How has your week gone so far? I have various preparations to do in advance of upcoming projects around the new residence. With that in mind, we hope to reach an important milestone by week’s end that will lead us toward final completion of an area next week.
The streak of wonderful weather is great for golf. Too bad my game this week was not even close to the weather. Oh well … that’s golf … but hopefully I’ll be better next week.
Time for the mid-week collection of humor. As always, for those desiring an extra challenge, reshuffle any of the words below to develop a new headline. My “combo” is at the end. Have a good rest of the week.

Focus on the nice walk on the lawn, not the moments of frustration. Makes golf that much better.
I had a conversation with a coworker that cemented my impression that he’s an idiot.
Should make the rest of the week fun!

Guapo,
Generally speaking, golf doesn’t get to me mentally … so I don’t get overly frustrated. Last night I couldn’t find my rhythm, thus struggled … but I accepted it for what it is.
Good luck with the idiot coworker.

Golf is way too boring for you, Frank. It makes baseball on TV look downright exciting.

Nice batch of witty Onion headlines, Frank. “New employee finally around long enough to be deemed incompetent” resonated because we have one of those slackers at The Grind (not in my department). Overall, it’s been a good week thus far. The Boss is vacationing for two weeks in Europe. No separation anxiety from me.

I’m enjoying a fine week, Frank. No big “highs” but correspondingly, no big “lows” either. 🙂 I love an ordinary, unexciting week. Too often the excitement means we’re doing too much. LOL! Sorry about the golf, but you may have been a little distracted anticipating all your projects. Be well!

Distractions weren’t the excuse for struggling golf because I just didn’t have it (which does happen).
Cosmetic surgery is all about the beautiful people … but I’m sure it’s not a big business in your area. 😉
