There Is Warmth!!!

-
I saw a 64 on my outside temperature reading as I was driving.

The heater wasn’t blasting!

Had dinner with a couple of good buddies and we started talking about golf.

It’s been months!!!

“You going to be able to play?” I was asked.

“I hope so. Seems like I’m good most of the time. Massage!”

“Oh gross,” one buddy said.

Then we got to talking about the time I birdied the 18th hole at a nice course in Syracuse.

I announced it to all of the 15 other guys that were playing that day.

Individually announced it.

Multiple times.

I had made a miracle putt to get it done.

“Remember your birdie?” One buddy said.

“Why did you remind him?”

The birdie became legendary later that evening when I ran into an older guy at the clubhouse.

The guy was a complete stranger to all of us.

“You see that group of guys over there?” I asked the guy.

He nodded.

“Here’s what I need you to do.”

The guy sauntered up to our full group (I love him for this!)

“Hey guys,” he said.

Every eye turned to him.

“Did you have a good time?”

They all answered positively.

“It’s a beautiful course, right?”

Another ringing endorsement.

“Tough, though,” the guy said. “Especially 18. I’ve never heard of anyone ever getting a birdie on that one.”

Then I emerged.

To a chorus of boos!

Can’t wait to play again.

God Bless the old guy!

Suits

Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

My Buddy, Dave

-
Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I bet you tha

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C’mon, Oliver,”
