I’m in no rush to get any older.\u00a0 I mean, I’m pushing the big 4-0 now.\u00a0 I figure it’s likely all downhill from there.\u00a0 But one thing I am looking forward to….retirement.\u00a0 It’s not that I don’t like working.\u00a0 What it really comes down to is, not working will give me more time to golf.\u00a0 For instance, I had every intention of golfing this past Sunday.\u00a0 But as usual…life just got in the way.<\/p>\n
Picture this….Connecticut….2014.\u00a0 It’s mid-April and it’s the nicest weekend of the year so far.\u00a0 You’re faced with a choice – hit the links on a beautiful afternoon or go into work and bust your hump\u00a0for six hours doing someone else’s job.\u00a0 Oh, and might I add that you’re doing it unpaid.\u00a0 Seems obvious, right?\u00a0 Wrong.\u00a0 For reasons that I won’t get into, heading into the office to do another persons job, unpaid, was about as close to necessary as can be without actually being necessary.\u00a0 I could have\u00a0chosen to\u00a0play golf, but I would have paid for it over the next several\u00a0days at work.\u00a0 So you can see the dilemma.<\/p>\n
It seems for me that things are always getting in the way of a nice round of golf.\u00a0 Between work, sports and activities with the kids, etc.., it’s a guarantee that I’m going to have to bail out on at least a few rounds of golf per season.\u00a0 So how bad of a sign is it when I have to bail out on the very first one?!\u00a0 Is this a bad sign for the remainder of the year?\u00a0 If I can’t even get out of the gate without incident, then what next?<\/p>\n
I guess I should be used to it by now.\u00a0 It happens to the best of us and I’m sure it will continue to do so.\u00a0 So again…I’m not looking forward to getting older, but I am looking forward to having more time to play golf.\u00a0 I’m looking forward to the\u00a0day when there is no going into the office on my day off.\u00a0 I’m looking forward to the day when there\u00a0is no longer “work.”\u00a0\u00a0Now that I think about it, I guess in a roundabout way…I am looking forward to getting older.<\/p>\n
