I think we all need to be more serious.

Bob, Neko, Teo, Joani . . . . . everyone . . . . .  you guys are better than this . . . . so I ask all to collectively hope that he is sitting at a poker table with his hoodie and sunglasses and be glad when he returns . . . . . just sayin'

I'm guessing you get that a lot.

I just met with people who I had helped during Katrina who lived in Biloxi.  The hugs I got this weekend have been the top of my bucket list.  I was on my way to surgery to remove my gallbladder when I started to get the hysterical crying phone calls.  These people were in shock.  They had lost everything, and did not have clothes, and people they knew were dead.  The business which employed most of them was wiped out, and they needed help.

From the area outside the prep area for outpatient surgery, I called fourteen people to kick in 500 bucks apiece, get air mattresses, and sleeping bags to my new home to house 20 scared people who included young kids.  When I got out of surgery and made it to the parking lot folks were getting what they needed the hysterics had stopped and we had a plan to help everyone.  I may not live that much longer, but I have always cherished my friends and family.   The hugs I got this weekend were so sincere and meaningful it almost made me uncomfortable because many of the folks who I was competing with in golf never get to see my soft side.   I am too busy messing with them.

Biloxi is booming and these folks are on their feet again.  I had a wonderful winning streak on the way down winning in St Louis, Memphis, but I lost pretty bad at the Beau Rivage and Greyhound.   However, those hugs.......worth more than any poker pot.

As to anybody thinking that they can drive me off with words......you make me smile.  Yes, I can be incredibly arrogant, but is it not fun when you think you can get the best of me........does it not feel good.  I intentionally stir the pot to make people think and I challenge their ideas and beliefs.   That can be scary at times, but in the end if a person is sensitive, I will back off.  In real life, I take down bullies and never try to hurt people, and here I simple challenge people to think.  So mere words hurting my feelings.....you have no idea.....I live for the honesty here........keep it real, and come get some of me.........but you may have a hard time getting around that big ol head.
