiquette, but he didn't mind).  All of a sudden I heard him scream bloody murder and start running for all he was worth. I asked him what the problem was and he said that he almost stepped on a water moccasin that was curled up and had its mouth open, flashing its fangs. He looked like he was going to faint or something! I couldn't stop laughing. Talk about a water hazard! Take Out Those Golfclubs And Enjoy Life! Current Mood: amused (1 Comment |Comment on this)
2:31 pm	My Most Embarrassing Moment In Golf I just wanted to relate a pretty funny incident I had on the golf course just last Saturday. It was not funny at the time. I was on the last hole, the 18th, and had just hit my best drive of the day. It was pretty long and right down the middle of the fairway. I only had about 120 yards left to the green. I chose to hit a 9 iron for my approach shot. I was hitting directly into the setting sun and did not see my ball take off. It sort of felt like I had pulled the shot, so I looked to the left of the green to see if I could see the ball land. I saw my ball take a huge bounce to the left of the green. I thought that I had hit the cartpath. When I got up to the green two ladies sitting in a golf cart told me that my ball had hit on top of their cart. I apologized quickly and profusely for not yelling "Fore"! I still couldn't find my ball. I asked the two ladies if they knew where my ball ended up. They told me to go look inside the trashcan that was next to the clubhouse. Sure enough, there was my ball, resting at the bottom of an otherwise empty trashcan. I dropped 2 golfclub lengths and proceeded to knock my next shot over the green and into a pond. A perfect drive wasted! Take Out Your Golfclubs And Enjoy Life!
