On January 15 of this year, Sam and I played a round of golf at the Links at Norman. I’d just finished up my “top golf shots of 2025” post that I was extremely proud of and wanted to try something new for 2026. On the extremely short par-3 3rd, I dropped my tee shot …

10 Things From South Korea: May 13
Once upon a time, when planning our trip to South Korea, Elizabeth wanted to split our time between countries. Despite the fact that we’d be there in the middle of May, forcing our trip to be a little shorter than otherwise (I can’t take that long off of work in the middle of storm season), …

10 Things From South Korea: May 7
Well: I have once again embarked on a potential once-in-a-lifetime trip. This time it was 11-ish days in South Korea, which Elizabeth and I visited with her immediate (and extended family) for her cousin Michael’s wedding to Irene. Not only did we get to experience this with Elizabeth’s family, but we were lucky enough to …
