I completely disagree.

I've been tempted, and I can logically rationalize it away.

300 Miles

300 MilesToday I have surpassed 300 miles run. Go me.

Kind of an odd day for this to happen. 😛

Silence of our Friends

And that's it.

Good Phil Mickelson Article

I haven't read it yet, but I'm going to - a good article on Phil Mickelson.

I didn't used to like the guy. His skill has always been undeniable. I thought he was a phony. I still do a little, but I've warmed to him over the years.
