When golf's got me, I often "give up". Stop playing!! That'll teach
it.*&%$#@#$ Of course golf couldn't care less if I play or not (I
miss my golfing friends), and I usually pick it up again. Yesterday
in the face of my grandson's rebelliousness I gave up, walked away not
just for the moment which was the *right* thing to do, but I continued
that distance thru this morning to punish him. Yeh, that'll work for
both of us. I hate waking up in a cycle that I keep going thru. I
wish it were easier to stay awake. Whether judging myself or him, I
often wake up in the punishment cycle which is always counter
productive. I'll give your golf notion a try. Our little dwarf
orange is still holding onto its fruit and is in full blossom. What
an effort it makes for my grandson and my breakfasts. Best regards and
stay well, Student John. P.S. When I first visited your site I was
put off by your long rambling postings, but having now received one, I
can say I truly love them. They and you give me a feeling of warm
acceptance. Thanks again.
