THREAD:

Fell asleep about 10pm last night and woke up around 8am- truly a New Year's Miracle. I woke up and thought, "what the hell am I doing?"

Made the bed right away. My "Divorced Dad Apartment" became immediately less miserable. I'm gonna do that more often.
I'm gonna listen to more music. @Khruangbin & @JasonIsbell were my top finds this year. Dove deeply into Sam Cooke, Oasis, Van Morrison, Stevie Wonder, PJ Harvey & the Bee Gees.

I will continue to lean on @JBernMN, @DJPie and @paranoiacs for their impeccable musical guidance.
I'm buying things that make me happy. Example: this Kenny Anderson jersey makes me EXTREMELY happy.

Kenny was so smooth he made being left-handed look illegal. Speaking of illegal, worry not how a kid from Arch Bishop Malloy H.S. got to GTech- just be happy you got to see it.
This is @sonofakarma, founder of @accesalabs & @PushHealth. We met 12 yrs ago in men's league. 3 yrs ago we decided to work together. Sales 🚀 & we've grown the largest network of connected telemedicine providers in the US.

I'm gonna keep believing in my friends.
@morgansimpson gave a sermon that spoke to "honoring our children as they are is honoring the work of the creator." This kid has so much to give the world that she's hard to fit in any mold. That's how the creator made her.

I'm gonna keep honoring this creation of our Creator.
I'm part of what you might call a *weird* church, but you're welcome anytime. Everyone is.

I don't care what @ChadHartmanShow says. I'm going to embrace color, texture, vitality, and form with all of my clothing and accessories this year.
Cashmere sweaters, vests AND scarves (take that @bamabearcat)
I'm gonna continue to get involved with causes and people who need to be lifted up.
@autismspeaks is hosting their first ever So Cal golf event March 15th and I'm IN.

@GoodWalkCoffee is already in; you can be too!

I'm your standard belvedere/soda kind of drinker but I'm employing the "2 drink max" rule in 2021. That's it. Not having a 3rd drink.

NOTE: the clock resets at midnight, so 2 new drinks can be ordered after midnight.

EXEMPTIONS: Weddings, funerals, buddy trips.
I'm gonna write less, but better.

Thank God for the @GolfersJournal & other publications that give space for creativity, passion and the unorthodox. Never change, @travismhill & I promise to give you stories that live by the credo: #DoNotBend
I'm gonna read more. Not just my golf favorites @AlanShipnuck, @coynewriter and @eamonlynch but also the far less talented people like @BrendanPorath and @TronCarterNLU
THE @SEC TOUR WILL CONTINUE. Gonna be tough to top Baton Rouge, but I hear Tuscaloosa is nice in the fall....

Pictured: 3 men who have never been to an LSU game. (Also pictured, someone who expensed $14,000 of charges from a strip club on Bourbon Street to a corporate card.)
I miss Minneapolis. I miss how cosmopolitan it is. I miss the accent. I miss how *horribly* people dress, and most importantly I miss St. Paul's inferiority complex. I also miss the insane level of elite golf courses.

I'm gonna spend more time in Minneapolis.
I'm gonna keep dressing like Seve because if not me, WHO?
I'm not gonna be any heavier than I am today. 169.6 lbs.

Edit: Fuck it. I don't care. If I'm happy at 182 I don't care.
I'm gonna hang out more with my neighbors like the famous "Silver Ferrari Guy Who Carries Easton Aluminum Bat In His Car" who I've grown to absolutely love this year.
Thieves have left me with one bike, "The Silver Bullet" by @PUBLICBikes. It's the nicest bike I've ever had.

I'm gonna ride the bike more this year.

(Note: I don't have a car right now.)
Sadly, large pieces of "Christianity" are broken (see: mega churches, prosperity gospel, Liberty Univ.)
But that's OK, because "We are all in" That means every single living thing on earth is IN.
If you haven't read @RichardRohrOFM do so.

I'm gonna re-read it.
I'm gonna win the club championship at @SouleParkGolf

(I say this every year.)
In closing, I'm gonna be an ally to those who have less, those who are marginalized and denied. I'm gonna be less selfish, more generous with my time, energy and resources.

I think our greatest gift may be what we have to give to others.

Happy New Year.
