My first grandchild, fast approaching 9 months, is truly a double delight. He already sports two international passports. He is vicariously learning two different languages, and he has two beautiful blue eyes that lock on you and won’t let go. Over the past 10 days, I got to experience, for the first time, what it […]

As memory serves, about 16 years ago, I went deep sea fishing in a 24-foot catamaran out into the Gulf of Mexico. While I don’t consider myself a boat person, I did grow up on an island and all my life I’ve been around tugboats, cruise liners, and the little camp sail boat I got […]

I’ll admit it, over the past 30 days, golf has consumed my life. From the moment Delta’s wheels touched down on ATL terre ferme, completing an early August no-golf trip to Sweden and Denmark (fabulous countries by the way), golf has jumped up, grabbed me by the throat, and demanded much of my attention.

It is 5AM on a Wednesday, just a few days before New Year’s. As Covid has raised its ugly head again, I look back on 2021 both from a personal perspective and as a world citizen with a renewed understanding that health really is our greatest asset. This year proves once again that we can […]

I tweaked my back preparing for this week’s U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, and regretfully I have surrendered my spot to the next best qualifier. As you would expect, this is a bitter pill to swallow after years of preparation and countless hours on the practice range. The injury that sidelined me is a strain […]

Just ask anyone who ever met Dr. Jim Beaty–the men he mentored at the Peachtree-Pine shelter, the English majors he taught at the local college, or the high-powered businessmen he corralled to support his non-profit–and they would all marvel at Jim’s smarts, his smile, his presence, and his determination to help others. While Jim was […]

My oldest child, Ben, turned 30 this weekend, and Sally, Sara, Jack and I threw a little outdoor, COVID-safe, party for him in the backyard of his new Nashville home. It was a perfect night, almost too cold for short sleeves, but the fire, the drinks, and the simple humanity of being with people once […]

The NHL finally starts its season this month, while down on the farm, so to speak, play continues at NCAA Division 1 Hockey schools as all teams–pro or amateur–work feverishly to keep the COVID boogie man at bay. Over at Notre Dame, eyes have shifted from a promising football season that came to a sudden […]
