Brief Hiatus

Posted by Double Eagle in Miscellaneous

Apparently, my gall bladder has decided that it doesn’t want to be on board for my quest to become a golf pro. It has sabotaged my efforts with a case of gall stones.

After a brief deliberation, I have decided that we will be parting ways on Monday morning at 6:15.

I expect to be home recuperating for a period of 10-14 days, but I’m not sure what to expect with respect to pain and discomfort so I’m going to go on the assumption that I won’t feel up to posting for a little while. Though, I could just as easily be sitting here bored out of my mind and happy to be writing something.

Time will tell.

In the meantime, I can really use the time off to rest, relax, and reflect. Trading a semi-useless organ for two weeks of R&R is OK in my book.

I’m sure I’ll be catching up on my reading, so get ready for an onslaught of book reviews.

In the meantime, I’ll be sitting here enjoying my prescription pain killers.

    Gallstones, Mike. They had to take out my gall bladder. I had it done this morning, so I survived but am not feeling at my peak right now for sure.

    Well, I can say that I have a lot of time on my hands, but concentrating on writing is a different story.

    Wow, I also hope you get better soon, my dad had the surgery and he thought it would not be that big of a deal compared to his heart operation, he says till this day the recovery was worst than with his heart operation.

    I’m getting better every day, Mike. I’m going to feel a whole lot better when these surgical staples come out. They’re really uncomfortable.

  • Do You Break Enough Tees?
  • That was the question I asked myself on Sunday when I managed to get out for 9 holes. My own answer was “no”. I guess I should really revise that question. If you don’t break tees, do you at least knock them over or out of the ground?

    One of the nuggets of wisdom that Harvey Penick shared in his Little Red Book was “clip the tee“. I’ve mentioned that one before and it’s one of [...]
