OMG, Carol, thanks for letting me know this. This explains why I'm not getting traction on X. I'm lucky if my posts reach 10 people. I've gotten the warning before on posts (that aren't, in any way, in

Cool. Thanks for sharing that! I'll dive into it.

Maybe I'll rent some gear first (if you can do that at the courses) to make sure I like it—but I can't imagine I won't. It seems like a fun sport without the expense and snootiness of traditional golf.

Try not to beat yourself up. It's so tough to know the right thing to do in those situations—especially since you were younger when you were faced with the decision and information was sparse. My SIL worked

So true! Even if we're in close proximity to each other our devices can isolate us. I think we often forget we have the power to choose not to be a slave to those devices.

That sounds like a great experience! I'm sure that changed you in some ways.

So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for reading!

I'm 55 and Juan is nearly 70 years old so I was nearly 30 when we first became friends. I hope you get to travel. Travel really is the best entertainment and education.

It's hard at first, isn't it? Traveling alone can make you feel self-conscious in the beginning. I've been doing a lot of solo trips back to my native Ohio since the pandemic and then last year to Austin,

I can't imagine being in this world and not being curious. I always wonder about people who aren't passionate about or interested in anything. Being open and socializing has definitely become easier for

Thanks for this! Oh man, that's horrific.

It depends for me. The vibe/energy has to be right. There are so many people like that who just want to be heard. I only brought two books this trip and ended up giving one to Mamadou and the other to

I think I'm definitely a mixture of both (ambivert.) An ambivert sits in the middle of the introversion–extraversion spectrum and can draw on either set of traits depending on the situation, mood, people,

That's a really unique course in the middle of the woods and I bet all those trees make it challenging as well. We have a few frisbee golf courses here. I've been thinking about taking up golf again but

I’ve heard some very good things about BYD and a few other Chinese-made EV brands. We don’t have access to them here in the U.S.. They’re so much cheaper than what we have here they would probably dominate

I get that from my Dad but sometimes I retreat into my shell. It depends on my mood and the environment. When I travel I'm on 10 typically. A true Gemini, I guess. My Dad could talk to anyone and was instantly

It doesn't always come naturally to me. My Dad was a complete extrovert, my Mom is the opposite. I feel like either of those influences can surface in my case, depending upon the situation. For some reason

Thank you for your kind words, Luis! I hope to meet you someday! Enjoy your week my friend.

Nice picture! I bet that's a great memory for you both. No gray by 67 is pretty good! My beard is nearly all white at 55 but I still have (mostly) black hair on my head.
