My dad played golf every week of his adult life. It would not be a stretch to say I first was on a golf course at two months old. As a child, I remember going my dad’s buddy’s house and watching in fascination as he made a set of kid sized clubs for me. My…
A couple of weeks ago I went to Boston. While my actual work was in the suburbs, I unexpectedly ended up with one free evening. Even though it would have been easier to stay in my comfy Hampton Inn bed and catch up on Property Brothers, I decided to have an adventure and head to…

With a lot of travel coming up, I am looking for reading recommendations. My Kindle needs new books! In the past few months I have been reading a mix of things, from complete escapist fun to end of the world mystery to memoirs. A few things I would recommend: Something Borrowed, Something Blue, Love the…
