I just wanted to throw this out there. Yesterday I engaged in my second Team Titleist event and had a blast.
Non competitive but still people competed, good course (Black Gold), relationships made/refreshed, and basically a bunch of Titleist people golfing and talking Titleist.
If you have been on the fence and undecided, I strongly recommend you look at and attend an event in 2027.
This makes me laugh and chuckle in the most positive and uplifting way whenever I see this coming down Redondo.
Have a great day Long Beach.
Go Beach!
I haven't really had too much of Beachwood since they bailed on DTLB but this was and is, IMO the best and most consistent IPA they make. (Denver jackhammer is no joke tho).
If you have the opportunity, treat yo self.
Stay safe and stay thirsty my friends.
Been a minute since I had some monkish so went and got some today.
This TIPA is something different.
Stay safe and stay thirsty my friends.
Was away for a few days but I'm back at it.
Here is today's selection of what I am listening to by the GOAT, John Coltrane.
Keep Jazz Alive.
JC is my GOAt and I am listening everyday to one cd of his that I own.
I am pulling with my eyes closed so I have no bias and am posting because I enjoy learning what others points of view are, positive and critical.
Enjoy and Keep Jazz Alive.

UPDATE: I had forgotten how amazing this cd is. WOW.
John Coltrane is my number one of all time. I can listen to his music at any time any where and I am going to celebrate his music this month.
Every day I am going to make a point to listen to a cd I have of his, start to finish.
Let it begin with today's selection.
Man I love Coco Reno's. This shit cracks me up as a black man.
That is all.
Stay safe and stay thirsty my friends.
Just here to pick up a four back and got a little taste of barley wine, which is a BANGER.
Stay safe and stay thirsty.
ISM collab with Threes Brewing.
Another crispy crisp west coast IPA. Right in my wheelhouse.
Stay safe and stay thirsty my friends.
Question for the community but context first.
FIL has been in the emergency room for a week, stabilized and is now in rehab. My wife and I know rehab and a nursing home is the future but MIL (they've been together for seven decades) has convinced herself he is coming back home. But that is another issue.
My question for the group is, what have you done to get the spouse occupied and engaged. The focus has shifted to the MIL, she needs to get out, engage with people, be active, etc and not sit and home and melt into depression.
We started soft launching ideas last night and she continued to find reasons why she can't and that's got to change.
Just curious as to ideas, tips, tricks, hacks or anything.
I know I'm not the first nor will I be the last to deal with this.
I am a huge Coltrane fan, my number one across all music.
With that said, was looking at my bookshelf and saw these books, which have read twice.
Anybody want the three books, send me a message. I will mail for free, paying the love of JC forward.
Keep Jazz Alive.
Update - books have been claimed. Thank you all. I think i have a few more jazz books I will offer up soon.
Quick beer. Here is the big board. I had Terp Mart.
Banger.
Stay safe and stay thirsty my friends.
Here for Phish. The beer list is phenomenal but lighting absolutely is horrendous so no picture of it.
Having the HF Abner.
Asked the homie where to buy beer (my wife said 'my husband is a snob') and he said you can buy beer to go here.
Well alrighty then.
Stay safe and stay thirsty my friends.
Views from today. Needed an air quotes pick me up. (Excuse to stop and get beer).
I had a pour of the 'half remembered'.
Stay safe and stay thirsty my friends.
It has been a bit since I have put emotions into words but this was quite the weekend supporting my wife and her FIL cognitive decline and its effect on everyone.
Last week: FIL needs surgery to drain cranial fluid
And apparently he has carpal tunnel.
Friday: He says to an artist from Germany 'did yoj and your family kill any Jews?' (My wife and her family are Jewish)
Saturday: weekly market trip was an absolute shitshow with him getting lost and at dinner it is clear he is not in a good place.
Sunday: panic call from MIL and I had to suit up (good think I didn't have beers yet) drive over and assist.
At this point things are getting worse and at an accelerating rate. FIL needs to be in a facility or he is going force MIL into having a stress stroke and die. And end up in a facility anyways.
All in all I am just here supporting my wife as much as I can. This is absolutely brutal for her and nothing can be done until she and her sister get directly involved and make decisions or MIL admits she needs real help.
I know I am not alone on this journey and it is sad that the only real end is the end, and it is inevitable.
Be safe and sane out there people. This shit ain't easy.
Music on random. Althea came on.
I legit got emotional. I miss them, the community, and the experience.
I know I'm not alone.
Keep the music playing my friends.
