It’s not you golf, it’s me – I want to start seeing new sports
Seriously, Braemar? A sixsome on a Saturday morning? Won’t come back
The industry appears pretty healthy this morning @ Braemar Golf Course
The pics from opening day at SLS Las Vegas make me want to hike up to that end of the Strip next time – they even had Lenny Kravitz there
A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.

The music from The Jungle Book is really one of my all-time favorite soundtracks
Tickets purchased for Matt Wilson & John Munson at the New Century Theatre on 11/7
It took three giant glasses of water to make up for the humidity tonight (plus all the water stops during the run)
Bonus late day 14 miler with Megan and Yaniha along Minnehaha, Mississippi and the Greenway

Some of the stuff floating around my head during last night’s run:
- It was truly an honor to meet Gordy on his birthday – 87 years young and still working every day
- Biology is against me, but I firmly believe that my fastest races are still ahead of me
- I had completely blocked out the fact I got a “C” in high school calculus until today
- Selected school celebrity crushes: Molly Ringwald, Rebecca De Mornay, Belinda Carlisle and Olivia Newton-John
- The death of Robin Williams, like Kurt Cobain before him, hit me in ways I can’t really describe in words
- There are so many old friendships that I miss today – need more happy hour reunions
- Only applied to four colleges: Harvard, RPI, Air Force Academy and Naval Academy
- Original career dreams: aeronautical engineer, pilot, cartographer and ski bum
- Current dream jobs: runDisney manager, Mystic Lake VP, JAMF crew, ski bum
- Test at work said I manage stress well – that’s a lie
- My top four methods to manage stress: exercise, get enough sleep, make todo lists and declutter
- I don’t fully understand how rural economies are sustainable (even with broadband)
- Right now, metro > outstate for me and I want to be with my daughters full-time before Christmas
- Like many golfers, I don’t play as much now as I used to. Reason #1: it’s not as consistently fun as my other sporting options
- A friend recently told me he doesn’t view slot machines as entertainment. That is a major problem for the casino industry
- Auditoriums full of rude people are probably the biggest cause of Hollywood’s box office decline this summer. That and the big screen TV next to my couch with Blu-ray, AppleTV and cheap snacks in the kitchen
- I give it a new shot every week, but I find Windows 8 to be just awful
- My five-year-old MacBook Pro is still cruising along, but it’s age is starting to hinder some of my workflows
- Apple should hire me to show them just how frustrating using the Finder and typing on iOS can be
- When Candy Crush refuses to sync my progress with Facebook, I feel incomplete
- Can’t wait to go to the Minnesota State Fair for my 45th year in a row – hello chicken in a waffle cone
- Things I need less of in my life: secondhand smoke, gambling, debt, politics, pounds on the scale and inches around my waist
- I’ve never purchased more than a few articles of clothing at one time – an entire wardrobe is crazy talk
- Part of me misses owning a house, but I’d never buy another one like I had before
- The Simpsons is really an amazing body of work
- Where are all the bunnies? What will I tweet when I get home?
- Eating Timbits and a bag of chips after a run really defeats the whole purpose, doesn’t it?
That was a lot of stuff for a relatively short run…
Back in the late night saddle again – 8.4 still very warm (and slow) miles around Eagan
I ordered up my ancient high school transcript and they didn’t print out anything from sophomore year – I’m 99% sure I passed
Whoa, huge difference in weather conditions when I stepped out of the car
Next stop, Gordy’s
