Currently in the dog house. Was rushing and answered the door without a mask on to give the UPS driver back a package. The UPS driver didn’t have a mask but was outside and was at least 6 feet away and the interaction was loke 20 seconds.

Been sort of, kind of thinking about picking up guitar playing...again. Played quite a bit during college but with graduation, marriage, new job, etc., the Takamine 12 string found a place under the spare bedroom bed and rarely saw daylight. 30 years later, we were so overwhelmed with retirement, selling the house, moving to Montana that, I just opted to sell it, along with lots and lots of stuff (absolutely amazing what 2 people collect).  I did keep my Eagles, Doobie Brothers, and a few other songbooks however.
Living rural, lessons are not likely too convenient but, with all the on-line stuff, I'm thinking that might be an option.  Not sure about a 12 string (hard as hell on the finger pads).  To those who play and those beginning (first time or do-over), what recommendations do you have?
Yeah do it if you can! I was down to 1 classical and 1 acoustic when my daughter was born. Sold the acoustic.. and then eventually the classical. She remembers when "daddy used to play". My little guy is 3 and doesn't even know that about me. Played for 35 years and then just quit. :(



the more I practice, the luckier I seem to get..

Just noticed yesterday that the mandatory mask signs at one of the pro shops are gone.

While I was at the range today, a guy next to me broke an iron.  I thought he chopped the ball in half, very strange noise.  Luckily I had eyes on it because he never saw it land.  Saved the day, but... it’s an older PING and it broke off in the hosel... good luck.

Two of my kids were in a local production of the Broadway version of The Little Mermaid. My son was the lead, and my daughter was in the ensemble cast. Great day!

That's a reason to be proud. It looks like they had a great time performing. That is awesome @PMookie!

The golf club I played at today, when I walked into the clubhouse I was the only one of 4 people in the building wearing a mask.  Nobody said anything but it was a weird sensation.  Being a week beyond Pfizer 1 and 2, it probably doesn't amount to much but like some kinds of humor after a tragedy, sometimes it can be too soon and I will stay in practice for now with the mask.  It's actually surprisingly comfortable wearing one when winds are strong that drops the wind chill temperature effect on skin or that lifts dust and grit into the face.  Like all things, this too shall pass.

We're scheduled for Pfizer #2, Sunday the 4th. Our plan is to continue wearing masks around other people inside. Exception is when we're outside (golfing, etc).

We're scheduled for Pfizer #2, Sunday the 4th. Our plan is to continue wearing masks around other people inside. Exception is when we're outside (golfing, etc). 

We went in a cart excursion (3 couples) to the new part of the Villages that can now be accessed by the recently opened cart bridges over Florida Turnpike & another major road. We were looking at the quickest route, by cart to the 5-6 golf courses there. It was surprising easy and located and noted the route.
Anyway we stopped for lunch at an area between 2 courses that has 3 food trucks, open air bar, live entertainment and a grove with picnic bench’s & tables, not bad. The point is out of the 100+ people there I saw maybe 4 masks. One reason I imagine is almost all seniors here are vaccinated.

drove to the local first tee donation center today to drop off some old clubs. 

handed them to the guy behind the counter and he said “thanks, they’re most likely gonna throw them out, but i’ll send them over”

according to him, First Tee throws out 90% of the clubs that get donated. 

that seemed like a ridiculous exercise in futility so i took my clubs and left.

vaccinated population + outdoors makes masks a non issue. 

the problem is the folks who have been vaccinated who feel they don’t need to wear a mask inside in public spaces now. 

seems like every problem we solve creates 2 more.

Sounds like a really great golf location!
and the mask thing, how conditioned we are... had our first family birthday party over the weekend in over a year with only those who were healthy and vaccinated present, and the sharing a room with others I have not really seen in 14 months was surreal to say the least.  As weird as it was to get used to, it is going to be just as weird getting back to what it was.

Masks are disappearing exception indoor activities.
